MP5k Boneyard - Trigger Release Question

Hi I bought an MP5k boneyard off here - I am not entirely sure of what the make is upon receiving it as it has a Chaoli motor so I don't think its a TM, but probably a galaxy clone. The mag release button has snapped off. Here is what it looks like:

The issue is finding the replacement seems impossible. Mags will not stay in it. I stripped it down a bit more and the mag lever snapped off too. I may be able to get a CYMA replacement for that bit thus:

But the actual button part mag release button, I cannot find one anywhere, other than an ICS MP5 one from Firesupport. I have messaged Frank to see if it will be compatible (but I doubt it).  JG used to make what I need:

Ostatní díly pro MP5 : Tlačítko se záchytem zásobníku MP5 - AirsoftPro.cz

But they are out of stock everywhere. 

 

The lower receiver seems to be new and the upper receiver seems old. I think the Lower is an aftermarket part (or vice versa lol) - and that is why the mag release button and lever that was installed in it probably snapped off as the mechanisms were VERY stiff to push. It seemed like the parts were not compatible which led to it breaking off in the first place.

 

My question is - will the mag lever function without the button and by just installing the Cyma mag release lever part? Any help or advice appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

or drill a hole through the broken part and use a thin bolt and thread lock to make it whole again

Thanks for the advice. Sorry I think I am misunderstanding though, that part you have posted is out of stock - are you saying I should just get that part somehow or do the drilling? Also it is a standard MP5 part, I am guessing they are cross compatible then? If so - happy days, the ICS part FS have may fit then, although I was under the impression the K had its own proprietary parts. 

 

So you are saying to get a tiny drill bit and drill out the part that is stuck in the RIF and then thread something like this into the drilled hole and then thread lock lock it? Honestly its better to talk to me like I am a proper dunce in this area as its the first boneyard project I have taken on! :D

The front and back of a K is different from a normal sized MP5. The mag catch should be the same. Hopefully the FS part will fit.

 Thanks for the advice mate - will give it a try! :)
