Was thinking about getting one of these MP 5K clones that PATR is now making. I see HK parts has left hand cock and tubes for a K model for like 100 bucks but when you got to do to change it? Do you need like to weld it or use a press or something?

Also what is the cyclic rate with a full auto  tungsten laden carrier? Asking for a possible use With binary trigger

That left hand tube will require cutting, welding, and refinishing. You're better off buying parts and sourcing a builder to put it together.

Ralph Jr just did one recently

Yikes!  Thanks guys.  I guess i will pass and look into a banshee

I'm a lefty,

Why do it ???????

I own almost ever 9 series out there.  I'm missing the 21.

Why spend the $ for only 10% of us????

I heard an interesting stat the other day.  Something like 40 percent of special operators shoot left handed, I think that is why all of the new platforms are becoming completely ambi.  I am left eye dominant so i have been shooting left handed since I was 8.

wut?

where did you hear that?

I shoot long guns left handed. Standard MP5 is pretty left handed friendly. With a little practice most guns are pretty adaptable. I dont run ambi or lefty controls on any of my guns and do ok. Our department finally got around to issuing patrol rifles (AR) and they have ambi controls, but my muscle memory keeps me using the right handed controls. I actually still use my personal sbr because I prefer it. A lefty cocking tube for an mp5 does sound kinda cool, I never really thought about it but I guess the idea behind it is simple but sounds like a lot of work and money to put on an existing gun, might be better if you were already building from parts.
