Barrel adaptor for moderator for Umarex/HK MP5
Hi all.. those of you that have the Umarex/HK MP5... has anyone tried the barrel adaptors like these:
https://www.daileisure.co.uk/Moderator- ... 6-half-UNF
One advert I found somewhere else mentioned the MP5, but to be honest I've no idea if/how they would fit.
I'd love to moderate the MP5, but I'm not sure theres an easy way..?
Any ideas..??
TIA
Daryll.

I made one for an airsoft moderator. depends what the front end of your mp5 looks like

Re: Barrel adaptor for moderator for Umarex/HK MP5
The adapter linked is for the AR rifles they made, not the MP5 (any version).
The only way to get a moderator on is to have the fake muzzle brake machined/threaded. At least two people on here have done it and there is a thread somewhere showing it.
I wanted to get a spare fake muzzle brake before attempting it myself in case A it went wrong and B so I could switch back if I wanted to. Sadly despite the my and 3 RFD's best efforts the UK importer and even the Walther factory couldn't grasp what I was after, even after sending photos and detailed descriptions. Where the UK only fake muzzle brakes came from is still a mystery. Given that the guns are now no longer in production, aside from having your own made (£££), it would now be an impossible task.

There's an active Facebook group called Swift Precision Rifles which had posts by a Richard Pope yesterday. IIRC i think the cost was between £100-150

Missed the editing window. The guys contact details are in the thread I linked and the cost back then was only £50!

I modified a standard 'flash hider' to fit a Wildcat moderator to the MP5. Works well and looks good.
I'll dig out some pics if you're interested
