Hi all, I'm a proud new GSG-5 owner, and I can't wait to start customizing her...I found a few Retractable stocks that I'm interested in, but had a few questions. What's the difference in the 2 different Classic Army Retractable Stocks? Will they both fit the GSG5 without modifications? Classic Army MP5 A3 Retractable Stock Assembly ST-A030M-CA http://www.cobraairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3512[/url] Classic Army MP5 A3 Retractable Stock Assembly - New Version ST-A173M-CA http://www.cobraairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3831]http://www.cobraairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3831]http://www.cobraairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3831 And I also found this one, I haven't seen anyone on here really talking about it, does anyone know if it will fit without modifications? NEW ICS MP5-A3 Retractable Stock (fits all standard MP5 including GSG5) [url=http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=a030m-a3-retractable-stock&Category_Code=bone-yard-mp5&Store_Code=R]http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=a030m-a3-retractable-stock&Category_Code=bone-yard-mp5&Store_Code=R Thanks in advance for the help!!! |

I purchased one of the "new" CA MP5 stocks (A173M) from Cobra Airsoft. Opted for the quickest shipping and had it within a week of my order. Fits nicely with no wobble. I did have to use some grease and a mallet to get it all the way on but otherwise, installation was a breeze. The sling loop also fits on the "new" stock:
Picture of the packaging: 
Stock extended (ignore the grease marks): 
Stock collapsed: 
How much of the ejection port is covered by the rails in the collapsed position: 
From reading other posts, it appears that the rifle will still function with the stock collapsed. |

Looks good Engineer! I got mine in today about an hour ago. I got the same exact one...the A173M model from Cobra as well. It only took 2 days to get here from China...unbelievable! It came yesterday, but I wasn't here to get it, and they required a signature to deliver. Fits great, metal cap which I like, and seems very sturdy and no movement. A good option and better than the original stock, in my opinion. The cheek weld is no where near as good as the original stock, but still, it seems that it would be more durable and being able to collapse it out of the way is a BIG + in my book. It makes it a nice compact unit with this installed. I was able to get mine all the way on and off by hand...no mallet needed. It is tight, but I am just able to push it all the way on, and wiggle it a little and it comes right off, so I am happy about that. I think that I am still going to get an ACE block, so I can mount something like an ACE entry skeleton stock or a MagPul CTR, since I have a couple laying around and that will give me a couple more options to try out. I will post some pics and let you know how that goes when I get it. Later, JuJu |
