Tech Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Anyone know if it's in stock anywhere? Or someone selling one? Been wanting one for a while and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and I can't find one for the life of me. Any help is massively appreciated.
strykerles Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 try putting a wanted advert in the classifieds, might help ?
Krisz Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 When I bought my mp7 wgcshop had navy version in stock but just checked and it's gone. Patrolbase sells the A1 version if you can't wait. ? Tech 1
Duff Beer Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 MLE Mart have the Navy rail, so you could get the standard MP7 and cut off the grip? That’s what I did with mine.

That’s what I did with mine. I thought the navy had some of the kinks from the a1 sorted. As well as the foregrip. If not I'm might just do that. Also don't suppose you know if there are small 20 round mags anywhere? I only see the bigger ones.
Nick G Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 G36C rails fit the sides of the A1. Not had any issues with mine, it's a great little gun. Use it as a primary at the local woodland site on occasion. Tech and Duff Beer 2

The version 2 of either model were the same internally as far as I’m aware. The differences were the folding foregrip and the inclusion of the side rails in the box. My A1 is a version 2, and apart from the stock locking catch failing (a common fault, order the Crusader steel version immediately) it’s been good as gold. The foregrip came off mine really easily with a junior hacksaw (remove the folding section first my taking out the centre pin), and then as said above the G36 rails fit perfectly. If you want to go a bit niche you can put MLOK rails on instead of RIS. My OCD couldn’t handle a mix and match between the side rails and top rail though. Unfortunately there aren’t any 20/30 round mags for it. It’s a shame as running it super clean with 20 round mags would make it the perfect sniper backup (and give slightly more choice on the mag pouches as well). If anyone does find any let me know!

Patrol Base have the A1 at £289 at the moment (check it’s the version 2 but I guess it is as mine was from 2019). MLE Mart is where I got my rail, but I had to contact them directly for a shipping quote for (apparent) PayPal reasons. They’ve always been good for me, but if you’d rather order direct from VFC you can do. I can’t stress this enough though, get the steel stock catch as the standard one will fail. It’s a £10-15 part and will give you piece of mind.

Ah thanks so much dude. Saved me the legwork. The mle Paypal thing is a bit weird but hey if you get it I can't complain. Thanks for all your help.
Duff Beer Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 No worries! You can also get in touch with VFC for the rails if you’d rather deal with them ?

Used an adapter on place of the standard flash hider to bring the threads up to the usual 14mm - https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/metal-100x35mm-dummy-sound-suppressor Think it's that one, but showing out of stock at the mo https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/lees-precision-engineering-cnc-machined-14mm-ccw-thread-adapter-for-umarex-vfc-and-ksc-kwa-mp7 And the adapter Tech 1
