I purchased my AP5 and AP5P back when Atlantic first started importing them from Turkey. I SBRd them just a few months of ownership. They’re both tack drivers and they’ve been absolutely issue free from the get go. In the last few years I’ve had them set up with a variety of stocks but I think the wood stocks are going to end up being the final configuration.  

The stock on the AP5P is a folder. The one on the AP5 is fixed. They really make the tiny rifles feel solid on the shoulder and they definitely distribute and soften recoil much better. They also offer a fantastic cheek weld, and they look great to boot!

Here’s a few pics ..

The wood make it have such a classic military look. I've contemplated having a guy on FB do me a set for one of my HK's. He makes sets from exotic woods that are very cool looking.

Beautiful!
Built a set for my MP5 from Cetme wood furniture.
Just picked up another Cetme wood set, if you want one buy now price is creeping up.

The stock was purchased at A3 Industries. It comes with the folding mechanism installed.

Hk parts has HK surplus stocks and new ones available. They’re a little pricey as the sell them with the end caps and springs.

Here’s a few photos of my AP5 with a surplus stock. I took the stock off a G3/HK91 end cap and installed it in a HK53 “springless/bufferless” end cap. It fit perfect on the AP5.

@LOS - That light looks like it might get "toasty" from muzzle blast : )  Does the light hold up?

I haven’t fired it with the 628 attached but I’ll bet it’ll roast nicely after a range outing, assuming it even survives. :)

Where did you find the connector between the stock and receiver to mate a wooden stock to an MP5?
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Take one off a surplus G3 stock and trim/re-profile it to remove the forward pin hole area.  Then remove the rifle buffer assembly inside and leave it out.


Or you can skip the modding if you can find an old HK33/93 stock metal end cap.

The stock I found on some importers sight and the endcap was a hk parts buy. There was a thread similar to this one on wood but I can’t find it. Must’ve gone to the archives. There is a lot of play between the cap and receiver and the stock bottomed out a few 32nds shy of flushing out with the back edge of the cap. I wish I thought to check it before I drove it on there. Now I’m not sure there’s any getting it off

Exactly what I did. I also removed the buffer assembly. Hkparts usually has surplus end caps for $28.

Now with RAS!
How well does your surplus end cap fit? I need to get the play out of this one. Also think I might paint it but I kinda like the parkerizing.

Your MP5 looks pretty damn good with the RAS.

The end cap has a little play on my mp5 but I wouldn’t say it’s a loose fit. Still debating If I should take the stock off and install it on my 51.  decisions, decisions..

Thanks!
I’ve been squirreling away parts for a couple years. Only just now got around to the form one. I have a proper drum to put on it too. But wondering if I’d like this open top one better with a red dot on it.
Also, only paint the cap! Not  painting this Fräulein!!

MAC5 converted Cetme wood.

Just got another wood set. Have to figure out if it’s going on the 91 or 93.

It's fascinating how a little wood makes a 3rd gen subgun look so much like a 1st gen.

That's some beautiful anachronism, gentlemen.

 I used a G3 lower for my MP5k, just cut off the back and drilled a new hole.

It looks like for the handguard, you trimmed off the back and reused the front of the CETME wood, is that correct?  Why that instead of the other way around?

It was easier that way. I had to slightly modify the Cetme metal to fit the front push pin. Modifying the front end would have been more work. I’m eventually going to put the rear metal on the handguard but I was impatient.
