Yea it is as AR’s have a cutout in the faux slide that the ping pong paddle locks in to.
MP5’s are a different kettle of fish and don’t do ping pong.
Traditionally they close on an empty chamber and you manually lock the bolt back, insert fresh mag, then dance around in circles yelling look I’m doing the H&K slap
The rubber bushings/grommets in the rear of the shells will need a trim with a new razor-blade, as they tend to bind the cylinder slightly if left as they are.
The build quality of the sijun mp5k is actually very nice, firm, and heavy with metal gearbox. But the motor grip is a bit finnicky with its screws, and shimming motor height is a pain in the a$$ with v2 gearbox and mp5 lower receiver since you can’t visibly see the mesh between pinion and bevel gears.
Must be a Gen8, full auto only and they takes Gen8 mags, not the proper AUG waffle mags.
Wonder how creaky the shell is being a sub $200 blasters.
I’d say it would be good as just a wall hanger except no waffle mag .
There was also a “new” CYMA MP5 kit that had the collapsing stock and the full length fixed stock but that’s hiding somewhere on their site, link was on FB.
Err, i don’t have a fps measuring thingy, but i gotta say it’s okay-ish out of the box, but definitely needs a reshim. Air compression is pretty nice, piston is made from the cheap white plastic, not the sturdy blue shs one.
But as i said, the pinion and bevel mesh adjustment is a pain since you have to guess, and the wiring can get in the way when putting it back together.
I got the metal gearbox one, black color, not split like hk416c and hk416d. So it can withstand m100 spring and not warp like the other metal one from sijun.
There is always a way, might not be easy. Think outside the box.
Throwing it out there to use marking dye, bolt it up and you’ll see mesh on pull apart and give you an idea where to go.
Hey if I had to use it and get covered in it on 600t presses to check mesh, it could work
Paint marker pens, mechanics use it all the time to set car diff mesh as they can’t see it either.
If it is a V2 they are easy to set, just got to do few trial runs and get a feel and see what is going on. Don’t rush it.
V2 you set your pinion height with the gearbox split in halves, lay it in one half then you can set your pinion height. You can do it with the halves together but that comes with experience.
I’m guessing you are trying to do it with the gearbox halves bolted together. Not the way.
Measure the pinion from the end to the lower edge of the teeth.
Install bevel in gearbox, measure from gearbox edge to bevel edge.
Add the pinion teeth length to the gearbox to bevel edge measurement. At this point I normally lock my vernier in place.
Then install motor in lower, measure the top of the pinion to the top of the grip area, adjust motor until it is the same as the pinion teeth length + distance from gearbox edge to bevel edge.
Then you can install the gearbox with only the bevel gear, install the motor and check the mesh with something reaching down to rock the bevel gear.
It’s the same result. but without being able to see it in the half shell method. I actually do this on a lot of gearboxes now as it is quicker if the gearbox is hard to get a good view of the gear edges.
