MP5 Metal Front Cocking Tube Slipping Out
Recently, I finally spent the cash and bought a mosquito molds RIS unit for my MP5. After quite a bit of grinding with the dremel to get it to position and fit onto the receiver, I was able to assemble to gun again.
The entire front of the gun is pretty heavy now and it is causing the front cocking tube assembly to pull/tilt forward out of the receiver. It really bugs me and every time I hold the gun, it looks like the barrel is bent downward.
1. is there any way to fix it? I installed the RIS unit a few years after I installed the metal recevier/front cocking tube bits, so the part that slides into the receiver may have lost some metal since it was really tight when I initially installed the metal kit.
2. how about crazy gluing it into the receiver? It would probably do a decent job of keeping it from slipping, but is there any way to 'un-crazy' glue it if I ever need to get into the guts and repair anything?
Thanks,
Jerold
