give or take $100.

The big navy flashhider has a little serrated clip that holds it on. It slips over the regular "tri-lug" mp muzzle (which on most is threaded). Beware on some of the cheap clones...the threading can be horrible/marginal.

I personally prefer the tri-lug look...but my buddy loves the Navy style...whatever gets you up in the morning I suppose.

Retractable stocks look great..but they get wobbly with use. Not a big deal if you're not picky. Full stocks let you use big batteries (which rock). Otherwise you're stuck to minis in the foregrip...not a big deal at small skirmishes and stuff where there's plenty of breaks to swap out a battery.

The wiring in the flashlight foregrips can be iffy...the wires they use are pretty thin...do yourself a favour and tape over any exposed wires so you don't mangle them putting in/taking out your battery. Digging out the hotglue to get at the contacts is a freaking pain in the a&&. If you get an MP5 without a flashlight grip...skip on getting a clone one...their wiring is even worse and is so shoddy that it looks like it'll break if you breath on it hard.

Have fun!
