I really like it, and yeah, you were close! It’s a 32mm non-illuminated scope with a 3x-9x variable zoom. And it is in fact meant for .22LR - I picked it up brand new for a measly 250 PLN (~$60)

Granted, I rarely, if ever, use the higher zooms, because neither my MP5 or my cheap sniper rifle are accurate enough to make use of that kind of magnification.

And that prism sight looks real nice! I don’t mind having a basic scope, since I’ve gotten quite decent at hip firing at close range, so I’d rather have the added power a scope like that provides.

And since you’ve shared your build, I’ll share mine, in my dingy old garage back when I was cleaning it.

That’s one’s without the foregrip and the laser module attached. It’s quite literally a poor man’s G3, but hey, as long as it works.

It is a CYMA. In retrospect, I think a railed grip like yours would have been more practical than my SD, but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock.

If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don’t use lasers. Lasers introduce real world eye safety hazards, some more than others, but none of them are great. Especially cheapo lasers from aliexpress or wherever can sometimes be stronger than listed because neither the buyers or sellers tend to care. My laserbox is fake an is only an external battery compartment for the gun.

  but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock My stock is also foldable, actually! Emphasis on foldable, as yours looks to be actually collapsible.
  
  If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don’t use lasers Very, VERY valid point, and yeah, I don’t use my laser at all, really - it functions as tacticool decor more than anything else. I forgot to mention it’s a laser+flashlight module, with a function to switch on either or both, and so I always basically use the flashlight and nothing else.

    I saw the button to fold yours but didn’t see a seam, so didn’t know if it was just fixed with some cosmetics. I really like bringing the stock in both for close quarters and even for being in the woods to very easily get behind the scope while wearing a mask.
    
    I have a friend who got an MP5K and it is even better in close quarters.
