Due to the giant light/optic used on MP5s back in the day, I decided to modernize the concept a bit. If you recall I posted about the MP5 that TPM Outfitters have come across with an old Hensoldt light/optic. Well now that it is 20-30 years later we can certainly [Read More…]
The Heckler & Koch SP5K is the closest thing to a real MP5K that an everyday citizen like us is able to get. This episode of TFB TV Patrick takes the iconic pistol out to the range and has way too much fun. The SP5K is almost identical to the MP5K that we all know […] Read More [Read More…]
Tom Bostic made this MP5SD for a friend. His friend already had an MP5SD in .40 cal so he wanted something a little different. I rarely build Roller locks but a buddy of mine wanted something that looked like it it should be in some futuristic space movie. He already [Read More…]
TPM Outfitters recently came across a 1980’s Hensoldt light. Old school HK optic made by Hensoldt that projects light with a crosshair in the beam. It runs on 5 C batteries and weighs as much as the MP5 itself. Back in the day SAS ran Maglite flashlights ontop of [Read More…]

Mark Serbu, his daughter and Vlogger Dan go up in what looks like a Cessna, fly out somewhere over the ocean and shoot a full auto MP5 out of the plane. I am not that well versed with FAA laws but generally you cannot discharge a firearm from an airplane. However if [Read More…]
The long awaited Spuhr stock assembly for the G3/MP5/HK33/53 is now finally available. I tried a fully working prototype during the summer, mounted to the AK4 (HK G3), including the Spuhr hand guard and an Aimpoint. It made the G3 very controllable. The part number is [Read More…]

Quarter Circle 10, the Pistol Caliber AR company has made a name for themselves with their Glock mag fed ARs. Now they have made a lower that can use MP5 magazines. With ETS making MP5 magazines, I think these will be a hit. They also have a different side charger on [Read More…]

As I (im)patiently wait for ATF approval of my TPM Outfitters MP5-SD, I am already on the hunt for accessories and upgrades. I’m pretty familiar with the standard H&K collapsible stock, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best option out there. B&T [Read More…]

Saw this posted on Facebook. To the props/weapons master: You had one job. Now to be fair the actress or possibly extra might have been directed to do a mag change and clearly does not know how an MP5 is supposed to work or its magazine. Someone thought this might be [Read More…]

An interesting compatibility of parts. Brian B. built this cool SBR. First he started with just a SBR and a barrel extension. Then he got his preferred can. I was a bit confused as to how the MP5SD handguard was attached to the AR upper receiver. Turns out it is [Read More…]
