I figured I would start a new thread to document my progress.
Ok like I posted in the NFA thread. I got my Tax Stamp back (Form 1) to remove the fake suppressor on the yes another MP5 I own. I gave you all a chance to own this beauty up for sale a while ago no interested and did not break my heart so I kept it and do what I do best make these look great.
Well started with removing the fake can. I knew where the pin was but I did not expect it to be so fat. I was excepting a thinner pin either way it's coming out. First I took it easy with a small dental grinding tip to expose the pin. After that I got the small cutting wheel and started working my way down enough so I could heat and pull the pin out. I was trying to keep the fake can in the best shape possible... Don't know why I just wanted too. A frined did mention that they wanted it so it's still usable. Could easy built that messing metal back up and finish.
Here are some pics...
.
Next up once I got it where I knew I could get a good hold of that pin is to start applying heat. It's amazing what heat does to make that pin move like butter. LOL It pulled right out no issues.

So know more heat is needed to pull the fake can off. It was on there pretty good. But again heat and a little persuasion came off pretty easy.
Now to fill the pin hole and finish up to match the MP5 and then let the transformation began...
Pics. >>>
.
And my Gemtech multi-mount fits nice.
.
So the end story. My plan is to set this one up like this with the fore end light. I just have to do some research because some of them get in the way of attaching a suppressor.
And some day I will have the whole collection. :smile: :smile: :smile:
