Anyone know who makes this mount?  |
|
You posted several pictures. Do you want to know about the receiver mounted rail or the optic's mount that's attached to the receiver mounted rail?
The rail is HK as part of their midlife improvement package for the MP5 and is not going to be available for a while, and probably not to civilian customers. Google the letters on the optic mount, ERA TAC, and you'll find this. http://www.eurooptic.com/era-tac.aspx |

Yeah, that's HK's 4694 STANAG mount - Link I too doubt we'll ever see it in the States. |
|
I contacted a distributor for HK here in the US about getting the keymod foreend and the top rail. Said they could get them, but it would take 6 months and they were $300 each. Had to go through their contacts in Germany to find out.
TBH, I think the B&T mounts are lower than that anyway |

Dakota Tactical makes a Keymod fore end for half the price and is similar in design..
DT keymod |

I guess it looks cool, and if you want that RAL mid-life upgrade look, it'd be worth it. To each their own. |

That's too bad, looks great.....I'd love one. |

WOW. For about the cost of a Glock, you can mount an optic that costs more than a Glock on your HK that costs 4 Glocks. Very cool mount though. |

$400? Yikes. So it does exist here in the States? Well, it's cool but $400 cool I'm not sure. |

what are peoples thoughts on the MFI mount? I have seen a lot of those around but, I have not heard reviews. If it is a solid mount, it would be a good option for the OP.

Plus, it's way cheaper. That looks nice. Thanks. Far more affordable and B&T quality. I'm now somewhat torn between mounting an RDS or just getting a tritium front sight post and calling it a day. I have an SF forearm on it with plenty of light, and given this guns place, a tritium front sight might be fine. Nice option though if I decide to ditch the rail the gun came with for something better though. |

MFI Looks almost identical to the rail that came with the gun, but it might sit lower, which would definitely be preferable. Thanks for the link. |

It sucked shit. The B&T 10266 is not pretty but it is the best and lowest profile (single slot) rail I've found. edit-- link added http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/B-T-MP5-LOW-PROFILE-MOUNT-LMR-FOR-AIMPOINT-SHORT-VERSION-133p3268.htm |

It sucked shit. The B&T 10266 is not pretty but it is the best Agreed. When I sold my first MP5 clone, the MFI rail went with it. Had to file the feet to match the claw-mount of the gun. So at that point it was "custom-fit" and I didn't want to mess with it. Bought some B&T mounts from HKPro members and Wolverine Supplies in Canada (before RTG carried them) and everyone of them fit my guns just fine, regardless of being swapped around. B&T is where it's at for HK mounts. |

MFI I have had several mounts of that style with various names, and they all have worked fine. Annoying to get installed though. I only put aimpoints on top. |

I've had two MFI mounts and they both work fine. The second one needed slight filing on one of the hooks and I believe MFI states that it is not uncommon because of slight variations in receivers. It is definitely not married to that rifle since it now sits on a different one with no mods needed.
BTW if you like the B&T low mount, take a look at the one from Botach. I have two and they are very nice and secure. Can't beat it for $40 delivered. |

Will this mount fit on a DJ Getz MP5 Navy, MP5K? Will an Aimpoint Comp M4s fit on this mount? |

Picked one up. Really nicely made, Plus its a QD Style mount so it goes on and off the gun super easy. Here is a pic for reference. http://i64.tinypic.com/2qmof92.jpg Visually I think that looks really cool. How is that to shoot though, looks like a cheekweld would be near impossible with the optics being so high? |

Quoted: A buddy of mine started to make prototypes of a solid cowitness mount for the mp5 similar to the b&t. It is such a great mount! Clear full cowitness and super lightweight. Maybe if we had enough interest we would get them going again. http://i60.tinypic.com/2n099fo.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/w1a6x5.jpg That looks great! |
