Vector MP5-40 kit needs a gunsmith

[spyder]

I have an MP5-40 kit that I don't have a clue on how to put together. I was wondering if there is anyone on this forum that knew how to do this? I figured the trigger out, but the rest is, well, not for me. Is there anyone who has put one of these together that will do this one? I am in a toss up between selling the kit, and having it built by someone...

I see you posted it for sale...... I would recommend looking at/talking to Turner Fabrications or IGF for builds right now, and after a few months hiatus, Parabellum Combat Systems. If you do end up wanting to build it-let me know and I'll dig up a bunch of stuff to get you through....and with the help of a good TIG welder- you'll be set.

If you could get me plans on how to go about doing it, that would be sweet! I would forget about selling it and build it. I have a friend who is awesome at tig so I am not afraid of that. Man if you could help me out on this, that would be great.

SAend has linked to a substantial amount of applicable info....the Arizona Response Systems "notes" are good as they address some of the SW shortcomings, and the smcomp list is even a bit more complete albeit for a G3.

You should be jazzed you got a Vector receiver- they seem to be far more square and correct than the SW and will require less work to run well.

I'll send some more stuff over as soon as I find it between 3 computers & two hard drives. PM me your email address so I can send some larger files.


922R parts count may/may not be critical to you depending on what you replace with factory parts...also be careful when drilling the paddle mag release hole-there is an order that tends to keep the batfe happier.

The only thing is I do not have a flat, my reciever is already done. Everything fits nicely into it and on it without a problem. I need to know how far to push the barrel in, what all to weld in and where it all goes. Thanks for the reply though.

So I used the PDF you sent me and put the bolt together as much as I could, but I don't know where the last 4 little part go. I know I don't have the firing pin in the picture.

ok, as you look into the "bore" for the locking piece in the carrier, the hole at the 3 o'clock position has the longest pin inside a roll pin-it is driven flush to that face- you should see the tail of the long pin through the hole on the "right" side. the hole on the left side has a roll pin driven flush to the outside face as a tensioner to the LP. and the center hole in the bolt head in the above picture takes a roll pin to keep the roller spring wire in place. If you need pics, let me know.

[spyder]

Ok, so I got the one in that keeps the roller spring in place without a problem. I had to take some of the metal off of the middle of the wire though for the roller pin to fit between it. I took the long thin pin and inserted it into one of the other roller pins as seen in the picture and drew an arrow to where It goes. That is how it goes in right? It doesn't want to go into the hole like that at all... The last roller pin in the side (red arrow) cannot go in all the way otherwise I can't get the locking piece in. Am I supposed to file that pin down?

[oinco]

You are on it! Do you have some calipers you can measure the roll pins? It is possible that the sizes you got in your kit are not exactly right. I can't find dimensions for the roll pins in my stuff- yet. Not sure if I have them but I thought I did. The pin that goes where your red arrow does protrude quite a bit internally-but maybe the roll pin you have is a touch too long? I'll post a pic or two here shortly.
