Thats what I was looking for Jim, as soon as the cheap plastic was off it made all the difference, certainly drew some attention on the range....

Looking forward to the pics Geoff.

John, no pics as the first test run a bit of a disaster, only when making the holding plate for the rear of the bolt assembly casing, that I noticed a small chunk was missing I'll get some pics of that at some point, although I doubt it would be a concern but I think when it initially happened it probably caused a few more issues.

The first problem was light strikes, it was due to the holding plate I made was a few thou less in thickness, so the assembly casing was not snug against the the barrel face, with the aid of some quick made shims (cardboard from a .22 box) it was up and running. A good clean a repair to be done on the bolt itself and a clean on the safety stud it should be fine. Its a a strange kettle of fish as its too complicated with the hold open and mag safety etc.

As for parts, the UK importers are keen to shift them but when it comes spares etc, I've had no success in the past. Problem with this one is the guy who had it died but had it in bits before hand, part from what I can see there may of been other issues...... if only it was a 9mm original MP5........ basic and reliable.
