I'm sitting here looking at an MP5k and an MP5 reciever (just pictures) and wondering how hard it would be to somehow rig an full sized MP5 to accept a ver.3 mechbox. Has anyone ever done this before? Even with an M4/16 or something. I have next to no gundoctor experience and havnt actually seen the inside of an MP5 before but am thinking that if the part of the reciever that holds the mechbox is the same size externally on an MP5 and an MP5k then why cant it be done? I know it would be one hell of a lot of work to modify it but is it possible at all?
