Zenith mp5 clone

Anybody have one of the Zenith clones? A friend just purchased one and hasn't figured out haw to install the included muzzle device. Looks like you should just lift or squeeze the lever, but it's stiff as hell. Any advise would be appreciated.

.....muzzle device?

Should work just like HK. The lever is a little tricky the first time. Maybe add some lubrication to the lever.

No problem. Every once in a while I'll have some positive input instead of complaining and berating people.

I can*t stand over complicated designes which serve NO purpose! Seriously, what is the purpose of having this tri-lug latch design for a muzzle attachment? Oh goodie* and at the end it has a significant amount of play. Oh yeah, that*s exactly what I like for parts on my firearms. Lots of PLAY & movement in parts! Just SCREAMS precision!

What happened to the tried & tested 15x1 threads?

Good quality tri lug mount is way more fun on a suppressor is way more fun than a threaded mount. Zero play. Now a muzzle break … 🤷🏼*♂️.

To the OP - zenith MP5 is my favorite plinker hands down. I hope your friend has a lot of fun with the purchase!

P.s. SBR conversion is absolutely worth the tax stamp (and the wait time).

Thanks! He's having a great time with it, once he figured the combination to get the tri lug on it.
