I did not have a problem with mine on my Turner Fab 9mm. It really took a good eye to tell it apart from my HK A3F, the push-pin and holes lined up same as on my HK, lockup felt the same, never noticed any rubbing. Definitely worth the money.

 

Mine hasn't rubbed the receiver. Brethren arms build off demilled kit and sw receiver. Hole didn't line up perfect, but close enough to work.

 

Well, that's good enough to consider then. Thanks!

 

They rub on LSC and German/contract. Some more than others. They do not rub on SW since SW rail slots are a bit wider. Use some lube on the forks. Right side pushpin hole is off too, some more than others. Put on gun and run a drill bit through from left side to right to slightly oblong right side hole on the stock.

 

My man with the info!

Is this something where I can take a little material off the stock rails?

 

Does anyone know who has them for sale right now?

 

i got an ATI A3 f stock from hkparts.net. Loved it and it fit well with no wobble or play on my zenith RS. However, after about a month it won't stay locked closed anymore. ATI (american tactical imports and ATI gunstocks.... tried both) CS says they do not and never have made an MP5 stock so you won't get any support if it is faulty. On the other hand, I have found no other reports of similar issues with the ATI. Everyone seems to love it. I guess i'm just unlucky?

Oh my gosh,was that customer service who said that they did not make the stocks?....that does not sound good unless the person on the phone was an uninformed new hiree.

 

that's a possibility i'm sure, but she did place me on hold to speak to her "manager"... maybe i'll try again next week.

I would take a chance if they made the old style stock.I prefer it to the F version.

 

So any possibility to taking material down to prevent rubbing on HK and LSC receivers?

 

I have an ATI stock on a LSC receiver (a Vector made gun) and it does not rub, nor were the holes misaligned. It's near perfect -however, I got one that wouldn't stay closed first, and the retailer was kind enough to swap it for me.

 

Interestingly... I found this picture of HK's own SHOT/show example of a "modern" MP5 (painting it tan makes it modern right?)

Are those scratches on their own receiver rails with their own stock? Or it just camera flash that happens to only light on a portion of the flat receiver rails?

 

Yes. The inner mechanism does often times scratch the forks. How much you actually see depends on how durable the finish it. Every BRAND NEW German F-stock I have gotten over the last several years was painted with enamel or similar. Brake/carb cleaner took the paint right off.

 

Mines a PCS built MP5 on a LSC flat and I have a ATI F stock and had to do very minor trimming on the holes to get the push pin to fit. But I have not noticed any wearing on the receiver from the stock and my gun gets used. Overall I am very happy with the stock

 

Just received about a dozen stocks. All have MUCH less to nearly zero rub. Some still have stock pin (right side) alignment offset but overall much better than the last batch.

 

Are they HK stocks or third party/contract?

 

I bought one for a DJ Getz build. The right side hole was off pretty dramatically. I opened it up so it would work, but I replaced it with a non-F factory HK stock (which fits perfectly). I'd have a hard time buying another without being able to test fit, and I really don't like a bolt hold open F stock anyway.
