I ordered a second one for my 91, and now I will probably order a third and mod that one to fit my 9KT. I know there will be some metal to cut at the tail, and my concern was if there was going to be enough molding left over to still keep things attached on the grip itself. I need to spend a little more time on it.

I need to spend a little more time on it. The HK "K" lower is basically a modified full size lower anyways. So there shouldn't be any issues cutting off the excess metal on the back then drilling holes for the pin on the Magpul lower. I actually have it all set to modify, just need the time to make sure it's good to go and actually do it. I want to re-measure everything, especially the hole placement on the lower just to be safe. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZgunner: For MP5 clones (full size, not K) what are everyone's favorite lowers? I'm still pretty new to the platform and am trying to sort through the myriad of options. The one thing I don't like about my PTR 9CT is the pistol grip. It's... not great, to be kind. Also, the safety selector could be a bit better. I've been eyeballing the Magpul lower and safety, but was curious what you guys think of some of the different options available. Ergonomically and aesthetically, what should I be looking at for my PTR?  Attached File |

So the Magpul will work on a PTR 9CT? Does anyone know if any German HK metal lower housings will work as well? Is there a "better" housing to get?

My contribution. The G3 is an early Century that I've had for 16 years. Most of the guts are stamped HK and it has a Green Mountain barrel. Surprisingly accurate. I threaded the barrel years ago and installed a YHM flash suppressor, but just recently installed the HK-type.
After a few years of having it, I kept reading about what garbage the Century G3s were and how unreliably they performed, so I bought 500 rounds of the worst ammo I could find at the time, Pakistani surplus, from Classic. This stuff was so bad, some of the primers were installed sideways or backwards. It's a wonder they didn't detonate, but it was dirt cheap. Some of the projectiles were crooked. After screening and throwing away the worst ammo, I tried all sorts of combinations with Paki ammo alone, and mixed with Russian, South African surplus, and US-made ammo but never had a malfunction. I paid under $400 in 2004 and have had no problems, so why get rid of it? The MP5 is from PTR. It's bone stock, except for the brace, but I'd like to eventually get a Franklin Armory trigger for it.

Mine never had an attachment on the barrel as it was actually unthreaded, so once the ban ended, I figured - why not thread it? The taper was too much to go with the 15mm HK, but there was enough steel to cut a 1/2x28, so that's what I did. I used an YHM FS originally meant for 5.56 and drilled it out for a .30 projectile. At that time, I don't believe there were a lot of choices for attachments anyway. Only recently did I find the current FS from HKParts.net, which mimics the original style, fits on 1/2x28 and can accommodate any size projectile up to 9mm. |

The .22 clones count? I can play there too. This is one of the Walther G36 .22 rifles. Currently wearing a real full-length G36 handguard, a cheap Sig 55x clone flash hider, and one of the old Ops Inc metal rails. That rail was a total bitch to install.
 I also messed around a bit with airsoft accessories, like stocks and other carry handles. Total waste of time and money, don't bother. I need to get the shorter G36C stock and swap it for that long monster that it has. Shoots pretty nice otherwise though. Finally got the rest of the parts for my Omega UMP build yesterday. Planning to do the eForm today. The UMP is definitely lightweight, but handling it has a "chonky" feel, not as smooth as the heavier MP5. The design is like the bastard child of an MP5, an AR 9mm, and a G36. Can see why they weren't the runaway success HK hoped for.  That said, I'm glad this one is mine, back 20 years ago I never would have believed a UMP pistol clone -> SBR project would be possible. Yes, I use crappy Amazon optics on my toys. Maybe someday I can afford to put an Aimpoint T1 or Holosun whatever on every gun, but for now, cheap red dot is better than no red dot.

While uncertain (still) about the essence of this as a clone (it's another .22LR) at least this one has HK's logo - made by Walther in the "fatherland".
I modified this one so it could receive the real Hensoldt Dual Optic (I have two; The other one is sitting on the Rifle above) and I decided to add to this one of the IDZ Stock - A real one this time.I also got rid of the airsoft one above on the other rifle. Much likely I'm going to cut and pin this barrel as well, I just like the K version more.  Attached File |

Did you preorder from Atlantic back then? Thats where mine originally came from and yea, probably that 03-05 range. |
