That charging handle looks like a 3D print. WTF?

It is, and with what appears to be a crappy consumer grade filament too. With no finish work.

I have an MP5 base from these guys - it's rock solid. Looks like their pic rail version is on sale for $99.

What is all this and why does it look like it’s melted?

Gun manufacturer weld.

That’s the H&K weld for the rear sight.

Gotcha. I thought it was part of what he bought. Yikes.

Do yourself a favor with mp5 parts. Stick with hkparts, rtg parts, or hk specialists. They may be more expensive but customer service is excellent and their parts are tried and true.

You need to be semi-careful with non-German/OEM parts from anywhere really.

For actual H&K type parts I do. But for an optic mount, there are good independent machine shops out there. Sadly, Farrow was not one of them.

I ended up getting a low pro claw mount from HKParts after this though.

Looks like they actually sell you the prototypes.

Hollup. . . . Farrow Tech??? Like in the movie Boiler Room?????? LOL

That's some funny stuff for a name. Not Pharaoh. FARO. Like the game of chance where your odds of winning are so low you are better off throwing your money at the dealer and walking out. It was a funny pun in the movie b/c Seth ran an illegal casino prior to becoming a scamming stockbroker.

I just bought 2 of these they were 3d printed. Fittament was crap, set screw into printed plastic. I contacted Farrow and told them so. They sent me 2 newly redesigned charging handles. These have a pocket for a backing nut that the set screw engages. So much better, solid mount now. Very lightweight and totally worth the $20.

She sure hasn't aged well...

 

[Dennis in MA]

She's no spring chicken. Nor was she that attractive when she was young. And anyone who would willingly spend any time with Woody Allen is just. . . well, you need a few screws loose in order to do that. Even BEFORE it was "alleged" he was a child predator, he was a strange individual.
