Last time The Firearm Blog wrote about Heckler & Koch’s Gray Room we stated we cannot get enough. I for sure can’t either, yet I’ve never been there and probably never will see it, just like most mortals. I own a Heckler & Koch rifle (MR223), [Read More…]
Those who own MP5 or variants roller delayed guns may go through a decision process regarding sights and optics. Stay with the classic drum sights, add a claw mounted rail, or have a builder weld on a rail section for optics mounting. But because of the side charging [Read More…]
Last year I posted about Dave and his beautifully restored Zundapp KS750. Click here to check out the article. Back then I had mentioned to Dave that my friend Scott has a working post sample MG34 and that we should get them together so that we can have a working [Read More…]
At just under 38 Dollar this looks like a great upgrade. Unfortunately I don’t own an MP5, but if I did… It works with HK firearms like the G3, HK91, HK33, 53, 93 and the MP5 and MP5Ks (full list below). It works with all semi & full auto trigger packs, [Read More…]
I have been intrigued by billet aluminum AR grips for a while but haven’t gotten around to getting one for myself. I saw them on some slick 3Gun race guns and they do look cool. Especially when anodized to match a race gun. So when the opportunity arose to review [Read More…]
I know that this defeats the purpose of being discreet and it is not subtle at all. But that isn’t the point. As far as I can tell I have not found another example of someone suppressing an MP5K H&K Briefcase. Sure the M11 briefcases allow for a suppressor [Read More…]
There are few things that I want these days that I actually need. MP5K? Sure I want it, but only in my twisted brain could I actually find a need for a compact roller locker. However the Tactical Solutions holster for the Ruger MKI, II, II, IV, 22/45 and PAC-LITE [Read More…]
BCB International is a British company manufacturing a huge variety of military and police products. One of their latest products is a rifle stock called FRAMM which was first introduced during the DSEI 2017 arms exhibition. The stock allows shouldering and aiming the [Read More…]
Thanks to this blog I’ve heard of the KGB Rectal gun (the comments are hilarious), but KGB’s “Escort Operational briefcase” is new to me. It shares some similarities with the HK MP5K Operational Briefcase which I think all firearms afficionados [Read More…]
NFASales.com is selling a transferable Mac-11 in .380 acp and it comes with a working briefcase. We all know of the H&K briefcase for the MP5K well there is one for the MAC-11. It is not quite the same as the H&K briefcase though. The H&K briefcase uses a [Read More…]
I have no idea what’s going on in this image – for all I know the Portuguese Air Force is trolling the entire world. Originally posted on the PAF Facebook page in early August, I came across it on TFB reader ‘Southwood’s’ (@southwood_) [Read More…]
Earlier this year US SOCOM submitted an RFI for a new PDW. Nathaniel F. wrote an article about it back in March. PDW Kit specifics: The kit must be adaptable to the standard M4A1 lower receiver, any modification to the lower receiver must be reversible and nonpermanent. [Read More…]
Weak or fatigued extractor springs can effect proper case removal in the Heckler and Koch MP5/roller lock rifle platforms. And the only real remedy is to have several spares on hand in case the installed spring starts to go south. However, Moore Advanced Dynamics (MAD) [Read More…]
Here is a picture for #MP5Monday. Photo credit to @Leaspeed6. The photo has her BMW M4 and MP5K PDW. Pretty nice setup on the MP5, the M4 isn’t to shabby either. The MP5K appears to be running the Dakota tactical MLOK rail, which explains the vertical grip and [Read More…]
Wisconsin-based firearms accessory manufacturer Midwest Industries just rolled out a new product that should grab the attention of H&K MP5 and clone owners looking to mount lights, vertical foregrips and other accessories. The new forends will fit full size MP5s [Read More…]
Over a year into the transfer process of my TPM Outfitters MP5SD, I have yet to start stock piling magazines. For one, H&K magazines aren’t the most affordable on the market and two there are a couple of polymer options in the works that I am hoping to review [Read More…]
I stumbled across this oddity. It is a Glock 21 with an odd looking muzzle brake and an H&K styled vertical grip typically seen on an MP5K. While I have seen some people try to add a vertical grip onto a Glock before, this one is different. It appears there is a [Read More…]
Ok, that headline about the Dead Air Casper is slightly dishonest – fake TFB news! Unless I missed the real announcement, Dead Air Armament is not actually releasing a new micro silencer. Although I could see the Pappas/Hughes/Magee team coming up with a similar [Read More…]
Agonizing over the extended wait time of the transfer of an MP5SD from TPM Outfitters has been a test of patience. Although I am excited to write the review, the yearlong wait is painful. I know, I know – First World problems. For those customers in the US who [Read More…]
Independant Studio Services aka ISS Weapons posted a picture of a rare MP7 Deployment briefcase. I have not found any information on this if it is an actual H&K product like the original MP5K briefcase which you can see Rusty’s lightning review here. The MP5K [Read More…]
Spuhr is bringing in their HK collapsing stock. It has been used by Swedish Home Guard. As you can see above, there is one for a G3 and below is one for an MP5K. The stock rides on a short custom buffer tube. The stock has a non sliding cheek rest that they are going [Read More…]
SB Tactical, the inventor and manufacturer of the original “Sig Arm Brace” has debuted their latest arm brace for the H&K MP5 platform. The new SBT5K is a side-folding brace for the MP5 platform modeled after the original side-folding real-steel stocks. [Read More…]
Who doesn’t love pistol caliber carbines? They are a lot of fun and @Steve_mp5 looks like he has a wonderful case full of fun. He has a KRISS Vector 9mm. You can tell based on the magazines and drum mag. Then he has an MP5K with folding B&T stock. There is a [Read More…]
TFB has written several articles about the H&K SP5K, and it’s easy to understand why. We reported about it when it was released officially at IWA in Germany earlier this year. It is now available in the USA according to H&K. The new SP5K was developed by [Read More…]
Over the past few weeks, TFB has reported several news stories related to the Heckler & Koch (H&K) MP5 platform. From H&K’s announcement of the SP5K (an MP5K semiautomatic pistol) to the U.S. market to Zenith/MKE developing an MP5SD model to add their [Read More…]
After reading our founder’s article, “What would you buy, if there were no restrictions whatsoever”, I’ve really thought a lot about one of his questions: Would Glock start designing fully automatic machine pistols? Would people start buying [Read More…]
Zahal shows how easy it is to install the Fab Defense Makarov grip. The most interesting feature is the thumb magazine release. Kinda like the trigger of the MP5K briefcase, the thumb release on this grip actuates a transfer bar that moves the heel mag release. I hope [Read More…]
Good news if you live in Germany, and some other European countries. If you live in the US I suppose these will continue to be made in unobtanium, but you’re always welcome to comment below how much you would like them. As I approached the H&K stand at IWA [Read More…]
For the Swiss B&T APC-9/45 semi-automatic carbines and B&T APC223/300 semi-auto rifles there are multiple shoulder stocks available. It seems the swiss never run out of ideas to produce. If you’re unfamiliar with the B&T APC it can be described as a [Read More…]
In Part I and Part II of the TFB Weight Omnibus, we published the weights of 58 rifles and submachine guns, and their magazines. Now, we’re going to take a look at that data, and do a little analysis to them to see what we can learn. First, my methodology when [Read More…]
