Pretty much, but putting a 455mm long barrel on an MP5 is kinda like Krazy gluing a house fly to a dildo, people will wonder "WHY!?!"
I have a custom cut 330mm inner barrel in my MP5SD that works great, and there is no reason to bother going longer than that. And I got a 20fps increase from the standard 229mm length too.
Regarding adding other parts to it, maybe you should outline why you'd want to based upon what you are looking for. When my MP5A5 shot around 360fps, I only had the spring, spring guide and bushings upgraded, Guarder clear hop up rubber, stock inner barrel, and I could clear 200ft using 0.28g BBs with it easily. Upgrading more than you need sometimes doesn't net you anything in the end except a reduced bank account, sometimes it does net you something worthwhile, other times it just causes more problems than it's worth. Upgraded parts aren't always more reliable than stock parts.
