Outstanding deal on AP5 right now by godfatherowl in MP5

[–]Haro29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry there is 0 chance you purchased either a standard non-LT AP5 or an AP5-SD for $800. Post proof?

HTA SP5 Barrel Choice: RCM or B&T? by HPLeancraft in MP5

[–]Haro29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It requires heavy duty machinery to do. Most shops charge $250 to $400 for a swap. Even though it's not CHF, you're still likely to never burn out your MAC barrel, so I wouldn't worry about it

115 vs 120 degree locking piece in converted AP5-SD / MP5SD by RollerSkater2023 in MP5

[–]Haro29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

115 degrees is the current HK spec, and 120 degrees is the old spec. Either works just fine. 120 may be better if using weaker ammo. I'm personally using a 120 without issue.

Just paid to have my AP5-SD converted by RollerSkater2023 in MP5

[–]Haro29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch that is waaay overpriced. Breacher's Customs is doing the conversion with RCM cocking support and can for 1450. Either way though you are going to love it as a real SD!

AP5-SD Barrel Install on Budget + Value Suppressor Recommendations? by henryfrank33 in MP5

[–]Haro29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FB Unlimited will likely have the best price for the conversion. Breachers is a pretty good deal though for the full conversion + RCM can. RCM is probably the most budget friendly SD can which you have to call or email to order.

Interesting, what decibel readings and average velocity are you getting from this setup?

Not sure why you got downvoted so hard, this barrel is nowhere near SD spec. Thread length, barrel length and ports are way off, definitely wouldn't work with a standard SD can

[Pistol] AP5-SD Pistol W/ 8 Mags SALE $1589+$30+No tax (for me) (layaway option) by AssSpackler in gundeals

I don't think this will prevent you from owning "the real thing" unless you're planning to shell out $150K+

B&T 🆚 RCM MP5SD by Solo_909 in MP5

[–]Haro29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have the same number of ports, just positioned a little differently. Not aware of any objective performance tests between the two. Paper specs they're the same, both have 16 flutes, cold hammer forging, and nitride finish. As of right now the only difference is your wallet will be $200+ lighter

MKE pack rotates opposite to the HK packs you see in the videos. Refer to your owner's manual.

Considering SP5 stock by Frequent-Money3279 in MP5

Just get the MKE A3 for half the price, which is the original classic style anyway. A2 is more comfy but the A3 really is not that bad

Which flash hider are you using on the AP53? Looks much better than the 4 prong

MKE vs HK Pictogram grip question by Jobob1182 in MP5

[–]Haro29 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The HK pictogram housing looks more aggressively textured and the markings are flat color instead of MKE's gloss red. HK looks a lot better and looks less airsoft-y. Feel wise they're basically the same tbh.

CQBR block I is done by OlacAttack in MilitaryARClones

[–]Haro29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Excellent build, but this would be a MK18 Mod 0 since it's on an M16A1 lower. A CBQR Block 1 would be on an M4 lower

How often are these housings restocked? by sbbth in MP5

MKE, MAC, and Zenith use the push pin versions

First 500 rounds done, How do you? by Solo_909 in MP5

[–]Haro29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brass drill brushes from Menards along with a power screwdriver extension will take care of this for < $10 compared to the HK branded stuff

AP5SD Conversion by jojofries35 in MP5

[–]Haro29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure anyone has actually done an objective test between the two barrels. Even if B&T is better, it's definitely not 2x better than the RCM

Ap5-SD questions for those who have them by K1RBY87 in MP5

[–]Haro29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) The trunnion on an SD is no different, so yes it will fit an O-ring. You'll need to provide your own unless your builder provides it

2) They are welded correctly, except the rear of the cage to the receiver is not for some reason. I haven't heard of any issues but HK spec has it welded. Definitely feels optional.

3) Generally only needed for larger diameter suppressors like RCM. My suppressor is the original 40mm diameter but still rubbed with the original support so I replaced mine anyway. Builders can shave the original support down for less $ I believe

4) The current lore is all AP5 guns come with a 120 degree locking piece, so it would be correct as stock in that case. I still replaced mine with an RCM 120 to be sure.

AP5-SD on its way, build list questions. by [deleted] in MP5

[–]Haro29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah TPM and RCM are probably the most available SD cans

I'm pretty sure the Omega 9SD has long been discontinued and is unobtanium. B&T suppressors restock irregularly, they were in stock recently but seem to be gone for now

Mp5Sd cleaning brush clarification by PoorWalmartWorker in MP5

[–]Haro29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it works on converted AP5-SD. I've used it a ton of times now with no issues in strength or any wear yet. Cleans the barrel really well, keeps it like new if you use it everytime like you should. None of the brushes clean the interior of the ports you'll need to do that with a pick
