Well made it to the range today. Did a halfway break in of my MP5 Clone (MKE AP5). Shot 210 rounds through it and by the time I got to the last 2 mags it functioned 100%. Now the first couple mags I had around 6 failure to feed problems with 124 gr IWI Black Tip Hollow points. We’re talking about half the total round count with the rest being Wolf Gold FMJ. One thing I noticed is at this gun (I guess ALL MP5’S and accurate clones) don’t actually have feed ramps. So that being said I reckon FMJ and hollow points with a longer Ogive (?) would feed better.

Anyway I started with the iron sights until I got them shooting where I wanted. Then I remounted my Vortex Venom RDS and did the same thing. Then I remounted rest of the session was just slinging lead down range for break in.

Hey MB, if you got any input on running an MP5/Clone, I’d appreciate the tips.
