Been wanting to do an MP5 clone build for some time now.

Lots of really nice AR-15 styles, but I like something different. Had no money for a Thompson kit, or a Krinker Plinker build. Wanted it to be as short as our Canadian law will allow, (its just over 26-1/4" long) and remain NR. Estimate to have $400 into it not including the 10/22 that I used.


Consists of a NEA 9" barrel
Specter Arms S-54 chassis, (modified a fair bit)
Pro-Mag AA9-22 magazine
Some eBay airsoft diopter sights.
Butt stock I made myself. (Out of a scrap chunk of 2x6")

Still some finishing work to do, the airsoft sights seem to be okay now but I hardly trust them. The Pro-Mag had some filing to be done before it feeds reliably, (just gotta take your time cause once material is removed, its gone forever). Some sanding marks in the butt stock as well to smooth out, plus I need to give it a real butt plate. I also want to make a sling of some type, and perhaps paint the final assembly all matte black so all the parts match.

Might even put on a dummy fire control lever.

I would also like to fabricate something that will cover the gap left at the rear of the 10/22 receiver. As well as a plate or cover to hide the AR-15 threads, latch and nut; all to make it more MP5 like.

If I get real ambitious I will make a left hand side charging handle, but that will wait a while.


Anyways, its a little different than most 10/22 builds.
 
Fresh!

Nice job, that's looks really different

I bet if people saw that at the club, you'd have to tell about it, people would be curious what it is

The top rail and pistol grip/stock really make the look

really neat
 
Looks good!

I have been working on my mp5 like 10/22 and the promag
was my first choice. Have you been able to get it to work reliably yet?

Where did u get the sights? I ended up building my own that have similarities but are certainly not replicas like those are.

By "prompt" do you mean pro-mag????

If so, I actually had to remove a fair bit of material to get it to seat into the magwell. There is still a bit more to remove yet (the bolt rubs on it), to much friction when the mag is full but I am confident, with some more filing/sanding it will work fine.

Got the sights on eBay, back during the winter. Just had time to get back to the project now. They are not so great, not a matching set, so I am at the limit of adjustment and still hitting a bit high (about 1-1/2" high at 35 yards).

I like how it handles, can see the reason why real compact firearms are so much fun.
 
Yes, I meant pro-mag. Auto correct on this thing drives me nuts.

On my build, I will most likely have a scope but sights as a backup are nice.

Heard products-mags can be a pain. Keep us up to date on the build.
