So I was having a problem with my MP5K that RDTS built with the cocking handle be just shy of locking in the notch. After trying to figure it out over the phone & e-mails I sent it in to Ralph. Turns out I had a patch in the cocking tube that was the problem. Well like my grandfather use to say "there's 2 ways of learning thing the easy way & the hard way. It's a shame we tend to learn most of it the hard way.

You cleaned the wrong barrel!  Be glad it was a simple problem and not something else. Even HK clones are an expensive endeavor... |

Well, at least that was all it was. Bet you won't do that again.  I can't say I wont be putting patches into the cocking tube again to clean & oil it, but I will damned sure check it with a light to be sure I got them all out! Hopefully everyone can learn something from my mistake.

Couldn't pull the op rod all the way back, and tried everything I could think of, ending up sending it to Smith Ent, where they found a petrified cleaning patch jammed into the end of it. Glad it was something cheap and easy to fix. |
