1st Commando Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yep ,I fitted one as above 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I own this with 4 mags, however every one of those mags were leaking, and it suffered cool down really badly... when I was in Hong Kong, during summer.... don't have the tools over there to fix anything, but this platform needs to have a fair number of revisiting by VFC.

Break100 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 bbs destroyed, i just fixed it perfectly by filing the each loading ramp edges a bit wider to make sure when a bb pushed by the loading nozzle into the chamber it won't hit the loading ramp's edges. No need to buy a new steel loading ramp (chamber ramp)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Is there a company that is even making steel ramps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirrage Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Question... The only compatible collapsible stock is the VFC one or in another one which can also fit? I have the A2 version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mirrage Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hmmmm....... I am sure VFC's stock is cheaper so I will stop thinking of others... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLuxxx Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 so i just bought this gbb smg and so far loving it. i noticed how the selector switch dosent really feel like it solidly clicks in... kinda mushy. im thinking those precision cnc machined selector axels will fix the problem. has anyone tried and installed those? i already ordered a new nozzle and cylinder as i hear those are the weakest parts. was also going to lightly sand and polish the feed ramp to the hop up.. is there anything im missing to make this gbb smg more reliable?

Finbarqs Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I just don't know why manufacturers make these awesome guns, but don't make them indestructible... I guess it's because they know people will pay for parts to fix them... it's a money hog... I guess that makes the manufacturers the winners of this... And if they make the perfect one, why would they make a newer version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IronWolf Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Looks like VFC have released some CO2 mags for it (47.50 USD @ WGC): http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=special&item=VFC-MAG-MP5G30-BK02&search=special&rs=New%20Release&catid=&cat= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm really thinking about this platform, but from reading this thread, this gun gets neglected A LOT. A lot of fixes, and no updates. First of all, this gun is pretty hard to find in stock anywhere.. .I guess they really are going back to the drawing board to make this work. Second, Did they fix the mechanism so you wont dry fire after the last round? And then, what upgardes do I need to do to get this skirmishable? Actually scratch that last question, what is the BEST internals I can get. Obviously, I would like carbon steel if they made it, but they don't. Is the Cocking lever aluminum or steel? Anyways, I want this gun to be indestructible! I'm pretty familiar with the WA system, and I've got that down pat pretty much. Now the Mp5 has always been a gun I wanted... And that 6mm roll mark on top. Anyone got rid of it? or did everyone just painted over it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirrage Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 The mags I bought came with an extra plastic piece that I had to install. It was the bolt stop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 from what I've read, you can't change the stock for a real stock because of the recoil spring is a different dimension. Is this true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Does anyone know if a steel cocking tube support is made for the Mp5 SD guns? I had one for my Mp5a3, however I now have an Mp5sd3 and the cocking tube supports are incompatible. The problem is I have a steel bolt. so the bolt smashing into the pot metal cocking tube support is causing noticeable damage and I know its only a matter of time before it fails.

BaBaBooey Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 from what I've read, you can't change the stock for a real stock because of the recoil spring is a different dimension. Is this true? No - I have a H&K Stock on mine. You have to shorten the bolt buffer slightly - otherwise it's a drop in fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 How is it running for you guys? can it be 100% reliable yet? Any type of upgrades is a must? Also, anything to fix that selector that can go full 360 from that one german review? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finbarqs Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I really want GHK to make one with their excellent LCT externals... But as it stands, it seems that only VFC secured the license from Umarex... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) It seems I have finally gotten my Mp5 in working order, FINALLY. Ive had it for a year now. So, it seems like after you replace every single internal part with steel, get an aluminum loading nozzle, shim the bolt, and replace the the floating valve, you actually have a damn accurate gun. And I will say that. it is accurate. And its very fun. Was it worth a year of hassle? No. probably not. BTW, For any of you guys who may need to have this thing down to a 350 fps limit, I accomplished that on mine by using the flute valve from a KWA M226. Though I think the KWA flute valves are basically universal. You just need to lightly file the back edge of it a bit to fit it into the loading nozzle. (Though I have an aluminum one, this may not be necessary with a plastic one). The FPS using this is, unfortunately, not very consistent, However at CQB range is doesn't matter much, and oddly, all of my shots were still flying dead straight. So, apparently this gun has a pretty good hopup in it. Edit: Also, for reference, Ive used the gun for the past three nights of airsoft in a row. No failures, no issues. I think I got one or two jams when it had low gas. Edited November 25, 2012 by Brigg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I used the readyfighter restricted flute valve to bring mine down to around 328 on green/propane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
