reverse stretch mp5

[urbandork]

Just figured id post this up. I recently did a reverse stretch mp5. here are some pix. I had to use half of the bell receiver and half the well receiver. I used jb weld to connect the two peices of the halves once i had everything cut and fitted. After that it was i smoothed out the seam and painted it similar to how one would do body and paint work on a car. Enjoy.

Nice work! although the sliding stock on a "K" is tripping me out.

I quite like it! I'd buy one like that if they were available. Deffo a nicer conversion than the PDWs with UMP stocks.

thanks... the reverse stretch is a common thing in the real steel world. It gives a short platform with a stock with out the bulk of having a side folding stock... or the length of an m4 stock.

yup i thought about a pdw with a ump stock but it wasnt my cup of tea... i also was thinking of just getting a plain jane mp7 from kwa/umarex or that new one from TM but i thought this might be a cooler and more unique project.

i like sliding stocks on Ks. it makes much more sense than a folding stock as the gun is more compact with the stock closed. in a volume way of thinking, not in terms of a silhouette.

 

and instead of "reverse stretch" the word you could use is "shorten" or "chopped" if that's how you meant to use it.

yes this is true but i figured id use the term the mp5 guys in the real steal world use.

 

the hard part of this was the fact that bell decided to leave out/unfinished the whole part of the receiver which usually is covred by the navy/non slim hand guard. This is why i had to use some of the well g55's receiver area rather then just using the parts which the vert grip/k handguard connects to. In the end it worked out and actually ended up giving more surface bonding area between the two parts.

 

my first attempt was actually just with putting a slither stock on to an well g55 but this turn out super bad. First off Well and i assume perhaps even maruzen did not keep a one to one sizing when it came to the grooves that the slither stock would slide into... they where about 1/8 of an inch slimmer/smaller then that on an actual mp5/k. They also did not do a good job when it came to the reinforcement tabs on the back of the k's frame... when ground down, they left a gaping hole far larger then that of the grooves.

 

All in all after making an adapter plate/block for the well g55 and grinding down an ics slither stock i was not happy with the way it looked and thus i dicht the mp5k stretch and started my mp5 reverse stretch using left over parts from the well g55.

Nice original work, me likey.

First time I've come around that term. Kinda weird in my head, thinking like the process involves compressing it to make it shorter or something instead of a chop job. Pretty cool outcome though.
