Very easy to doI know I've posted this before.. but a wooden Mp5 would make me very happy
When you do a few a month it becomes an hours work
mainly just shaving bits down with a dremmel and some strong glue

AND now I’ve full on pissed my self ! ?
being a grumpy old git who carried a wood furniture SLR for a while they just look absolutely beautiful to me , and L3 you are most definitely correct the wood MP5 is just the dogs dangling things ! Only thing that would make it look better would be straight mags , but there like hens teeth !
Joking aside mate you do put together some amazing looking H&K’s .

Thanks!
you can get straight mags for the MP5 but they have a more modern look to them like the UMP rather than the waffle ones we really want

the f2000 for me, first gun and i'll always love it. atm i'm on a policy of not selling guns, because it's a lost economy.

I’ve never really gone in for the whole “gotta sell a gun to get a new gun” (unless I really have too , as in no spare cash so gotta sell the kit to be ABLE to by the new one ! ?) as I’m of the opinion you’ll never get a true value selling price unless A you’ve got something rare or B you know of someone who desperately wants a type Z gun and you have one you could sell .
In a word , splurge !
If they do come on the market then I’ll be all over them like a tramp on a dropped Kebab on a Friday night !

I beg of you don’t.. the mag well tolerance is terrible so the firing pin doesn’t align with the valve on the mag properly. One shot 400 FPS, next shot 300fps, next shot 370fps... it call be shimmed and fettled if you know what your doing, but out of the box it’s dire. Shame because it kicks like a mule.
i brought the "collectors edition" which for some reason hasnt had much advertisment and seems hard/rare to find, it has a steel machined reciever unlike the other models which are ally , shooting it sounds and feels amazing! the best gbbr feeling i think there is! , has a really nice kick which is actually off putting when watching/tracking your bb's down the scope , the wood furniture imo is terrible ,in the sense that its not ply wood and has a wierd venier like finish which is too perfect! more suited to cabinets and coffee tables , might aswell be plastic if im honest , the good thing is WE actually did a really good job in copying the gun itself , the front hand gaurd is a direct swap for the real one! the real stock takes a little wood working to fit and even the main stock bolt hole lines up , also a cool little feature is the gas tube/rod actually protrudes into the bolt carrier by 5mm or so , when the bolt travels forward it hits the gas rod and operates the gas piston at the front , pretty cool little detail but if you have seen any videos of it shooting , you can hear a tinny echo noise at the end of the shots , that is the bolt carrier hitting that rod and echoing through the bolt carrier , cut off that part of the rod so it doesnt make contact removes that noise which makes it sound even better!!, iv also got the real pso-1 scope which has the I.R detect lense, pretty sweet looking down it knowing its the real deal!! and also has the serial number of the gun it used to be on engraved on the mount and the real stock also has a serial number too , iv given the gun the worn look and with scope fitted it looks like a real svd!! or the very least deactivated , literaly the best looking airsoft gun iv ever had and probably will ever have, only downside right now is the accuracy is bad , just waiting on maple leaf crazy jet barrel and maple leaf bucking which should sort it out , iv cleaned off any silicone contamination on the bucking/barrel and polished the barrel with no change , inner barrel is slightly bent , can see it when you roll it on a level surface which isnt good! , could also be silicone oil comming out of the mags when you shoot and contaminating the hop rubber as there new mags they probably have a load in there from the factory to keep the o-rings in good shape as the gun is brand new and has fired less then 200 shots so isnt bed in at all but im giving you the out the box opinion , once the accuracy issue is sorted then it will be an absolute beast! , jesus this is more of a review lol , ill get some pics up soon ...
i cant speak for the ally bodied verisons but this isnt an issue on the steel bodied version {collectors edition} , mag is tight with zero wobble
,one of the first things i checked as i heard about that issue..also got to bare in mind this gun has been out a few years now so that issue might have been sorted out by now altogether? ..

My pair of Maruzen Scorpions.
They were indestructible and huge performers. One has a long TB going through it and an SVD wood stock. God knows where in the UK that is now.

In serious need of wood. Good strong German wood
I sent you a PM about it.
Wouldn't part with this bad boy. Love it.
