Got a MP5 coming in and need a 3 lug to thread adaptor. I've looked on the net with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Re: HK 3 lug to thread adaptor
Are you saying that you want threads instead of the 3-lug? If that is the case, I believe the 3-lug will just unscrew. Once you do that, find out what threads you and and get an adapter for what threads you need.

Post back if you find one, I am looking too.
I think what we want is the Navy version.
Good luck

Re: HK 3 lug to thread adaptor
There was a time everyone wanted to go from threads to 3-lug and adapters, the adapters to do that are still readily found. Now, folks want to go from 3 lug to threaded and it considerably more important to hold critical dimensions and some considerable skill is required to make this happen as an "adapter". I've tried many and have stopped using them.
The most practical way to insure a safe transition is to thread the barrel stub post the three way lug. As you might expect, removing the MP5 barrel is not an easy task and there are very few houses that I trust to do the job properly. Some thread the stub while the barrel is mounted, it can be done well by very few. Having said that, over the years I have used threaded/3 lugs arrangements and they work perfectly. Also, please note that a few houses still produce cans that employ three lug lead ins.
Start here, there are others.

Also, this very same technique is the very best way to transition from MAC threading in the 10 and 11 back to the more common and standard threadings as well.

Good work in the MP5 arena is expensive, much of it can adversely effect the host and ruin both performance and valuation. In the end it boils down to a simple question...
"Why am I not buying a 3-lug can expressly for my MP-5 and not altering my host in any way?"

Re: HK 3 lug to thread adaptor
So I am assuming from your answer RT that the 3-lug will not unscrew?

762, I can only assume that he has an barrel that does not. That would make sense as I doubt he is a dealer with sample or later stock. Who knows?

Re: HK 3 lug to thread adaptor
In my case I have an Osprey, and until I can get an Octane, I'd like to be able to suppress it.
Good luck

762, sorry for the delay. All true spec HK barrels have integral lugs. If it is HK and has lugs, they do not unscrew.
