MP5 clone question: Short barrel and fake supressors

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MP5 clone question: Short barrel and fake supressors

What does the barrel look like under the fake supressor?

I was thinking about about SBR and taking off the supressor would sure be easier than a whole new barrel or cutting the long barrel.

Anyone have any pictures of that short barrel with the supressor taken off?

It's a 3-lug, 8.8 inch barrel. No pics, but it looks like any MP5. They pin the fake suppressor to one of the lugs.

How? Put the supressor on, drill hole, insert pin, weld shut?

What would the best method be to remove it? Course, I'd prolly just take it to a smith.

You have the process right. On hk54.com, the SW website, they know more about the process of removing the suppressor.

Just look at the fake can, you can usually see where the pin was welded over. Grind that down with a file or dremel until the pin is able to come out. If you can't see the welded spot.. try stripping the finish off the base of the fake can.. that will make it easier to see.

You might have to heat up the fake can to get it off... they can be on there pretty tight.
