In this guide we help you find the best mp5 optic mount so you can modernize your MP5.


Here is what to look for in a good optic mount for the MP5:

  • 4 or more points of contact
  • Perfect alignment to the axis of the bore without offset
  • Quality material that doesn't flex during repeated recoils

The easiest way to install a sight on the MP5 is to install a claw mount on the receiver.

Our favorite is the Sphur Claw mount made from 7075 T6 Aluminum and you can get it here on OpticsPlanet.
