So i went to a chap called Richard Pope of Swift Precision Rifles and he came up with a perfect solution to moderate the 12" HK MP5 barrel whilst still being able to tension it. He makes the adaptors in house and machines the original shroud.
It works a treat and I also have an over barrel moderator coming shortly which will make the old MP look pretty stunning.
I have added pictures of the work Richard was able to do for me.
Questions;
Can you supply Richards contact details please (PM if not publically known)
Do you think a 'blank' cap would be possible as well for when you don't want to use the threaded adaptor?
How much....

I've got a thread protector on mine that I got off Evilbay. He charged me £50 and did it while I waited. It definitely hasn't affected accuracy. His number is 07739 689871 and he's is Bromsgrove. Worcestershire. I'm sure he wont mind anyone having his number as he is hoping to do a few of them. He may even do them on a mail order basis as its only a barrel shroud not a barrel. Mind you I'd be p*** if the post office lost mine in transit...
I have added a photo of mine with the cap on and one with one of his Swift Stubby Cans on. (1/2" x 20 UNF)

This is the MP5 with an over barrel moderator on...It over barrels about 55mm from the shoulder. It would of been nice if it could of been nearer 75mm...but I still think it looks cool...Let me know what you think...

Oh I wondered about one of those, had one on my P90 clone. Looks great, I’d have liked a thinner more “knights” dimpled can for the perfect look but I think that wildcat looks great.
Having mine done on Thursday :)

Looks cool though.. clapclap

I’ll be happy to oblige
Took it out today to confirm it shoots straight, had a blast with it. Great rifle, can’t understand why they stopped importing them, do they still make them?

AFAIK H&K withdrew the license for them to be made by Walther in Europe, I think they're still being made in the US though.
Strange how your fake muzzle brake is different to the ones I've seen/mine, there's no knurling on the part closest to the receiver, no wrench indents and it looks slightly longer (but that may just be the photograph)
