You'll need an MP5 "claw mount". They're specific for MP5's. And buy a cheap one from Ebaybanned or something. No point in buying an expensive real steel one.

Yeah, I'm 100% done with TM. Worthless IMO. Maybe a couple of years back, they were an awesome (albeit overpriced) alternative to the Chinese clones. But now that JG, Echo 1, etc are making such good quality guns, I'd much rather get one of those and spruce it up as I see fit... And it'll end up being a much better performing gun for less than a stock TM. With the base gun as a JG MP5-J, and all the upgrades, I paid about $700 for my gun in total, once I factored in all the extra parts I sold. And that's counting replacing the mechbox shell that cracked after 50k rounds (replaced with a Deepfire reinforced 7mm shell) and a set of Modify modular torque-up gears. And I still have the stock upper receiver and front end left over (no, not for sale in case any non-AV members get any ideas and decide to PM me...)

So starting with a TM or a CA, it would have cost me a lot more to get my gun to its current state than what I did with my gradual upgrades.

Schwag got banned? What happened!!!!

kalnaren · April 15th, 2009, 07:43

Why is it whenever someone gets banned some n00b freaks out?

Griffen · April 15th, 2009, 08:30

"OH MY GOD!!!!! WHERE IS HE???? WHAT AM I GONNA DO????" He was helping my with my gun... not a freak out just asking. Ive never seen a person banned yet. Sorry to set you off kalnaren.

kalnaren · April 15th, 2009, 09:31

You didn't set me off.. it's just funny.

Crunchmeister · April 15th, 2009, 09:43

I'm guessing his banning had something to do with his posts in the "Can of worms" thread in the off-topic forum.

Im with crunchmeister on using a fullstock cause when i used the sliding stock on my mp5 it always ends up fully retracted. Having a full stock also balances the weight of the gun and i get to have a bigger battery installed for more playtime. Regarding the brand of mp5 that you should buy i would recommend either the new CYMA mp5's because its easy to disassemble or Jing Gong because of the parts compatibility with a lot of brands, plus they are both easy on the budget and the extra money you have left can be spent on upgrades, extra battery and mags. If externals are what you are after then get either the ICS or CA, either way all of these guns wont be the same anymore after some time cause you'll have to replace the internals one day. I mean can you still call a TM mp5 a TM if all of its internals aren't stock? Any of these brands are good (unless you get a lemon) and always get the metal bodied versions cause they will last longer. My unit is a JG mp5 navy and ive been using it with stock internals for 3 months, the only problem i encountered was the hop-up but that was an easy fix. So far the internals have held up cause ive been plinking daily and game during the weekend.

Do they sell the large mp5 mags with the real bullets on the outside magazine in Canada?

And 2end question what kinda battery should i be looking at for an out of the box MP5 SD5. the 8.4v or can i go up to a 9.?v or higher without hurting the guns internals?

Are you buying the JG SD5 forsure? And does it state that it's shooting 360FPS? Then you should be able to use a 9.6 just fiine. Metal bushings should already be installed. I'm not sure if a bearing spring guide would be installed, since I have never openned up a JG, but if you are shooting around 360, it's a good idea to install one. What is your plan with this gun, ROF, or high FPS?
Good idea to ask youself these things before you start buying all sorts of parts.

Griffen · April 18th, 2009, 11:08

Yeah is just arrived today. Its my 1st gun so i dont know tons about it. Out of the box its said to shoot 360FPS but i have not tested it. How would i tell about the bearing spring guide. Again i know very little but i think i would like to have a higher ROF then FPS on this gun. But im still charging the battery so its all very new to me.

Griffen · April 18th, 2009, 12:55

WOOOHOOO this thing rules. My girlfriends test fire hurts like a son of a bitch!!! I'm in love. Cant wait to get this thing fully charged up and in action.
