Schlank Flügelmann (SF5) Details
The Schlank Flügelmann 5 (SF5) is a 3D printable MP5 design created by Ivan the Troll.
The SF5 file package allows DIY 3D gun builders to construct a customized MP5 clone at home for much less than a factory MP5.
This MP5 is the latest of several released 3D printed mp5 designs, including the Kleiner Freund 5(KF5) and MP22(K/SD/Carbine).
The SF5 is named after the German word “Schlank Flügelmann” in reference to the sleek and slimmed profile of the 3D printed MP5 build.
The SF5 files offer compatibility with standard MP5 components, so builders can create 9mm, 10mm, or .40 S&W variations.
With eight different build options available, the SF5 can be tailored to match the exact MP5 parts a builder has on hand.
