MP5 Pistol

[programmatore]

I picked up my Dakota Tactical D54P-N (MP5-N clone) the other day. I had it transferred to NOVA Armament from a dealer in Pennsylvania. For those considering getting an MP5 clone, I highly recommend Dakota Tactical's builds. I bought mine used (about 100 rounds through it) but they have new ones on HKParts.net (http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK-MP5-N ... 0p2070.htm.) They cost a bit more than other clones but the build quality is top notch and second only to H&K 94 rifle conversions that cost twice as much!

I submitted the Form 1 for an SBR conversion yesterday. Hopefully the guys on Capitol Hill can pass a budget and prevent a government shutdown -- I don't want my paperwork to be put on hold!

Anyway, here are the requisite pictures. I was trying on different forearm options. Once I get the Form 1 back I will try different stock options as well.

The pistol came with a slim forearm. It looks kind of neat -- a bit retro -- but it wasn't for me.


I really like the Surefire 628 forearm but it felt a bit heavy on a pistol. Once I convert it to a SBR I might go back to the Surefire.


Here is the classic black, wide forearm. I really like this one.


I finally settled on an olive drab green, wide forearm just to be different. I think it really works. I can't wait to get my Form 1 back so I can put on the matching OD green stock.

Did you take those pictures?

Did you take those pictures?

Yes sir. Taken with my trusty old Nikon.

If we're voting here on forearms, I say go classic. You can't beat a classic. The olive green is definitely different though. Kind of reminds me of a vietnam era weapon. Nice gun!

Very nice, what did you use for the background?

I just laid some "bright white" poster paper on my dining table and took pictures of the pistol using a flash gun bounced off the ceiling. I adjusted the exposure in Photoshop to get the white background really white.

Are these sear-ready? Blocking bars installed or any of that nonsense?

Nice Hot Rod!!

Yes, they are full-auto sear-ready. No carrier blocking bars. A few of the guys on HKPro.net have videos up of their guns firing 3-round bursts and full mag dumps. One of these days I'll have to get a registered sear!
