If I buy an F stock, will it fit the A3 back plate?
|
|
|
Maybe they're doing batch runs.
Or they just get so few each time as mentioned... |

I just received mine, it’s really nice! Noticeably better quality than the MKE stock I got a couple of months ago.

I'm fairly certain MKE used '33' buttstocks (metal backplates and concave buttpads) for their MP5s.

Yeah I thought it was odd, it needed a signature. But whatever.
Played with it last night. Way better quality than I had expected. Now I've never messed with a genuine H&K a3 so I don't have a point of comparison, but this one locks up tight with virtually zero wiggle side to side. Looks great and the finish is even. Had to open and close it a few dozen times to break in and now it's smooth. Overall very happy with it and worth the price to me. Always wanted an A3 stock for that iconic look. All that being said, you guys weren't joking about the A2 being the better stock of the two. WAY more comfortable and easier to get a sight picture than the A3. Nice to have optioms though. |

The credit card companies require a signature or they will side with the fraudster on the chargeback . It sucks but it is the current state of what we have to deal with at this time . |

Correct me if I'm wrong. But in Diehard the MP5 which was used was not really an MP5. It was an HK94 cut down to be made to look like an MP5. Hence it does not have a magazine paddle release, nor a three lug adapter on the muzzle. If that's the case in DieHard is the stock that is being used a A3 or is it a slightly different stock for the HK94. If I recall the 94 uses a different stock than the MP5, correct?

Stock available now!

|
|

I wonder how long they will stay in stock this time?!
(Pun intended) |
|
|
Still there - perhaps the overall supply is catching up with demand. I got one last year, so no need for me to get another.
The HK33 stock is tempting, if those are ever imported from MKE. |

Right now, I’m a little disappointed in the slight up and down wiggle with the trigger assembly on this HK. Doesn’t happen on my AP’s, but they do have the push pin front. |

Still in stock a week later. Guessing the price has finally caught up with demand with the stock being 1/3rd the price of the core pistol.
Mine is absurdly tight. Both to install and to collapse and extend the stock. I see paint chipping and rubbing off the gun and stock so I hope it loosens up a bit but still seems retardedly tight to me. I knew going in that these weren't going to be anywhere near practical when compared to the weight and comfort of other stocks but had to have it for the looks. I really don't think it should require a rubber mallet to collapse it and tied off with a tow strap between a live oak and my truck to extend it. |

My only gripe is that some of the molding on the buttpad over hangs and is very sharp. I'll have to hit it with an razor blade

Not current batch This. Too much paint on the inner arm rails (the part that rides in the channels on the gun) on the MKE A3's. I actually wet sanded the inner rails to remove some paint as it's pretty thick. Factory HK A3 stock inner arm rails are not painted. |

Mine is extremely tight to get the end cap over the receiver. I haven’t been able to get it on yet. Not sure how much I want to force it because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get it back off.

@ATLANTIC-FIREARMS
I think you got a batch of stocks that are out of spec - and I'm not even getting to the point of seeing how the innter arm rails fit, as the cap won't go on. I have two MKE AP5's - one of the very early ones imported by Zenith as well as one of the later ones imported by Century - both Turkish MKE's. This stock doesn't go on either of them. The end cap appears out of spec. I even tried it on my MP5SD as well and it would not fit. It's not "thick paint". This is the end cap not aligning properly. |

A little googling came up with multiple posts within the past day on Reddit about these being too tight. It's obvious someone went and fucked around with the recipe.
I just received my MKE A3 stock from the latest Atlantic drop last night, and have a few questions. After I got the stock on my AP5, which was a tight fit, it seems like the stock itself is incredibly hard to extend and retract. I had to use my rubber mallet to get the stock to move back and forth, which to me doesn't feel right. Is there any way to loosen these things up or do I just need to mess with it more and break it in? Also, the paddle that locks the stock into place is canted to the side. In all the photos I've seen of other A3 stocks it looks as if they should be perfectly vertical. Is there any way to adjust the paddle? Any help or insight would be appreciated! View Quote I popped mine on my POF (got it today too like many.) It was TIGHT and also really hard to retract/extract. I put a little oil on the contact parts then JACKED IT LIKE I JUST GOT THE INTERNET BABY! I mean I just sat there cranking that hog ...stock. It wore in a bit and now it's decent. Not super tough, not so slick it just drops. No major marring or anything. But also I'm more of an "AK guy" (I fucking hate that term) and I'm used to way worse on fitment and scrapes/marring etc. View Quote I had similar issues. Just have to work it in. Slam it shut, open repeat. Took a while for lockup to be achieved. Now it slides out with gravity. And I think the paddle being canted is ok. View Quote This is what I was asking about the other after I received mine.it is supper tight. It didn't want to scratch up the finish on the AP5 yet, lol. Might do a little buffing and / or sanding on the stock bars View Quote Mine arrived with a bent arm and is useless, also the arms are canted in the cap a few degrees. View Quote I'm glad to see that my A3 wasn't the only one whose finish just immediately wore off from opening and closing it a few times. View Quote Same here. I was pissed at first, but it kinda is what it is. Lol View Quote Same. Just installed mine and put a ton of clp on the rails and still wore off the paint and required a rubber hammer to install on AP5 View Quote Correction: after attempting to install this stock the pin holes are too small and the pin will not fit, therefore I am unable to install this stock. Just received my MKE A3 Stock in the mail from Atlantic firearms. Packaging was top notch from Atlantic firearms The A3 stock from MKE imported by Century Arms is above my expectations. The finish is excellent. The fit and function is strong and has tight lockup just like my KES Stock that I used before selling it off for the A3. It sells for $359 and I don’t regret spending that much on a stock. I own a B&T MP5k telescopic stock and a B&T APC9K telescopic stock that was more expensive than the MKE A3 and both stock are right on par with each other. All in all I recommend this A3 to anyone in the market for a stock Here is a link to photos View Quote Just got my MKE stock today. Mine is definitely stiff. Easier to pull out, but pushing the stock back in it is really stiff. View Quote |

Trying to get it on with the stock extended didn't work at all. That’s the same problem I’m having. It’s not the rails, in fact with the stock collapsed those slide nicely into the channel on the receiver. It’s the end cap that literally runs into the back of the receiver. I don’t want to hammer on my AP5 or SP5 receivers trying to force it on. Pretty disappointed, this is the second time I’ve had an out of spec MKE A3 stock. I ordered one from the very first batch that sold out in minutes and that one wouldn’t latch in the closed position. Atlantic was great and took it back but couldn’t replace it as they had sold out. Now this one has an out of spec end cap. I think I’m going to have to suck it up and drop the money for an HK A3 stock. |

Edited….see my post in Page 3.

The end cap scraped the paint off of mine in a few opening and closing cycles. It’s very tight as well.
