How hard is it to add a red dot to these? I have the HK 22LR version and I just had to add a rail on top. I'm hoping this version is the same. |

 My AP5-P with Wolfman 9 in short config. Used my 3D printer to make a spacer to fit under the Unity Hot Button to run the Modlite since the A3 tactical foregrip is too wide to allow use of the 45 degree interfaces adjacent to the bottom rail. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @coltc any updates? Not knowing much about these platforms, I didn't realize the HK trigger housing I ordered would not work with my factory AP5 trigger parts. I messaged Century and asked about getting a new trigger housing and included pictures of my factory housing with oval holes. They wanted the whole gun shipped back. I only wanted a trigger housing. They said they couldn't send me a new trigger housing and would need the whole gun. I went to the EE, found a guy with MP5 parts and bought a Centruy trigger housing from him. It is supposed to arrive today. It may be a bit before I can go try it out with the new trigger housing and new HK ejector. I hope this fixes it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ve named it a “THS” (trunnion heat shield). I made it [out of Kydex] after my 1st trip to the range with the AP5-P. I fired about 220 rounds and the trunnion got very hot. I don’t like to wear gloves so I had to be extra careful not to touch the trunnion. I couldn’t even place my hand on the magwell. The THS solves the issue and It snaps on/off easy. Also worked great with my AP5 when it had a slim hand guard. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1200x800q90/924/fcdsOy.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/923/5PvRja.png Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What is the shroud over your front trunnion area?
