JamesWills Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 With MP5's now starting to be delivered into the UK I thought it would be good to start of thread of people who have got or are wanting to buy the Tokyo Marui MP5 NGRS. Something I saw on Facebook today was that RS handguards fit perfect onto the gun without any modification. RS stocks however will not fit however without modification.

It sure looks great with the RS hand guard. I couldn’t tell which rear stock was which from the pics. I’m sure the RS one could be modified to fit somehow. A Dremel and so metal epoxy may do it perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I don't have Faceache, but the picture above is interesting. The picture from earlier in the other thread seemed to indicate they wouldn't (the locking tab looked a different size and shape). Any indication if they can fit a battery too, because the Marui handguard looks bigger and that's apparently a tight fit? The Surefire grip is such a classic look, although it does mean you can't run a suppressor at the same time. I am in two minds about running out to get a B&T one, or just doing the sensible thing of waiting for the inevitable aftermarket parts (or using a railed foregrip and just mounting a regular torch)...

It’s just a matter of time before the aftermarket parts become available. I’m sure the likes of Laylax and Angry Gun are already in the process of reverse engineering whatnot. One thing though they do need to sort out that front flash hider end. Having to use an adapter to screw on a suppressor is a tad pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I thought it was a reasonable solution, but I say that from the slightly smug position of someone who still owns one of the Guarder MP5 QD suppressors. (I'm only smug until I find out it doesn't fit or something equally hilarious). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hold on I have a TM MP5 RAS laying around somewhere. I’m sure it’s flash hider clipped off and it had a 14mm thread on the outer barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromulon1994 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 They did this with the AKM. Made a decent gun, but couldn't be arsed to make mags. I really, really want a saiga but this puts me right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey_Gravey Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I didn’t bother picking mine up due to the fact I could only get 1 extra mag, nowhere seems to have them so I’ll wait it out. Did have a little play with one though, did feel amazing. Also happy that I know I can fit a Titan nunchuck in the Handguard. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesWills Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Just seen on Facebook that someone has created an SD6 and I think it belongs to @SonnyMP5 I will let him share the photos 🤩 Edited September 10, 2021 by JamesWills Jacob Wright and SonnyMP5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SonnyMP5 Posted September 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yes did build up a SD6. Finished it last night came out lovely. Wasn't too hard to build if you can get original ICS parts and have access to a lathe to build an adapter. Longer barrel and new spring bumped my FPS up too 340 so looking forward to using it tomorrow for its first outing. Also fitted my magpul guard and gemtech QD suppressor from my other ngrs mp5 I built myself to see what fitted and they went straight on. I have a real steel sliding stock that I wanna try out but I think only the rails of the stock will fit with some milling so I might stick with the original as it's way more solid than any sliding stock on Rif.

Hatchet Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looks great. I don't have access to a lathe. Then again, I still have both arms, which I probably wouldn't if I had access to a lathe. I can't be trusted with power tools. Does it make much odds to battery space or is it much the same? Also, bold choice just jumping straight in there with the spring swap. Like it. Any word on the compatibility of existing AEG stocks? I have a B&T side folder I wouldn't mind having the option putting on. Jacob Wright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyMP5 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Tbh it was time consuming just sourcing the parts I needed. Then factor machining the parts it would be a expensive kit. No doubt by next year laylax or another company will hopefully have built a SD kit or TM might even eventually offer over variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Mine's arrived this morning. I haven't yet sorted a battery (as I have no tamiya types), but initial fit and finish is as good as everyone says. Feels solid and well balanced. Very minor wobble with the stock extended, but that's coming from the arms, not the body and there's no way of avoiding that I don't think. Texturing on the lower receiver and fire selector is subtle but so much better than the old version. Fire selector is beautifully positive and trigger travel is fairly short and has reasonable spring resistance when pulling. The front grip is slightly rougher than a real one I have here and the seam line on the bottom is more noticable, but it doesn't feel cheap and there's not flex in it, so there's no urgent rush to replace it. Although the real grip fits, it doesn't fit in the same way and sits a little off (bit high at the rear). I'll try and get pictures later. It's still usable and I don't think it's going anywhere, but it's not quite as locked in as the Marui one. This makes sense when you look at the way they connect - the "hook" inside the foregrip is a different shape for both and it's sort of only partially hooking on with the real one. AEG stocks don't fit, the NGRS body is slightly wider than the old spec. Annoyingly my guarder MP5 suppressor also doesn't fit. I suspect there's just millimetres in it, but there we go. I shall investigate further and see if that can be sorted. The low profile rail mount I've got does seem to fit okay though, contrary to some other people's experience. Might be the mounting method, or it might be I just haven't noticed it's skewed yet... Jacob Wright and SonnyMP5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mightyjebus Posted September 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) G&P RIS Rail and G&P scope mount fit fine. A saddle bag 7.4v Lipo can be fitted in the front RIS however I might need to shorten the wires slightly for it to look a bit better. *edit - A suystema TW5 full stock will fit with a bit of dremeling or sanding.

Hatchet Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Getting a battery in seems to be the biggest pain with this, curse my fat fingers. I have ordered some new connectors (Amass MR30) so that I can at least get rid of the adapter to save some space. I'm wondering if the SD conversion has any more room @SonnyMP5 , and I'm also wondering where I can pick up a solid stock to convert. Or, I guess, I could just have a bit of patience and wait for the inevitable aftermarket support, but that seems unlikely. Ordered a couple of high-caps off Impulse101 to tide me over until the standards come back into stock anywhere. No idea when they might actually turn up though.

Yer the SD conversion gives you way more room for batteries. Hatchet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
