MP5K folding stock crack
Hi guys so I have the folding stock on the MP5k / SP89
There seems to be a hairline crack in the stock, what would you recommend to fix this?
What kind of process could one do, I assume its plastic so possibly some kind of resin and then respray the entire stock?
Thanks

Re: MP5K folding stock crack
What you could do is remove it, and send it to me... I'll gladly take that faulty thing off your hands
Maybe post a pic or 2, so better answers could be given.
P.S. still want the stock

Re: MP5K folding stock crack
Where is the crack located, and how large is it?

Re: MP5K folding stock crack
If that stock breaks you have a very heavy and cumbersome one handed pistol.
Suggestions: contact HK and enquire about a warranty or something similar, or order a new one from the start?
If a warranty etc is not possible and a new stock impossible for some reason, I would try and fix it before it breaks. May build a small strut or bracket around it? Cut shallow grooves into both sides of the stock, drill holes through the stock and brackets, and fasten everything with bolts and epoxy?

Re: MP5K folding stock crack
Send a email to H&K, it may be over molded with a metal frame inside in which case it’s a non issue however if it’s all polymer it is more than likely something like a glass filled polymer part and the crack could worsen and the stock fail completely.

Re: MP5K folding stock crack
Getting a part out of Gemany may be near impossible.
If it were mine, I would drill a hole from the back and epoxy an aliminium rod inside to reinforce it, then fill the crack with some epoxy. But that's just me. Others may frown upon my taste.
