PCC with MP5 reloads Q

[patrickbeijer]

Are there guys here that use a MP5 for PCC ?   i checked some on youtube and despite that most MP5 users will tell you that you cannot make a reload on a full chamber /closed bolt i see them making reloads on closed bolts.

 

Do they do some mods on there guns ?

The magazines are downloaded from full capacity to make it possible.

How many rounds are in the mag to do so ?

Downloading mags is pretty standard. Even Glock & MPX mags are a pain to seat beneath a closed bolt. With colt mags you may need a hammer.

 

It’s pretty common to extend your mags to 42-47 rounds or so then download by 2 for an unloadedd table start, so that they seat easily. You still have 8 spare rounds for a long USPSA stage, so you don’t have to shoot conservatively.

I download mags too (not mp5 )

I down load mp5 mags 4 rounds or so for mandatory reloads.  I never had an issue loading to a closed bolt with my hk94 ( semi auto mp5 with push button mag release as opposed to a paddle release) Just takes some practice as the reload isn't that natural.

thanks Guys , i shoot with an HK94 and also with a 9mm AR but really like shooting the MP5 .

 

I noticed the biggest drawback is the reload but i think i just need to practice more....

 

I did add a Tac Latch from HK Parts and that already helped me out a lot because the push button is not ideal

I need to put a tac latch in mine (given what real original HK 94s cost in this country I just couldn't bring myself to modify it for the paddle release.)

It took me a fair ammount of practice to get a decent reload with it.   The curved mag and insertion angle coupled with tight mag well make it a bit of a chalange. I even played around some with the old original style straight stick mags (but they haven't ever been that reliable in my guns. ) I really need to see about designing and 3d printing a mag well for it, just haven't gotten around to it.

There is a guy in my country that makes mag wells for them that you can ''clip on''  i do not know if he does this commercially but some of my friends use it and looks very nice
