If you want a clean, low-profile way to mount a picatinny optic on an MP5-style gun, this little Dophee rail does the job without fuss. I’ve had one on a replica MP5 BB gun for over a year, and it’s been rock solid, no loosening, no creep, nothing but plinking fun.

What it actually is and why it’s useful
This mount converts the receiver top to a 20mm Weaver/Picatinny rail, giving you a standard platform for red dots, compact scopes, or other small optics. It’s aluminum alloy, approximately 90mm long and 20mm wide, making it lightweight yet solid when fitted.
I like it because it’s unobtrusive. A full-length rail would look bulky and out of place; this keeps the profile low and tidy while still giving you the accessories you want. Fits MP5 and G3 style receivers that use the HK claw setup, the kind of mount you’d expect to see on airsoft, 22LR clones, and replica builds.
My experience, real, simple, reliable
I haven’t tried to torture-test it under extreme recoil (it’s been on airguns for me), but after a year of regular use, the mount remains stable and everything I’ve attached to it has stayed zeroed. Installation was straightforward, the package includes screws and a little allen key, and once tightened, it didn’t require retorquing. For casual shooting and plinking it’s been flawless.
That said, I wouldn’t pick it for a hardcore, battle-grade firearm setup that needs mil-spec tolerances and lifetime wear guarantees. For most hobbyists and airgun use cases, though, it’s a brilliant, low-cost option.
The price point makes this a no-brainer. It’s cheap enough to keep a spare in the kit drawer and flexible enough to move between builds if you need to. If you ever find yourself with a claw-style receiver and want a convenient Picatinny rail, this is the fastest fix.
Final Thoughts
Clean lines, easy fit, and dependable performance for airgun and replica MP5/G3 use, what more do you need? It’s small, light, and saves you from a lot of headaches when you want to run modern optics on older receivers.
