Umarex MP5 22LR fixed stock options?

[Creampuff]

I enjoy shooting my Umarex MP5 22LR except for one aspect. And that is the poor cheek weld with the telescoping stock.

I know that the fixed A2 stock for the Umarex/HK 22LR has been discontinued. Has anyone found a viable substitute for a fixed stock option?
Will dremelling and shimming work if I purchased a real MP5 stock and tried it on the 22LR?

thanks in advance

Here is mine



Mine is a genuine HK A2 stock. I found it used on Gunbroker for $87. Decent condition.

In my research, everyone said it only takes 5 minutes of dremeling to fit. This was not the case for me... It took me hours and hours of reducing and test fitting to fit the stock on. The guide rails had to be taken down horizontally and vertically. Also, the takedown pin hole had to be widened and made oblong.

If you have a dremel and some files, go for it - but I wouldn't attempt it without those tools.

The good news is, I didn't need any shims, and the stock fits solid as a rock with no wobbles.

Ive got two of these awesome rifles and have been looking for a solid stock for years.
They are out there but hard to find.
As posted above ( NICE freekin job by the way ) you can get a RTG Hk stock and go to town with a dremel but I haven't gone that route yet...

Other option is using a Umarex airsoft MP5 fixed stock.

The Umarex/Walther .22LR MP5 used the Umarex airsoft MP5 as a template.

I've seen the posts demonstrating the real MP5 stock being used, but I've never read anything showing how the Umarex stock would fare. Definitely sounds plausible though.

The real ones are more durable and feel better.
Which is why most people go this route.

The airsoft ones are kinda flimsy feeling.
Which is why people only go this route as a last resort.

Found some used A2 stocks here:

For the price, I wonder if they are really HK factory parts or just aftermarket. Regardless, time to warm up the dremmel

The majority of the times, my projects with a dremmel come out making me glad I purchased this tool. But every once in awhile, I look at my handiwork, and wonder how so much destruction could be done with such a small instrument.

Let's hope this project will be the former and not the latter.

Dremmels have two speeds polish and destroy.

Hard to find but worth it, I swap mine between the solid and folder and it's dirt simple and quick.

Forgot up to update my own post. Thank you Caulfield. You are correct a standard HK stock with a dremmel was all that was needed. My experience was almost similar, I had to widen the pin hole and narrow the rails. I, however, did not have to reduce the stock rails both horizontally and vertically.

Thanks again!
