This.....

I've went through a couple more bulk packs since my first outings with the EBay rail and it has held up fine. No issues with either the rail or the S.P.O.T..

Trevort,

That is good to know. The screws on the UTG P669 and NcStar mounts do not come out of the claws; after a certain point they just turn freely.

I have ordered the mount from eBay and look forward to a proper flat mount.

Jacknife,

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles.

I misinterpreted your statement about the clamps; I thought you used them just to keep the mount on the receiver while tightening the screws. My presumption is that your mount also has the angular projections on two of the claws (as opposed to the flat prjections omn the other side.

Is that correct?

Bummer. I wonder if the Airsoft rifles have a slightly different attachment point.

Well, here's hoping the one I bought from eBay works better.

I have a Gemtech Outback II Suppressor and it looks like the Walther P22 Adapter (M8x.75 to 1/2x28) will allow me to mount the Suppressor to the HK MP5 A5.
Has anyone shot the rifle with a Suppressor?

Got mine out last weekend. Took the brother, niece and nephew out and had an absolute ball with it.

I think I need to change out the front sight blade, but otherwise it was a great little shooter. The kids loved it!

Just got my fixed stock for the A5....FYI it adds a little over an inch to your shoulder than with the collapsable.

I like the gun....but I like all HK stuff.

Also got an HK 10 round mag....same length & look of the 25 but only holds 10. Looks like you can't redily convert it to 25 though?

Thanks for the link to that mount. Since Saturady is supposed to be around 103 without the heat index in my neck of the woods, I'm hoping to work on the claws for the UTG mount, and the magwell on my WASR 10/63 to make it take european surplus mags. If flattening the angled claw doesn't work, I may order the one you mentioned. I still need to dig in the drainage pipes for my down spouts before I pour my patio, but high temps will make that a morning and late evening job this weekend. Thus I'll have the middle of the day to work on my rifles.

I'm afraid that if I don't work on them this week, I won't get to them this month. Among the my irons in the fire for this month are: 1) install pvc drainage for my downspouts and the condensate line for the hvac; 2) pour the concrete patio; 3) build a new, larger stoop at the back door with new brick steps; 4) build a 3' tall retaining wall at the back of the patio that will be topped with a 2.5' deep table top; 5)build a 2' tall 28' long retaining wall/herb garden along the side patio; 6) run power to my shed. Needless to say, I have a busy July in the works.

Check evilbay - do a search for side folding stocks - saw some for the GSG on there just the other day.

Then you're in luck, because the HK will be better than both of them.

Just changed my place holder post on the first page so that it now has a list of hot links to other HK MP5 .22lr discussions. I hope these links help answer any questions yall might have.

I had my buddy mill off the radius to a flat on the 2 legs that were problems. Before that, I couldn't get it to lock down at all, even using clamps first.

In case anyone is wondering, those are not roll pins holding the legs on. They are tiny allen set screws that are removable. You can take them out, get the legs off for much easier modification. Just remember to locktite them back in.

I now have a good positive rail lock for my red dot!
