Make your own UTG MP5 Silencer for dummies!

[yanhchan]

Making a UTG MP5 silencer by not following the instructions!







This is basically the same version of the Nemisis made but with some slight differences due to Canadian tire having a crappy selection of stuff....so lets start off with the parts you'll need....You won't need a dremel or a drill but you will need elbow grease



Plubming section at RONA or Home Hardware. (stay away from canadian tire since it took me 2 stores to find anything...) Dunno about lansing or Home depot

Item 1) (bottom)
You will need a 3/4” OD PVC pipe that is at least a foot long. However sometimes they sell them for 4-5 dollars for 10 feet so you might have to get them to cut a few foot long lengths for you.

Item 2) (1st item from the left)
1/4” OD X 3”L BRASS NIPPLE/Pipe connector. (you may buy either one or two of these depending on how long you want your silencer to be)

Item 3) (third item from the left in the picture)
LONG SILENCER PEOPLE MAY OMIT THIS ITEM!!!
(long silencer people can omit this one as you will use the tread from one of the 1/4” OD X3” L to thread into the gun)
ONE OF THE FOLLOWING your choice...I'd go for best price as it doesn't make a big difference
1/4” OD X ½ “L
1/4” OD X 1”L

Item 4) (Second item from the left)
FEMALE 1/4” coupling

item 5) (far right)
Standard sized copper pipe connectors which is around 1/2” OD and come in copper. Three of them are in the picture (has to be able to fit inside the pipe but not too snugly as you will use electrical tape to make it snug

item 6)
Black electrical tape

item7)
Pipe cutter (far right)

item8)
flat black spray paint

item9)
sand paper
120/200/1000 grit


item10)
Epoxy/JB weld

item11)
a ruler or you can print one from this site

ARE YOU READY ARE YOU PSYCHED???

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!


Ok so for starters here's a diagram/cross section of my silencer...

Step 1)
use pipe cutter to cut the pipe to desired length. Approximately 15.5 CM for those who plan to use the standard plan. Those who plan to make the long silencer must lay out the pipe and the attatched pieces side by side to determine where the silencer ends.

Step 2)
after cutting the pipe you will notice that its horriably disfigured...the easy way to fix this is to take your 120 grit sand paper and lay it on the table rough side up and put the end part's jagged area and start sanding it in a circular motion similar to using a mortar and pistol. Do this for both sides until the ends are completely smooth. It helps you later on when you epoxy...make sure both sides stand level.

Step3)
sand down the whole pipe...basically all you have to do is sand with the 120 grit...then progressive finer and finer until you finish off with the 1000 grit. Don't bother sanding the ends yet just the body...

Step4)
start by connecting the pipes until it is similar to my cross section. Remember those who plan to use the longer silencer that your female coupling will be in the middle so you will have to have to have a copper connector on both ends to make it stable.

Step5)
Start wrapping the non threaded ends of the 3” Brass nipple and until you can snugly fit the copper connector in. Do the same thing for the female coupling however there will be no copper connector over this one.

The threaded end that connects to the gun must be left clean or untouched

Step6)
Wrap the copper connectors so that they fit snugly into the PVC pipe



Step7)
Coat the inside of the whole pipe with expoy and push the internals through until you have the threaded end pertruding at the end and the excess epoxy out the other side.


Your business end of the silencer will look like this to begin with...however it will look normal after you fill out the hole and then dremel it out after it cures it will look really nice. What I did was use paper to plug up the barrel then used a quarter to press it flat so that all the epoxy is even. Afterwards youll will need to sand it down again and dremel out the hole

Step 8) the hardest part...
Wait wait and wait until it all dries i suggest you make sure the barrel is clean and no epoxy is inside as it is a bitch to clean out afterwards...do this buy pushing a pencil with a cotton swab until you reach the other end (DO NOT PULL IT BACK let the pencil go through)

Step9)
Sand down the end using my method or use a dremel to make it look convex/bulged out

Step10)
Clean the surface of the pipe using mild soap on a cloth and dry up all the water afterwards

Step11)
paint the silencer but make sure it is elevated from the ground by using some useless crap...

Step 12)
Enjoy the fruit of your labour...

Looks good...can we see any completed pics?

[Kwokwai]

Need a bigger cross-sectional pic. This one's really hard to read.

[yanhchan]

The paint is still drying maybe tomorrow I will have a complete pic. I have no idea why the cross sectional pic is soo small. I guess photobucket resized it. But if you right click and just copy the url of the cross section it will link to a larger pic.

Nope. Same tiny pic.

[yanhchan]

OK the whole thing is finished and painted...totally updated...i can't seem to find a way to make the cross section anylarger...so your best bet is to save the pic and just zoom in....

[sam0182]

Looks good...can't wait to see it on the gun.

What was your total cost?

I tried to clear the pics a little...

[yanhchan]

total cost was around 20-25 dollars due to no spray paint but I had tools so yeah...

Pipe. 5 bucks
Internals total 7-9 bucks
Paint and sand paper was like 5

Already tried that. The pic is so pixelated I can't read any of the text. It's also 232x180 when I try that. What's your original size? Is it just me or are the other pics really out of focus?

Don't mean to be a pain but I just want to see the fruits of your labour as I wouldn't mind trying it out.

[yanhchan]

THE CROSS SECTION IS NOW AN ATTATCHMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST POST YAY...thanks KID for helping me!

[Lucky_Bastard]

Is it compatible to WELL R5/A5?

[yanhchan]

LOL why did you get a WELL???? And I'm not sure but you could try,,,whats the point...its a WELL...further more....how did you get a WELL...no god fearing retailer stocks them...I think its a bad idea to even add any weight onto the barrel of the gun. I've had WELL guns before and they are complete pieces of garbage in terms of durability

[Lucky_Bastard]

Well you could say that.. that's just my 1st AEG. But I Currently using T.M. MP5/A4 And ICS Arms A1 R.I.S. AEG I'm just wondering if it would work.

[sam0182]

Hit up Arnies...I know there were a few threads on the R5 there. Also check ASR - www.airsoftretreat.com

Not many of the new WELL line-ups are in Canada.

[yanhchan]

Its a small gamble...but i say just buy the part and see if it threads onto the gun. Don't buy everything just the threaded part...
