Cipher-032 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Had my preorder conformation come through, hurrah! So question time: Recommend me a battery to fit the Magpul handguard please? Im probably going to be a heathen and get the drum mag and adapter unless I can find magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this battery in my magpul handguard: https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/4693/s/vapextech-airsoft-7-4v-1300mah-25c-lipo-cranstock-battery-with-case-lp302-deans-version/ I would recommend switching the connectors of the battery to MR30's so you don't need to use the adapter as space is tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hedwins Posted October 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2022 FINALLY got my hands on an MP5 and four spare mags. Found a solution for mounting a scout light which works really well, and allows use of the original TM forend for maximum battery space. The claw mount is the wide TM version. You can mount an optic towards the back, with room to spare for a Surefire offset mount in front of it. The Scout light is long enough that shadowing isn’t an issue, but short enough that ambidextrous handling is still possible without having to change the forend and use a vertical grip. Pressure switch is just taped neatly on the top, as I like to shoot thumb over bore / C-clamp. Got a night game coming up soon and can’t wait to try her out. The suppressor is the TM pro tracer, attached to the adapter which comes in the box with the MP5. Looks good enough for me.

AttackPlatypus Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 That's really neat. I was looking for a way to mount a flashlight to my NGRS. Though I run a UH-1 on mine so may have to go another route as I'm lacking in rail space. Absolutely jealous of your spare mags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I got 10 minutes out of mine at the weekend and then it made the expensive noise. Disassembly today reveals a stripped piston, although gears are intact. Anyone know if this is proprietary to the MP5, or if it's common to the AK/G36 series? (doesn't look the same tbh) Obvious follow up question - where to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchet Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yup, installed a new spring a while ago (Eagle6 M100 I think), so I accept this is probably down to me. It was literally just a spring change though. Nothing else got touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted October 31, 2022 Supporters Share Posted October 31, 2022 Bet you didn't even conduct the swap in a hermetic chamber to contain the TM dust 🙄 It's half a joke... I think we're in that early-adopter phase right now with people treading unknown ground with the platform. It may be a one off of course, or maybe this design really doesn't like to be not-stock, or maybe it was a bad early batch, no way to say for sure. Personally I'm only changing the externals on mine and the plan is for that to be all I do, at least for say 3-5 years, even then only in the event they release more variants, the user base grows and really good MOSFETs come out perhaps that are even better than the stock one. My SOCOMs have a few little internal changes in 2 out of 3 (Deans swaps excluded), but I've left one dead stock and I'll bring one modded + the stock gun to any given game, which has worked nicely for many years I have to say.

Hatchet Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's fair. I fell into the "moar powaaaah!" trap. Also playing outdoors in a dusty environment and judging by the amount of crap, grit, etc on the innards it hasn't helped. I guess by the time I get spares, there'll be mags back in stock. Incidentally, there were a load over at Impulse101, which I was going to order but... eh, maybe not right now. TheFull9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate just happen to be in Camoraids and noticed a ngrs mp5 being worked on and they are using the new FPS TM ak pistons for the mp5 with a lil modification. Worth speaking to them with how long TM spare parts take. Hatchet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the way to go since there are aftermarket AK ones more readily available. Will report back with any news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to remove material from the retractable stock which in turn would allow it to be pulled off from the base if the lever is held down manually. The hole for the pin lines up properly however though you’ll really want a locking pin for the rear. I used the one from the other MP5 with the UMP folding stock (has the QD sling mount). SL handguard was also not a drop in fit. You had to remove material around the back end of the handguard so it slots into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex001 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 IMG_9283.MOV Feeding/magazine help… Hi gents, hoping you can help. I have an issue with feeding on some particular mags, some are better than others but the issue can still occur on the goods mags. As you can see on the video, it doesn’t like to feed until I press the bottom of the mag forwards. It’s a rather intermittent issue but the video shows it at its worst. I think it has something to do with the alignment of the hop unit entry tripping the bb release on the mag but I wondered if anyone has had similar issues and how they solved it. I’ve reassembled multiple times and can’t see anything out of the ordinary. any help or suggestions appreciated 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
