MP5 Battery movement

[YounG ChristoV]

OK. Im moving the battery on this CA MP5A2 cos im fed up with the solid stock. im replacing with a slider but so far, i cant get into the gun to move any cables. i can get the stock and foregrip off but im then stuck with a sealed reciever and grip with nothing to undo or loosen. Do i realy have to crack the gun open to just move a cable cos i cant see anything more to take off...

 

Edit: this isnt the same gun i am selling.

Y'know ive seen 2 or 3 threads on this over the weekend.

 

yes you have to take it apart to route it to the front, or you could just use a battery sling.
