The long term result also includes installing a swordfish kit on my MP5. In fact that was the initial goal but it seems the SD6 isn't a good fit for that so I'd need to convert its front end beforehand.
If you have suggestions/advices/ideas/etc. on that subject, as well as info on where I could find the necessary part, it would be much appreciated  (You can also try to persuade me it's a bad idea ! I'm still new to the MP5...)
Thanks ! |
I am not familiar with the construction of the SD6, to impart direct advice on this.
I do have a TM MP5A4 model, that i converted over to a Swordfish, some time back.
It was not a direct-bolt on parts exercise - at least with the Cyma RIS/replacement barrel that i sourced from airsoftdepot. The gas tube/cocking assembly slung under the replacement barrel needed some profiling/shaving with a Dremel, and the RIS itself needed some profiling of the front of the RIS - it was slightly too long. Pretty straight-forward exercise.

I think i sourced the Swordfish parts from ehobbyasia at the time, but can't remember for sure.
Once the RIS mods were done, the Swordfish front/spine were a straight-forward bolt-on affair. I have a Lipo butterfly in the RIS, to power the gun, when using an A5(?) slider-stock, but i've also got an A4 full stock for it as well (as pictured below). I had initially set it up as a PDW'ish looking MP5 with the Cyma RIS, and added the Swordfish front/spine onto it later.
It might be better to keep an eye out on the classifieds and try to source a cheapish dead/needing work A4/A5 TM-compatible model, if you acquire the parts necessary to do the Swordfish modification. I don't know if G&G's version is directly TM-compatible.
