Wait 5 sec.

Military Armament Corporation's flashlight handguard for the MP5 is coming soon, and we now have all of the details. We first saw this light at SHOT Show 2026, and it generated a lot of excitement. They have listened to the customer, and the light accepts standard scout-style flashlight heads!MP5 @ TFB: New H&K SP5L – The MP5's Long Lost (Longer) Brother SILENCER SATURDAY #127: H&K SP5 Subsonic Ammunition Choices TFB Review: The Century Arms AP5-P MAC-5 & MAC-5K Pistols Now With Franklin Armory Binary TriggersMost MP5 fans are familiar with the Surefire flashlight handguard that was a common fixture on these guns in the 1990s and 2000s. Those lights are not cheap, and with the proliferation of MP5 clones on the market, there is demand for that kind of arrangement. MAC’s LMF takes that classic design and makes a few changes. The most obvious change is the light location. It sits lower than the original, leaving room for muzzle devices like silencers.It still incorporates a momentary and constant-on pressure switch, so you are free to activate the light either way. The light head itself uses standard scout threading, meaning it is compatible with other options on the market. The LMF is compatible with the company's MAC 5 (obviously), but is also verified to work with POF, MKE, Zenith, and H&K versions of the MP5, as well as HK53s. It retails for $199 and should be available soon. You can sign up for in-stock notifications on the MAC website. All images from Military Armament Corp.
