Is there a difference between a retractable stock for the HK 33/93, and the MP5/94?  Seems like I remember the rails/arms being slightly longer on the 33, but it's been a long time, and I don't trust my memory so much any more.  Thanks!

Yes, the receiver on the HK33 is longer so the forks/arms of the '33 A3 stock are longer.

Also, the A3 for the HK33 has a spring loaded buffer built into it to buffer the bolt in that gun.  The MP5 A3 just has a rubber bumper buffer in there.

Thank you sir, for confirming my somewhat soggy/foggy memory!  I'd completely forgot about the buffer as well, was it set up like the G3 & incorporated the recoil spring?

This video covers all of the differences:

No, it didn't have the main recoil spring attached, in that way it was like the MP5.

Here's a picture of the inside, the little cylinder in the center is the head of the buffer.



And for comparison, the MP5 A3

That video CPShooter posted answered a couple questions I didn't even know I had about the Vector HK33/93 A3 stocks, lol!  However, I've decided that the HK A3 stocks, and the Uzi collaspible stocks, while they look cool as hell, aren't worth a shit for actual shooting, I much prefer the fixed ones, even though I don't look nearly as cool doing it.
