Question Mp5 and SSE? How does it work?

[Ryan Gosling]

Im dipping my toes into the MP5 world, and am thinking of acquiring an ap5sd after getting a taste of the G3. However, what I cannot determine is why I see so many maglocked versions of the MP5 for sale?

Couldnt you make it featureless instead? i.e. SSE at store with a fin grip and fixed stock

additionally, how does the process of acquiring one actually go? My dealer does a 275$ SSE conversion but (i believe) he requires just the receiver, and i have been unable to find one for sale. Can you SSE a used complete pistol from out of state by shipping the receiver to dealer and separate the triggerpack?

Century won't SSE them. We sell Zenith ZF-5's for 1850 SSE, we can ship if needed. PTR won't SSE either, your best real bet is to run with the zenith. You cannot SSE a pistol that was previously Semi, all AP5's are previously semi. https://www.2azone.com/product/zenith-fireams-zf-5-single-shot-pistol-black-8-9/

The zenith's are legit. For about another $1k, you can make really fun. You know, fake barrel cans, braces etc.

can you just make them featureless after or are they required to remain maglocked?

Any pistol with a magazines outside the grip has to be maglocked and is specifically limited to ten rounds

The fortensis radiata lower fixes half the problem. it does use an ar style trigger,so the firing pin spring needs a little shortening to reliably cycle.

I have a ZF5. Just go that route you will not regret it. Do not try to part it out as the tolerance from part to part will vary. There is no mil-spec for MP5 clones. Just go the Zenith route and you will be good. Radiata inc makes a good maglock for the zenith. I don’t know where you are located but here in Orange County a couple shops offer them.It is very pricey but gives you a better trigger than the standard one that is mush and is by far the best maglock for an MP5 clones on the market. That is the way I went and I love it. Just make sure you stick to 10rnd mags and you are golden.

What about the legality to convert back to semi wouldn’t it loose its SSE status for example if you
Got stopped my law enforcement or at a ty range?

Featureless is an option for centerfire semi auto rifles; not pistols.
