Drum mag on the Apache. Whilst I'm not a huge fan of drum mags , it'll be handy in games to have 300 rounds , especially in cqb.

Would any of you kind folks happen to have a VFC MP5 retractable stock you're willing to sell?

 

 

[ProfHappyCat]

my humble contribution.

 

VFC SD3 2024.

 

Genuine Aimpoint 3000 with a custom machined lens protector

Repro 660 Flashlight

Cheap Torch mount (require boring to fit the suppressor)

Guillotine Airsoft Hop Arm + NPAS (need to sort NPAS)

 

Already modified my magazines and sorted the wobble in the stock - receiver

 

Just need to get out and play with it.

The Modern Sportsman has some great MP5 accessories that might help refine the setup even further. If you're thinking about a new handguard or stock, they've got solid options that won't mess with the classic look too much. I swapped out a few parts from there, and everything fit well without any hassle. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to upgrade while keeping it functional and clean.

My venerable MP5; it was bought in 2013.

 

Only the externals remain of the original SRC gun; all the internals have been changed.

 

I really should get an SEF version to go with my G3, HK33, HK53 and MC51.

 

 

It transitioned!

All you need now is a skinny handguard, crane mount & a big F^<k off torch.

A skinny handguard is next on the list.

I got a couple of messages from folks selling theirs, so there must be some around. There's also been an add in the classifieds selling 3D printed ones.

FYI... the one I got was missing the 'spacer' so I had to DIY one from some pipe.

Octagon used to sell them with the spacers, but they aren't on their site now :(.

I was looking at those too but was impatient, so placed a wanted add in the classifieds.

Here is my DIY job, it suits my uses but wouldn't be game worthy, picked up the pipe from Screwfix direct with some electric trunking which I used for the torch mount. It was a pretty easy bodge TBH.

That is nice; I am going for a more minimalist look.

New addition added to the MP5 'section'.

Love my ICS MP5s first AEG I bought in 2004 was one and used them since

My first gun, the Cyma MP5K Platinum with the 5KU spitfire/tracer suppressor.  Just back from being upgraded so it has a longer inner barrel which runs nearly the whole length of the suppressor. Also has a Gate Aster, brushless high speed motor and upgraded hop up.  Accurate to 55/60m and 27RPS.

How is the drum mag? , I know they look a bit mehh and are a pain to carry but 300 shots is 300 shots.

It's pretty decent . Does suffer with cool down if you go to gung ho , used it last time I played for a game , just went empty as game over called . 

I have now fitted an hpa adapter in place of the fill valve as I am now running my 249 on hpa on occasion. Took it out to test this morning and that combination is good , and ideal for cqb etc. I like the stick mags normally and wouldn't hpa those , same for the L119s etc .

As the suns out, I decided to get my HK’s out. All VFC GBB’s. I’m seriously toying with getting a G3 again to add to the collection.

VFC MP5K-PDW with its new silencer/tracer:

 

[Baser]

Just finished putting this together, it was a boneyard Cyma Platinum MP5 CM0.41G which was scratched, bashed and wouldn’t shoot straight.
 

A good clean and service on the inside, fresh coat of paint to the metalwork, fore grip, Nuprol torch, theta optic, a bit of camo tape and extended battery tube for the stock and she’s ready to skirmish on Sunday.  
 

Might pull it apart again and paint the metal parts in camo and add a dummy suppressor at some point but trying to decide if it should stay Matt black as it is a MP5?

Hi Nick

 

How are you getting on with the drum mag? I have recently picked up a WE Apache and I am debating whether to add 2x 45 round mags or one of these.

 

Thanks in advance.
