Well I was going to send everything out to Bingo when I got it all, but I'd like to find out if anyone has insight on getting a v2 rev3 FE into the MP5. I can do my own selector plate and nozzle work. Is there anything else I need to know?

bump. Hoping to order a FE by summer time and want to see about doing a self install.

Rev 3 is just take your existing selector plate and throw it on the FE to make everything work. Where the problems come in is when depending on what body, you might need a longer nozzle to cut down, or have a custom length model be made for you. SSD may be able to help you a little more with this. I'll tell him to look at this post

Would a standard MP5 nozzle be fine?

If I where you, I'd order everything and slip your selector plate on and add the special nozzle on and see what happens when you try to install.

Yeah, this is what I was hoping to do so I could save myself some hassle and money.

Most MP5 nozzles are the same size so try the P* mp5 nozzle first. The down side to doing a self install in a MP5 is where you want you battery and FCU located. If you front mount it you will have to do milling to the MP5 which is a pain if you don't have the proper tools. If you have a solid A4 style rear stock then you can mount the battery and FCU there and it should be a rather easy install. If you want an A5 or other variant stock on it the the battery and FCU will have to be front mounted.

The good news is I'll be sticking with an A4 stock. I'll see what I can do about self installing when the time comes and will report back.
