When off of the gun, and in the open position, the stock becomes very loose with up and down wobble. But when on the gun it’s non existent. Before dissasembly I didn’t have the wobble. Any suggestions? Also, how do you tighten using the release lever? I see it has teeth but no idea on how to tighten.
Hi. Can i have a help from you?? Regarding yo the insiste torsión sprint unto A3 stock. Can i know the aire diámeter?? Will be helpfull a video from tris part. In my case the spring is missed and no spare for this part. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this video. I have a retractable stock for my G3 clone (Bundeswehr surplus, so probably original H&K production or an identical copy by a subcontractor) it appears to be the exact same design) and I was wondering how it works internally and this video demonstrated it perfectly! As for the final step of turning the ratchet teeth, I think you are supposed to push in the small spring loaded catch under the release lever into the ratchet teeth and then use the main release lever to turn them. I'm not 100% sure I've understood what this does, but I think it's tightening the mechanism somehow?
You can tighten the stock so its more straight on open position on the relise lever. But all HK MP5A3 stock shall have some up and down wobble, not alot but some.
You probably won’t see this. But my stock for some reason lost tension in the lever. So when I open and close it I have to manually lock it and unlock it. It will also wiggle and unlock and lock itself if you shake it. How do I fix this?
You would need to open up the stock, see of the spring is broken inside, thats a very important part of the stock so it keeps locked and so it stays locket both open or closed.
MrTadashiSan this is original H&K MP5 stock. The POF has much larger stock at the back, also much shiny black color, like its painted, cheap finish. H&K is black but not shiny black, also its a bit of two toned color, like gray at the locking mecanism. This stock has german markings
Close Up I am asking because I just ordered a POF stock, and was wondering about the quality. I’ve read mixed things online. Thanks for the quick reply 👍
Any idea where i can get a clamping lever spring? :( ive looked everywhere. Also i ordered the full back plate on gunbroker but it only has one hole to snap the backplate cover into. I noticed yours has 2 rods that snap into the backplate. What did i order? Did i get a fake? :( hoping someone can help. Ill post the youtube link to show you what i mean. Again i also need a clamping lever spring but cant find it anywhere :( ruclips.net/video/gdH0jzTyr10/видео.html
j2alomar I saw your video! It could be POF mp5 stock, I see that its a bit cheap quality also. HK always has those two holes for most durability. It looks cast steel to me in your video. Also the color of mp5a3 stock is always two toned, black and grey. Very hard to see but it two colors. I see also that you got a white buffer, it should be more yellowy tone, I dont have mine installed. I think the seller mixed some parts POF and HK. POF has more of a black paint finish, HK has more matt black/grey Could also be Zenith part, looks more like it. They use cast steel parts, not HK Germany quality. I can tell by the weilding of the backplate, also cheap manufacture, one hole at the back, It should be two holes like mine
thank you! great video. very informative. I saw the last step which I missed before where you ratcheted and added tension.
God bless you good sir, you have saved my day.
German Engineering at it's finest. Nice video
Thank you!!! This has been a true help.
Thanks for making this video! I really appreciate it Bruddah!!
Thank you for this! I plan to make a California compliant retractable stock and this gave me a good idea
Step one : move out of California

TheBigOne0305 yes! It tightens the lock, also the stock become more tight, not loose up an down.
TheBigOne0305 when it comes to the lever at the back, You might be right. Just tryed it and its much easyer 😊
Awesome. I'm glad we could both learn something new. Greetings from Germany :)
no buffer?
Does anyone know where to get the butt cap and other parts? I got just the stock from Atlantic Firearms not realizing i need other parts.
My stock kind of sags down when in the open position, any idea how to fix this issue?
You can tighten the stock so its more straight on open position on the relise lever. But all HK MP5A3 stock shall have some up and down wobble, not alot but some.
Do you still need this stock? Or would you like to sell it?

@@Close_Up thank you!!!
Any idea where I can find the end cap with the teeth on it?
I just put some on Gunbroker.
Is this a original HK stock? or one of the after market ones like ati or pof?

that looks like a HK33 stock by looking at where the rubber buffer should be on an MP5 stock.
good vid
perhaps you wanna practice a bit in advance before making this video.....
