Midwest Industries Mp5/Mp5K Tall 5 Slot 1913 Optic Mount
The Midwest Industries MP5/MP5K Tall 5 Slot 1913 Optic Mount is a precision-machined aluminum mounting solution designed to bring modern optics to your HK MP5, MP5K, or compatible clone platform. This tall picatinny rail mount holds your red dot sight in a comfortable, upright shooting position while preserving your ability to use backup iron sights. Whether you run an AP5, Zenith ZF-5, or MAC clone, this American-made mount delivers the reliability serious shooters expect without the gunsmith visit.
Built from hard coat anodized 6061 aluminum, the mount weighs just 3.3 ounces and spans 3.5 inches, striking a balance between a compact footprint and robust construction. The design accommodates a 5-lug 1913 picatinny rail interface as well as T2/Acro pattern optics, giving you genuine flexibility in sight selection. Installation requires no special tools—everything you need comes in the box. The pass-through channel design means your irons stay in the fight, a feature that matters whether you're drilling at the range or counting on a backup at a critical moment.
Midwest Industries engineered this mount with a patent-pending rock-solid design and backs it with a lifetime warranty. It's 922R compliant for clone rifle builds and optimized for 9mm platforms, though fitment on .40 cal or 10mm receivers may be problematic. If you're running a .22LR MP5, this mount won't work for your platform. For anyone serious about bringing an MP5 into modern accuracy standards, this is a no-nonsense, American-made choice.
