9R PTR 608 Question
Hello all,
I just purchased this rifle and I am experiencing an issue. Being I live in a state where I am only able to use 10 round magazines the stock mag was replaced with 5 MP5 polymer 10 round mags. My first time at the range and the mags aren't feeding properly. I have to firmly press up from under the mag to chamber each round individually. After one mag I stopped as I didn't want to force to the point of possible damage. The rifle has been used so it's not a "break in issue". I've experienced similar issues with other rifles (TNW .40 cal ASR when using a S&W rather than the Glock mag due to forgetting said mag on range day, worked but not optimal). My assumption is the mags are a little short. I'll add a photo of 1 (I have 5 all the same). Any suggestions are much appreciated. If I have to I will contact TPR but if I can resolve myself I would like to. It shoots extremely true with the iron sights and it's a beautiful piece but this issue is stopping me from real use. Magazine Specs: ETSGROUP.US MP5 9mm 10 Round Thanks! |

The rifle failed to feed unless you pushed the mag up. How exactly did the cartridge fail to feed? Did the bullet go into the chamber at all? A picture of the misfed cartridge will help.

MP5 owner here.
the polymer mags are trash. This is what you need. Get ready for some sticker shock though... https://hkparts.net/product/10-round...5k-p17872.htm/

Well Willie it ain't buying the farm but yeah basically I need something LEGIT MP5. Will buy one (which I am pretty certain will work, bought a SCCY .9mm pistol same deal , was sent 2 new mags and a recoil spring (didn't even use) and that was the issue). If one does the job I will grab a few. I will sell these polymers. I probably won't add "these are trash" in the title lol. I can see the wear an tear on them from very little use and do concur. Living in a non friendly firearm state we run into this kind of nonsense often. Thanks for the link! If it doesn't help I will post more (same if it does as I did on the SCCY thread). Thanks guys!

Yes Willie that did the trick. not cheap but H&K beats the heck out of those polys. Hopefully I can now offload the 5 I have and pickup a second mag. And BOY is this PTR a WONDERFUL rifle. I just had me some close to midnight just me at the range time and ACCURATE is an understatement. I would LOVE to see this with a SEAR and the fun switch set to F! =)

Glad you got it working and a new mag was an easy, if not cheap fix.
