I currently have the falcon rifling barrel, nineballs vsr bucking and a new hop up chamber... I am wondering if it would be a good idea to modify the expensive barrel...
Another thing is, I noticed the back of my bolt carrier kind of stripped off at the lower left end (the part that extends out).... not sure if the hammer did that on auto...
in any case I bought a new bolt carrier set but found out the bolt head does not come with the separate extractor pin and pin holder on the head... it seems like it is a complete one piece now?
and How was the test with the maple buckings?  im pretty curious if anyone had tried the different inner barrel and hop up combos... specifically maple barrel, miracle barrel and falcon barrels.... unless there is another VSR modifiable type I am missing out on.
Im pretty keen on picking up the mp5k gbb and working on some mods for it if I can complete this mp5 project lol... it is a very troublesome piece of gear on gen1 stock...
Thanks in advance and  this is one awesome thread. MP5 FTW!
PS: What kind of effective range (headshot size) are you getting with your MP5s after the VSR hop mod? |
I've only ever ran the falcon rifling barrel on the MP5A3. I use nine-ball with the VSR10 style hop-up chamber.The gun shoots fairly accurate, however with light bb's like .20 .25 there's a bit of over-hop.
Regarding miracle barrel and other barrels, I have not yet attempted to try them yet.
I have tried the maple leaf bucking on the rifling barrel, and the gun performed poorly. The VSR10 mod is always best with a classic style hop-up nub, like the stock TM one or Nineball's purple one.
Yes over time, the bolt carrier will wear down. Especially that little edge, because of full auto. You don't need to replace it until something is actually not working on the gun.
If you have longer barrel, like the SD3 accuracy will improve by double. The Mp5K is a good performing gun but it lacks distance... something that might need to be fixed with a tight bore barrel and new bucking.
