    Default Vector MP5-40 kit needs a gunsmith

    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.

    I just searched under "Vector MP5-40 kit" and found this-

    SAR is going to run a step by step article in the "very near future" on building a LSC flats MP5.

    Good Luck

    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.
