Size 8.5 feet. M31.

PTR’s build quality seems hella nice, feels leagues above the import clones I was finger blasting.

Does the magpul lower only work with the SEF trigger packs? TIA

Title says it all. I am looking for a folding stock for an mp5k that fits via 1913 rail on the back. I want something that wont interefere with firing when folding and also locks up rock solid when unfolded. Bonus points for a cheek riser. TIA.

Hello r/mp5 - here is my conventionally barreled and suppressed mp5.

The next time you see me will be the real, true, SCHALLDAMPFER.

My next set of these will be my real true, honest to goodness mp5sd. Good lord know I’m excited!!!

This mp5 is just boringly reliable, consistent, and just easy as can be to shoot. It’s basically a cheat code.

Milkman, 90 degree locking piece, HSL 147.

I left a clip of supers in at the end as these are the first ever shots on this new, second Polymer Pew metal lower. Breaking this new lower in for SchallDampfer.

Good times!

Question I need an adult

5 Upvotes

Just bit the bullet and got an SP5K-PDW with plans to suppress, FRT, SBR, the works. My main question lies within the suppressor choice. I've been pretty heavily leaning towards the Lithium 9 but have heard it's quite gassy especially if you're running it in fun mode with an FRT. Can anyone confirm or deny if I'll get gassed out?

Just added the Shadow Strategic optic adapter to the KAC Tri-Rail & loving how I can now use the diopter sights as backups.

Question Rare breed Ambi switch

No threads? So I just received my RD3 Ambi and the right side switch was missing the set screw, but appears that it is also not threaded for one. I can't feel any threads when I run the allen wrench across the inside of the hole. I will be reaching out to CS but just wondering if I'm going to need to ask for a new switch as well and not just the set screw.

Question Extended Safety/Selector Switch for SEF trigger housings?

2 Upvotes

I have an AP5 with a typical 2 position SEF trigger housing. I noticed a lot of people recommending the Magpul ESK as an upgrade both for the extended safety, and a smoother safety. However, I've also been seeing a lot of posts mentioning the Magpul ESK will eat away the polymer on the trigger housing and eventually ruin it with enough use. Are there any better options for an extended and preferably less stiff safety to upgrade with?

Question How to choose an optic?

2 Upvotes

Hello guys, recently bought and AP5, and I’m wanting to add an optic. What should I be looking for, and what is best practical?

-absolute co-witness
-1/3 co-witness
-tall mount

I’m finding the iron sights to be a bit difficult to use. With that being said, practice makes perfect, and I’m definitely planning on mastering over time.

I guess my question is, what are the pros and cons of the 3 options above.

Just trying to learn more,

Thanks

Century arms AP5 bought used, G3 converted lower housing, MI handguard with some busted KAC rails I had lying around, primary arms 1x prism on a BT-21298 rail from an older project, and a CNC warrior tubular aluminum brace on an MI 1913 end cap.

Just kind of a mess of parts, but it's my mess of parts. Hoping to turn it into a little FRT host for funsies with a cheap can.

Media MP5-N with F type stock

Post image
189 Upvotes

I hear we like MP5's around here. This is my MP5-N with the F stock instead of the original 2 position A3, that one is rather brittle as this started its life as a parts kit and it was old. Don't particularly like to abuse it if I don't have to. Original barrel and majority of components, has around 23~26,000 rounds on it at this point and still going strong! Only general wear and tear on the usual components like the extractor spring and roller retainers, etc. I do have the original trilug flash hider as well that came attached (more like stuck) to the barrel, which is nifty. Original sling as well, though I cant stand the thing. Handguard was missing from the parts kit, so modern surefire handguard was thrown on.

This gun always makes people come over and ask if they can have a go with it haha.

I'm sure my significant other would have probably chosen a new car over this project but... you only live once right? 😅

MKE AP5-P with RCM MP5-E bolt, RCM 80 degree locking piece, MKE ejector. Looks like the bolt gets caught on the ejector.

Just installed the bolt and locking piece. Haven’t fired the weapon. Cycled fine the first 10+ times then this started happening.

Any suggestions would be appreciate.
