wicaed Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Seems like an easy job, just taking off the handguard of my mp5a4, making measurements and calculations, drilling the holes, and screwing a rail on there, because I really don't want to spend $50 for the same handguard with just rails on it. Or am I just thinking too easily? something like this: Link to post Share on other sites
dogsuk Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Mate, take a look at this on here: PDI Under Mount Base for MP5 On www.redwolfairsoft.com Should sort out your lower RIS Martin.... Link to post Share on other sites
wicaed Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Ya, Well I already have 3 rail's from my first aeg, g36. They're plastic but they work just fine. But it would be that easy? Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 No, it wouldn't be that easy. Well, the rails would mount on, but then you'd have the screws/bolts/whatever sticking through and interfering with any battery in there. Then you have to problem that the MP5 handguard is slanted, so anyhtng yu mount will be at one heck of an angle. IE, A laser will point about 3 metres to the right of someone at a range of about 3 metres. Link to post Share on other sites

The Gopher Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Perhaps you could be looking to reduce the handgrip creak (poor mounting) of the stock handgrip? I was looking for a RIS foward handgrip that could NOT hold a battery. Why? All the battery-capable ones are too big for my tastes. Just wondering, are there any non-battery-holding replacement forward handgrips with RIS rails on them? /half thread hijack Link to post Share on other sites
Melonfish Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 putting rails on an mp5 grip? piece of cake my friend. you will need the following. nuts. bolts washers. rails mp5 hand grip dremmel marking device (pencil) measuring device (ruler) IQ over 85. Place rails where you want them and mark of with marking device. drill holes after measuring width of drill bit against said rails. mount rail to handguard using bolts/washers/nuts (try to get the flattest nuts you can *stop sniggering*) use dremmel to cut the excess bolt off from the inside leaving you room to A mount it back on your weapon and B put a batt in there. i'ts been done and it does work. you might want to make sure however that you line up your rails properly with the barrel of your gun. i.e. mark em off when the grip is on your gun, you don't want a 40 degree angle on them. pete Link to post Share on other sites
Melonfish Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 sorry for the DP but check out item number PDI-MPR on zerooneairsoft.co.uk this is designed directly to attach to the regular MP5 handguard. pete Link to post Share on other sites
