Looking for somebody who makes receiver center repair sections for the MP5.
I am looking to build a few post samples
Thank you
Happy new year

Short answer is "no," nobody makes a center repair section. There have been at least 3 makers of receiver flats though, 1 still making them currently. Would be easier (much, much easier) to roll a flat, and instead of the shelf, drill a hole. IIRC the actual machine gun receivers had a backing piece welded or brazed in that you'd need to put in before rolling it. Drill & flare hole, RTG parts sells the crimp on tube. Weld the parts back in. If you really, really wanted to, use the flat to make a repair section, but I'd think the flat would spring back, and it would be kind of tough to make it work right to line up right.
The center section on MP5 has the serial number, don't see to many of these demilled pieces around for sale. Kind of like center sections on SIG 55X's ( not to be found, trust me I've looked). Most demils these days have the magwell cut off too. If you have an older demil, it would probably be easier to find an HK33 rear end section and weld that onto the MP5 front. Wouldn't get the case deflector though.
