saving some money for an mp5k clone, would you recommend building one out of parts or should i just buy a clone? How hard is it if you've never done any welding or bending and considering im pretty good with dyi stuff You have to build several for it to be economically viable. The benefit really is you're building guns with all German parts for the price of a clone with American parts. |

But I could do the same with the one I have right now. Im trying to salvage the inner sleeve to make it easier to weld ETA, that one is also a rifle cocking tube |

I also got the mag catch in last night.
I did forget to order the special bushing and pin for the paddle mag, so Ill get that coming. But that's a easy mod The mag lip on the left side seems to be rubbing on the bolt a little bit. Not much. But it does drag. Not sure what to make of that just yet. It may not even be a issue. Im not sure if going back in and widening the slot a bit may alleviate that. As is the mag locks in tight. |

OP is one of my heroes for doing this. I have wanted to do one of these since I read that Small Arms Review article that showed how to do this. Have some friends who are interested too, so maybe we can split the cost of tooling when its fo time.

Considering I have a permanent reminder of my 53 build every time I look down at my hand, I really love that thing. I really need to finish cleaning up the welds on that thing |
