    Brownells has Magpul MP5 and Scorpion 50rd drums for $64 shipped.


    Summer15 takes 15% of entire order (not ammo).

    Free shipping and if you are clever you will choose the free 3-5 day over the free 5-7 day.
    I tried a Magpul drum on my MP5K when they first came out. It was damn near impossible to get in the gun as I have the K grip on it. Magpul was cool in refunding my money. I kind of think they new all along the K grip was a no go.

    I can see how it would be tight with the way the drum is angled forward. Worth a shot for $65 if you have a full size MP5 or Scorpion though.

    Since buying that Station Six I have been looking for a training suppressor, extra wipes for the suppressor that I'm still waiting on and the take down tool.

    After searching for all that I tried to contact B&T USA twice. Wanting what I want I emailed Switzerland and like magic I have there sales guy contacted me. Once I got through I was impressed.The training cans are on order & he is setting it me up with direct ordering just have my SOT include a copy of his FFL & SOT.

    While doing all that looking I found a B&T Station Six Shoulder Holster and ordered that today. Something else that I found was when when they where first marketing the gun as the VP9 (Veterinary Pistol) they sold a very slick case that held the pistol with a can and place foor the spare can, and some other things. He said he would ask Switzerland if they would ship some in.

    I gotta ask, what's a training suppressor?
    If it's literally what it's called, why are you wanting it?

    Or, do you add the wipes to it, and it becomes a suppressor?

    Weight and size of a real can without the sound supression...

    Could be used for training where suppressors are prohibited, your can is getting worked on or if you are a poor and just want the look

    The main suppressor has wipes which makes it quieter, but the wipes need replacing after 10 shots. The wipes are considered suppressors part and regulated as such.

    The training suppressors is a baffled suppressor. I believe it’s the same size and perhaps weight.

    Wipes can be made out of high temperature silicone sheets. You need to get a punch for cutting them out of the silicone. Another punch to cut an X in the middle of the wipe. B&T wipes retail for $53.00 for a set of four.

    This training suppressor has baffles and actually does suppress, it’s jus not as quiet.

    APMEX..........$34.33 per. Lowest I have seen in a LONG time for Libertads. That's cheaper than Eagles right now.

    Last year while in Mexico visiting my daughter I looked at getting some down there thinking they might be cheaper. Not that much it turned out. I could have saved some but decided to spend the money on her instead.

    I also occasionally use SD Buillion. Sometimes they are a little lower on things but they always charge shipping. With APMEX if you order a certain amount, I think $200, shipping is free. Just have to compare.
