I have not read good things about those. I have a friend who bought one a few years ago & got rid of it.

Fun toy. I don't know if I would spend the money on it. I do know however that I would max out a credit card for one in 9mm.

Here in the Republik of tree huggers and nancy boys they are in short supply. I have a deposit on 3 ( one for myself and one each for my sons ages 8 & 10). The lead time is supposed to be about 3 months. The threaded barrel cover on it is neat. My hunting buddy has one and I was sold.

I have been waiting for 5 months for a upper for the custom AR I am building from scratch to arrive. Been training with a mentor who is working on my ultra long range shooting, long live the 50 cal

I just got a Gatling gun rig for my 10/22's

H&K or some other company should see the potential in a real MP5 or MP5 clone and start making some quality firearms available.
