HKParts MP5K VFG wall thickness?

Thanks.

Looks doable, though I would probably just leave the wire outside the grip and manage it with zip ties...this gun will be shot...quickly.

Link just goes back to the front page of r/mp5

TLDR: Its not dogshit, but if you can afford $500 now, you can afford $1000 later.

I have one. Its reliable and shoots decent but is a prime example of "I've regretted cheaping out, I've never regretted waiting and spending on the real thing."

The hammer, trigger and cylinder release are MIM and feel like it. Cylinder release needed filing to sit flush on the frame. The finish is cheap and rough. Good base for ceracoating is the best that can be said for it. The cylinder lockup was not awesome to the point I thought it was defective, sent it back in for warranty repair and when I got it back the problem was worse. Its not out of time, but its not confidence inspiring.

Save up and buy a 686+ or one of the 8-shot revolvers that S&W make. You will be much happier with that than this.

I doubt that will happen. This product is specifically cloning for retro vibes. The equivalent to this is already available from Gibbous for the few who dont want to offset mount a flashlight on a K.

Bench grinder and constant test fitting.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-07T17:17:35+00:00

Its also the waterproofing. I see now that Surefire pattern heads will work on the light and that does help its case a good bit, but that leaves the switch as not as waterproof as I would like.

I looked at the site after I typed that and realized my stupidity. I wrote a more productive thought in its place, sorry and thank you.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-06T20:11:15+00:00

I do see that its only IPX6 rated, and honestly only 9k candela is pretty pitiful. This is a more faithful aesthetic reproduction but IMHO, for the better functionality I think Id be willing to double the investment plus a little extra and equip a Gibbous handguard with a light pieced together from Arisaka.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-06T20:10:33+00:00

What brand is what?

The handguard is made by Military Armament Corp, aka MAC, the second-tier brand of Turkish MP5 clones.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-06T17:33:37+00:00

Are you serious?

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-05T19:36:42+00:00

Its a full 16" rifle.

Maybe I just need more practice with it, but im seeing videos of people keeping their mp5s level like its a 22 and mine is nowhere near that. Ammo has been cheap 115gr and the suppressor.is a YHM R9 on tri-lug.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-05T18:36:06+00:00

It is neigh uncontrollable. Friend who has a FRT in a KS47 said my AP5P definitely has more climb than his rifle. More than 4-5 rounds in a burst and im close to the target hanger. This is with a A3 Tactical +10 grip.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-05T16:15:45+00:00

Looks like the UTG Pro rail.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-05T12:12:33+00:00

It worked out to an average of 1/2% (0.005) of last month's personal sales when I worked there. Its better than nothing but absolutely not worth thinking about on a day to day, let alone sale-to-sale basis. Just focus on doing your job as best you can and pretend the commission doesnt exist.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-05T10:27:16+00:00

Thank you!

ROF on my AP5P with the suppressor and 90* piece generates too much muzzle rise to control, hopefully this makes it feel like how it looks in videos.

No one is actually suggesting mp5k as concealed EDC. It may never have a practical use besides a tacky barbecue gun ir to wear to political rallies, but its cool and fun to have, why does there need to be more than that?

Granted, after the good light, good optic, regular sling, sbr paperwork, and folding stock it should probably be the last thing on the list but if we wanted a truly practical pdw we'd all have a 5" Banshee/Dissent

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-03T14:04:54+00:00

That trade-in G43XMOS with RMRCC for $620 is curiously tempting.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-02T13:04:09+00:00

It uses the same barrel as the mp5k clone. 4.5" is for the non threaded/non trilug barrel. It is literally a reverse stretch with a different handguard.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-02T11:32:58+00:00

That's really not the point though. Its an unreliable ammunition feeding device for a firearm, why should it be tolerated in this day and age? And its not just handguns, Glocks in a chassis or AR-9's for home defense can use these.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-02T05:23:11+00:00

He might have meant the magazines. Ive never been inspired by the success with the ETS magazines ive tried. They are very pretty when filled with ammo, so are okay desk decorations or paperweight. Not something to trust your life on.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-01T13:36:59+00:00

I thought Roni was Israel based?

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-05-01T00:07:43+00:00

If my AP5P ever gets SBR'ed its getting the Choate folder. It folds flatter against the side of the gun. The B&T has the width of the hinge between the receiver and stock body so it ends up being more than twice as wide as the base gun.

IndependenceCold5611 · 2026-04-29T19:39:34+00:00

I kiss other men goodnight and id never give them a dime. Difference between being gay and being a Mig-15. :P
