Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Marui MP5 Flashhider thread won't fit over longer inner barrel?

Hey guys,

Just a small problem I encountered while smithing a friend's MP5: I installed a longer M4 length tightbore inner barrel into the AEG and all seemed to fit normally. However, when I tried to fit the front part of the MP5 over the now longer inner barrel, I noticed that something was not allowing the tightbore to go all the way through out the end of the gun.

Upon closer inspection I found that the part where the flashhider normally screws onto the gun has some sort of "lip" that doesn't allow the inner barrel to go past through that point.

So I'm just wondering is this a normal implementation of the TM MP5? Is it worth it to find someone to mod the piece to widen the opening? Or is there a cheap aftermarket part I can get to replace it?

Thanks in advance for your help

Edit: The part in question appears to be MP-11 according to the TM MP5 tech manual. I tried to do some searching related to this problem to no avail
