I can’t sink any more money into this thing! It is sweet and a sickness for sure. I’ve only had it about 2 months and it’s definitely a lot of fun.

Turning an MP5 into a night fighting gun with a CQBL is a sure sign you've caught the sickness

No way out now.

Nice retro config!

The old 65 lumen 628 didn't have the hexagonal bezel (which was only used on handheld models).

100% probability.

At least the newer Surefire LED forend lights were actually carried on some of the UK police issued MP5s so I do not feel too bad about swapping it out once it arrives.
Yes, no shame.

What optic mount is that on the bottom gun?  That’s the lowest setup for a T1-T2 I have seen.

It’s the battlesteel T1 mount that botach sells.  It’s actually an excellent mount and inexpensive.  I like the newer ones even better as they skeletonize the other side and don’t add their huge white branding all over it.  I ended up having mine blasted and Cerakoted to get it off.  I highly recommend them.

Mine came in today. Ive never owned an mp5 before but i can say that mine, at least to me is flawless. Welds are perfect, the tri lug is perfectly timed, action is very smooth and the mags fit great. Im going to put a few hundred rounds through it later today.

Yep, the b&t brace was worth the money.  It's rock solid.   I just put 200 rounds through it, a lot less recoil than my apc9k.   This thing is amazing

I just picked this up a few hours ago.  First roller gun, looking forward to hitting the range Friday.
I did tear it down and clean and lube it.  Anything else I should be looking for break-in?

Definitely swaying toward the ACR stock and an eform.

Nothing too crazy in terms of break-in, if it's in spec from the factory it should be 100% immediately or in very short order.

Mine had 2 FTE on the first magazine I fired. Spent casing didn't quite make it out of the ejection port. Since then, I can't recall a single malfunction over something like 2-3k rounds and it kicks spent brass into the next county. Keep the carrier, locking piece, etc reasonably wet and these guns will run and run. Highly reliable weapon - and yes SBR it.

It’s the Gearhead Works Brace. I believe the folder mechanism is made by Choate and is actually an OEM part for some HK MP5’s. It’s a solid brace. I’m pretty happy with the setup.

How do you like the magpul lower?

What claw mount is that?

This PTR gets me all tingly!  I’ve wanted an MP5 since I was a boy.

I got to fondle an SP5 the other day. It’s definitely a lot nicer, but this was half the cost.

I’m going to keep it simple. Love the Holosun and the B&T stock is perfect.

I like the Magpul lower. It is definitely an improvement over the lower that came on the AP5. I can’t get over the non traditional look though. There is a very good chance that I will go with a Navy style SEF lower.

The claw mount is an MFI ultra low Profile Mount. I originally had the 507c on an ADM QD mount but the lever hit the side of the claw mount and wouldn’t lock. I do like the current setup because you can use the iron sights through the scalarworks mount.

@m24shooter those are sick! How does the brake work? I'm thinking of putting a chamber brake on my PTR91.

My other clone is like mine from overseas but minus the fun position. Still a fun plinker. Am I the only one who sees those manchester police with the shorter mags and thinks.... what exactly are you planning on doing with that?

@steve-oh
Thanks, the brake works well, but I really put that on there so I could use a can with them. I had an extra brake so that is what got used; everything else was the flash hider. Now as a brake, it makes you unpopular on the line if you don't have the can on (in addition to flinging brass straight down the line). But it works pretty well although with the #17LP on there I've got that working as well. Between the can, the #17, and the heavy buffer the 91 is more an authoritative thump/push when fired, and just fun to shoot. Even without the can.
My MP5 and MP5K clones are absolute blasts to shoot. With subs and the can you can't help but smile. Re: shorties, I keep them mainly for my K gun because it seems to do well getting into or out of a vehicle but that's about it. It also makes mag changes a little easier with the broom handle grip but on a full size gun? Meh. But I guess that's what they have to use at least in some part.
