Howdy. The rear sight elevation is fully adjustable without any tools. Just spin the sight clockwise or counterclockwise as needed. The manual will tell you how it affects up or down. I got one yesterday and got mine sighted. Fun for sure.
You're lucky you get a 25-round mag. I'm stuck here with 10 round max capacity. This is one of the last cool guns in CONnecticut you can even get. Not to mention driving to another state or buying rebuild kits is an option but god forbid you take it anywhere public. Anyways, thanks for the video
Just chiming in, here in California, 10 round is so dumb, really envious of the 25. At 25, I might believe this gun could help serve even in a home defense situation. As a criminal I might freak out after the 15th pop.
This was two years ago, and was your first shooting. I wonder if you changed your opinion or not on the sights. I just got mine a couple weeks ago, out of the box with zero cleaning or adjustments, took it to range and shot ~160 rounds at 15 yards, and I was getting decent targeting.
After the video I put a red dot sight with a riser on it. I stick with using the red dot but I can still use the original sights for back up. I think I'm going to do a revisit video this afternoon as this is still pretty popular. It runs like a champ and is fun to shoot.
@@brandonwells1307 I would say Yes, except the fact that it's rather heavy and a bit bulky, and for me I need the lightest possible. Not impossible but certainly not my first choice.
You said I lowered the back sight as far as it would go. Wouldn't that make the gun shoot higher? You raise it to shoot lower, you lower it to shoot higher.
You would be right. I watched the footage and I'm not sure why I said that. I need to get back to the range with this one. It seems to be pretty popular still. Thanks for watching.
I've been trying to make more content on the HK but the range I go to is so busy It's hard to do. I can tell you I shot it at 50 yards yesterday and I was hitting my targets on the lowest setting you can get. As soon as I get a chance I'll do a vid on the sights.
Nice vid! Is your mag hard to insert or remove ? I just got my mp5 22lr and the mag seems to be rubbing on something whenever i try to insert it or remove it. Im not sure if it is normal or just mine
I got one cheap with a 10 round mag but i dont live in a state where they require you only 10 and not 25 rounds i need to know how to covert the 10 to 25
I know you would need another spring for the mag. I checked on a spring and came across this info on the spring at HK parts. HK MP5 .22 25 round magazine spring for the MP5-A5 & MP5-SD .22 rifle Please note: This spring can also be used to convert the 10 round magazine to a 25 round magazine. It has come to our attention that Walther has made changes on any new production 10 round mags that prevent them from being converted so this applies ONLY to the older style 10 round magazine without a permanent block installed. Hope this helps
Honestly, it's anything I can get my hands on but Winchester 36 grain and CCI mini mags 40 grain still have not given me 1 malfunction . knock on wood.
I recently picked up my HK MP5 .22 and I love it! Shoots great and absolutely no malfunctions of any kind.
Ye, it runs great. Thanks for the info and comment.
Happy for you man, Imma planning to pick mine up, are the sights on this polymer or metal??
@@rightfulcopmetal, and very accurate

I made a YT short today. You are right. Lot of fun.

10 round max is a damn shame. I'm going to leave it at that. Thanks for watching.

@@mikem.2078 10 rounds is just enough to piss you off.
@@Scott67 Hey man, you deleted my reply? Why?
@@mikem.2078 I have not deleted your reply. I commented on your reply yesterday. That is all I have done.
there is a tool that HK sells that will allow you to adjust elevation on the rear diopter.
Thank you for the info. The sights are lower than I like, so I put a rail and a red dot on it.
Great video!! Picking mine up this week from Kittery Trading Post up in Maine
Sweet!
It’s a quality made piece. Never malfunctions
I agree. Mine has not had one malfunction. Runs like a champ.
@@Scott67 I just wish I could get soldi stock I like a longer length of pull. Can’t find one.
@@improvisedsurvival5967 How about using rubber stock pad? You might have to customize but they are pretty cheap on amazon.
@@Scott67 have to look into it.
Definitely looking to pick this mp5 up soon....i recently purchased the 416 pistol in 22lr (enjoying it a lot)....appreciate the video.....
Thank you. It is a fun shooter.

Good home defense weapon?

@@mikem.2078 Thanks for the quick reply!
@@brandonwells1307 It is a good firearm but it is not the first choice at my home. Home defense rule- Use what you can.

Can you make a video on how you zero it and cleaned it? Thank you
Check this one I made. th-cam.com/video/vA2hpw9wVDs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9OS12POWwnJJcBu9
Check this one for cleaning th-cam.com/video/cXFn70ZBLGM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zz2NP6K0RCGyvtRh
Mine also shot high and to the left out the box, could you make a video on how to zero in the sights on this thing?

@@Scott67 thank you! Much needed 🙏🏽

It's not a smooth fit that's for sure. Probably just the friction of the plastic mag.
Agreed, not a very smooth fit. Kind of tight, I definitely have to look and insert slowly.
man I just wish the mag didnt have a window and the stupid little spring assist. Would look sooo much more authentic and better without it.
Agreed.

@@Scott67 ok so how do i open up the mag ? I see 2 screws at top but the others are some 2 square marks to open but idk what tool to use
@@kevinthorn9672 Look at the bottom of the mag. In the center is a circle, push that in and slide the base to open.
Careful of the spring
And remember the way it came out.
Ammo preference for this weapon ?
Honestly, it's anything I can get my hands on but Winchester 36 grain and CCI mini mags 40 grain still have not given me 1 malfunction . knock on wood.
Price?
479.00
Nice gun
I agree. Last month I spent 3 days doing another video on this one. I got to say after hundreds of rounds this ran like a top. Thanks for watching.
