I just got a Zenith Z5-RS and now I want to dress it up.
For some reason I really like the look of the C-More railway sight on the MP5. Something like this. (Not my picture) 
I plan on using an MFI low mount. Is there anything other sighting system I should be considering? |

I'm using n aimpoint micro. This seems to be working out very well for me. Using the B&T 21241 mount I get lower 1/3 cowitness and lots of adjustment for rail location.

I highly recommend this mount:
https://www.botach.com/kley-zion-hk-mp5-ultra-low-profile-aimpoint-mount/ and any small red dot of your choice like a Bushnell TRS25, Primary Arms micro, or Aimpoint T-1/H1. The Kley Zion mount is a very good, quality copy of the B&T low mount, but MUCH cheaper. Since the MP5 platform is by design a compact, short range weapon, you don't want to put a big, full size optic on it. The Kley Zion mount and any of the above listed micro sights will give you a true co-witness and will serve you well. |

I didn't like it at first, in fact, I had listed it to sell here but the Zeiss Zpoint is growing on me and I think it has a pretty permanent home on my Omega.

I personally find the micro red dot in a low mount to give an overly cluttered view due to the co-witness with the diopters. For this reason I prefer the 30mm tube aimpoint Comp series on a mp5 in a low mount. Even better if you mod the front sight by cutting off the top of the hood.

I shot a sbr's ar15 with a C-more red dot 3 years and fell in love with it. ive shot other red dots and like them, but the c-more i just loved. I just dont love their price tag
 and imo, the only 1 worth it is the 1 with the Alum. body. Right now i have some cheapy amazon red dot that works, but 1 day ill get a c-more.

Aimpoint Micro (whichever one you like) on a Daniel Defense Gen2 mount w/o the spacer. Hole in the bottom let's you use the irons if needed.

I just saw where someone was using a Holosun 510C. I might have to try on for my MP5K clone.

This is relevant to my interests. I have not found a combo yet that i like. The front sight and ring seem to clutter the sight picture a bit too much for me. I'd like to get a combo that puts the red dot above the front sight ring
The C-More and the Holosun both look like viable options |

I've got the holosun 503GU on a key zion (bt 10266 clone) ... it gives a great cowitness setup if thats what youre looking for.. and one of the best things about the 503gu is its auto on and off..if cowitness is not what you want this same setup but add a see thru riser .

Added a cheap QD riser mount to the stock Zenith mount. Puts the red dot above the front sight ring and if the red dot goes down, the QD mount leaves easy removal for iron sight use.

A TRS-25 in a QD low mount resides on both my MP5 and HK53. I like the set up very much. Any micro dot in a low and preferably QD mount is perfect on an HK IMO.

This is my AR9 with a Larue tall mount and T2 compared to my HK94 with a HK height Larue mount with a T1. With the HK height mount you don't see the front sight ring.

I have been throwing around the idea of buying one of these for my Mp5 22, I have the one built by Walther. Is Primary arms stuff OK? do they hold their zero?

I'm also a Micro to 30mm convert, much larger FOV to get around the clutter of the irons.

I went with the Aimpoint H1 with a B&T low mount on my MP5K clone to make it as compact as possible. I do agree that the cowitness with the front sight is a little annoying but you learn to kind of look past that while shooting. I don't care for the larger red dots on compact PCCs but that's just me. Who knows maybe I'll try it one day and like it.

I got a Holosun that I really like for a budget optic. Fantastic features.
That said, I can not for the life of me get any kind of decent co-witness with the front sight. Love to hear what you guys did, with what optics/mounts that got the co-witness right. |

I had a MFI mount with a PA microdot. With a comfortable cheek weld, it sat on the top of the sight ring, so I had the top of the ring cutoff from the 10-2 o'clock position. No regrets...

On the one hand, I really want to do that. On the other, the knowledge that I'm making what is essentially an unalterable change to a pretty damn expensive gun has kept me from doing it so far. I hear ya. Mine was a Coharie clone that ran 100% with a sear so I didn't hesitate to chop it. |

I used the Kley Zion ultra low mount and a Bushnell trs25. I drilled one of the rear sight drum's holes out until it was the same size as the front sight ring when looking through the sights. It gives me a pretty good field of view and a true co-witness of the red dot. I really don't like a full size optic on an MP5.

Looks like an ADM QD mount I have the low profile MI mount and it looks pretty close to that as well. I need a mount/optic cowitness combo that puts the dot on the front sight post. My MI/Holosun combo definitely doesn't do that. |
