Quote HistoryQuoted: Dang, I was scared of an hk build because I suck at welding. That doesn't look so bad. The bending jig looks awesome too. Way easier than AK flats. Is the jig crazy expensive? This particular one bent pretty easily My 53 took days of massaging to get it to accept a carrier and brace The hard part beyond that is making them look nice. Something Im still going to struggle with as Im not using the correct welder nor do I have the experience with welding to make them look as nice as the custom offerings out there. |

Good job OP!
I only wished I had seen this before you ordered your flat. I would have advised you to order 2 full sized, and 2 "K" flats. This way if you mess one up, you have a back up right there. And if you are successful, I have helped you spend four times as much money, as you have 3 more kits to buy and build. |

My department is looking at trading in all of our MP5 inventory, to include two SD models. I asked what the plans were, and they said the weapons were worth more cut into parts kits. That'll be 14 standard (12 navy and 2 full auto) and 2 SD (full auto) MP5's getting sliced and diced and resold onto the private market.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just out of curiosity, did you read a thread somewhere about this? I'd like to do it as I'm a DIY person but I would really like know how to ensure its legal and I take the proper steps. I'm working on my SOT so I might do one F/A in the future but in the meantime it would be semi. Not exactly accurate to a MP5 build, but its similar. The biggest things on legality is making sure you dont create a NFA item that's unregistered. So either get your form 1 first or build it as a pistol with a brace or a end cap. The next thing is the auto components. Obviously you have to modify the pack to kill these functions. Then you must also weld in the semi shelf that blocks auto packs from being dropped in |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got it, thanks you. The biggest difference between the two other than the pack is the semi shelf, which blocks where the pin hole for the front of the lower attaches. I would say it could be ground off and you could install the bushing for the hole, but it would be a lot easier just to build auto than to convert later |

I went and looked at some parts kits. It's tempting, except for tool expense. I bought tools to build aks back in the day, because kits were cheap, and my stepdad and I built some. I'd probably be the only person I know who would build one.
Does the silencer attach in a way that you could build a dummy can or a form 1 can to work on it? I'm thinking way too much about this. I told myself wizard eyes were the next toy purchase. Lol |
