Whether you shoot a ZF-5 or an actual HK MP 5, the truth is that these subguns are a little limited in terms of what attachments you can add, based just on the number of mounting points.
The MP5 accessories and parts covered in this short post will help change that paradigm. Here are some of the most valuable, versatile MP5 accessories in our collection.
A Two-Point Sling
If you carry your MP5 for any reason, a two-point sling is a very valuable accessory. The main reason is because of the different value it offers when compared to a one-point sling.
While one-point slings have a tactical aesthetic and are very practical for the purposes of weapon retention, they’re somewhat limited when it comes to comfortable carrying the gun.
A two-point sling will better distribute the weight and let the gun lay more comfortably against your body, making it much more practical for those who need to take a load off their hands and transfer it to their shoulders.
MP5 Magazines
The MP5 magazines we sell here are built to a high standard of quality and are also among the most valuable MP5 accessories we sell here.
The reason is because of how much time they can save you. If you wanted to, you could mag dump an MP5 in about a second, even in semi-auto. If you pay for range time, that means you will spend more time loading mags than shooting.
The more MP5 mags you have in your range bag, loaded and ready to go, the more time you can spend shooting and less time loading.
Also, our MP5 magazines feature all-steel construction, steel followers, high-tensile strength mag springs, and are electroplated to resist wear and corrosion, making them easier to clean.
We also sell them in bundles so you can stock up and save.
Picatinny Optics Rail Adapters
Compatible with the claw-mount lugs on HK style receivers (just like our MP5 receivers) these Picatinny optics rail adapters will completely revolutionize your MP5-inspired platform.
You will have a lot more flexibility in terms of what sort of optic you want to add to the rail, since there are so many that are compatible with Pic rail mounts.
This one MP5 accessory will single-handedly transform your platform, enabling you to add a scope, a red dot sight, or another optic, enabling faster, more confident shooting at extended ranges.
Folding Stocks
For those of you with a compact variant, a folding stock can further cut down on the overall footprint and make the platform much more discreet. This can be highly beneficial for those of you with MP5 variants used as PDWs, truck guns, or other areas in which tight quarters are to be expected as a condition of engagement.
A folding stock can be deployed and used to deliver greater stability for better accuracy at greater ranges, but the great thing about these is the versatility. They can be folded to the side and the platform still fired as though it is a stockless PDW.
We offer a variety of MP5 stocks here, but check out our full collection of MP5 accessories to see what folding stocks we offer.
Gun Cases
A subgun as valuable as an MP5 deserves protection, and there’s little better than a hard-sided gun case with internal padding for that.
We sell top-quality hard-sided gun cases specifically for MP5-style platforms that offer a high level of protection against drops, crushing pressure, and more. They’re impact and weather resistant, with water-resistant gaskets, and they conform to TSA requirements. They even have wheels to make transport easier.
The internal foam is also customizable, and there’s room for spare mags in the cases as well. You can customize the internal dimensions to what you need.
Don’t need that high of a level of protection from your MP5 case? Get a soft-sided case. They’re much more affordable, and even though they don’t offer quite as much shock absorption as our hard-sided cases, they’re perfectly suitable for a quick trip to the local range.
Extended M-LOK Handguards
Just like the Picatinny rail adapters that we sell here, our M-LOK handguards can significantly overhaul the expandability of your MP5.
The polymer handguards that come with these guns may be comfortable in the hand but they effectively offer nothing in the way of expandability or accessorization. By contrast, these M-LOK handguards are not only lightweight but covered in attachment points.
Whether you want to add lights, lasers, vert grips, sidesaddle mounts, offset sights, or any other type of shooting attachment, these are about the best MP5 accessories that we sell here – or MP5 parts, if you will.
The bottom line is if you want to attach something to your MP5 or ZF-5 and don’t have the attachment point, these M-LOK handguards are the perfect part to upgrade your gun.
Extended Cocking Handles
Wish you had a little more purchase when it came to charging your MP5? Nothing against the cocking handle that comes with the gun, but it could be a little better and more tactile.
That’s where a very specific MP5 part comes into play: a Zenith Firearms extended cocking handle, which is compatible not just with many of our models, but with many other roller-delayed MP5-style platforms.
These extended cocking handles sport a larger profile, more surface area, and a knurled texture for better grip when using thick gloves or when paired with certain bulky handguards.
Bonus: An MP5 Sight Adjustment Tool
Lastly, if you can find a good MP5 sight adjustment tool, get it. Rotating the rear sight doesn’t adjust it for windage or elevation, all it does is adjust the aperture of the sight.
You’ll either need to replace the rear sight entirely for toolless adjustments, or get an MP5 sight adjustment tool that will let you make those adjustments.
