Looking for an mp5a3

[DFM56]

I need help finding an mp5a3 AEG that comes with an SEF lower or fits this part. One of my fiends got one and it won't fit his G&G, even though it's listed, so I don't really trust the description. The only internals I care about are the chamber, since I'll be throwing money at it until a fusion engine fits inside. Bonus points for a tri-lug flash hider and a hop-up that adjusts through the chamber, not out the side.

 

I don't know anything about mp5s, the last time I was considering buying one was when AE mp5s were still a thing, so I would really appreciate any help I can get. I'm leaning towards the ARC right now, but I can't find one that comes with a collapsible stock, and I don't know if I can get an SEF lower on it.

Have a look for a Classic Army MP5A3, I think that kit should fit it and it also has a 3 lug flash hider (under the massive flash hider) and it has the hop adjustment in the chamber instead.

The CA MP5A3 is probably your best bet like Wild said. They're not too hard to find, I know EHobby has them in stock.

As far as I know ICS and SRC are the only ones with a stamped steel receiver. To me personally that would be more important than whether the SEF lower is a drop in fit or not. I imagine you can fit it on pretty much anything if you modify it, especially since you're going to put in a fusion engine anyway so there won't be a motor to worry about.

 

I found this Russian site with a bunch of pictures of the SRC:

If you scroll down, you'll see pictures of the lower. The gearbox looks like a regular V2, so the selector should work, but the rear of the lower where it hooks under the stock mount is a bit different, not a lot though.

 

I should say that ICS also makes an MP5 with a plastic receiver, avoid that.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've had a hard time finding any solid information about some of these models since it seems like every company has a few generations of mp5s floating around.. WGC has SRCs for a decent price, so I'll probably pick one up soon. Hopefully I can find a retractable stock that can fit it at some point, since they only have the a4.. CA is my next best option, but they're a little bit more money so I'll probably have to look for a used one if I end up doing that.
