Is the charging handle still easy to use with the brace extended/collapsed?
Could anything be added (in your opinion) to make it able to charge from the left side? |

I was set to receive email notifications when in stock on 4 websites. Grab a Gun was first to get one. Paid too much, but I go pick it up tomorrow morning from my FFL. $539 plus shipping, tax, transfer fee. But I am OK with that. I did see one on a gun store shelf for $499, but I was out of state. Would have bought it otherwise. |

Thanks yall, I will keep waiting. I have a buddy about to pull the trigger and I think if I can find one for 459.00 he will buy it. I wouldn't mind shooting his before buying one myself.

Well, that was apparently cheap enough. He ordered one.
Now does anyone know where to get the 50 round extensions? I swear I am usually better at finding stuff than this... |

Picked mine up today. Did a quick test fire with Blazers. I loaded the mags to 32rds, since with 33 it seemed to have a hard time closing the action. I am fine with 32;)
Ran all 64 rounds perfect. My slide stop seems useless as I cannot get it to drop the slide or even move once it is locked back. It works for LRBHO, so I am fine sling shoting with the charging handle. The mag loader I bought didn't work real well. Maybe I am doing something wrong. The good thing is that the mags are pretty easy to load by hand. My 3 extra mags came later today, so I am set with 5 mags. The only thing that hasn't shipped yet it the brace adaptor and brace. Hope that ships soon, want to get it all set up. Pleased so far. Glad it runs with Blazers, those are ny new go to. They do smoke alot. Will try others as well, that is part of the fun. |

I put about 200 rounds through mine, all ran perfectly.
What loader did you get? I received the American Speedloader today, and I loaded both my mags in about 60 seconds perfectly, no rim locks. I've got the Farrow Tech brace on order also, but the shipping speed is lacking. Got the tracking number 3 days ago, but it still hasn't been delivered to USPS. |
|
|
I have the same loader. I get 6 or ao round in amd it won't push down amymore. I pull out the mag an a few rounds are hanging out randomly...then it is difficult ro remove them. I will keep trying.
The piece inside that pushed the bullet was a bit jacked up feom the beginning, like it was a bad 3D print but went out anyway...that is mt thought anyway. It will be retuned. |
|

Ok, I am working with it and it seems to be getting better.
Now it seems to load, but the inside mag sleeve seems to stick in the "pushed down" position and I have to pull it and wiggle it to pop it back up....but, it is working much better. |
|
O.K....I sold all my HKs, but I have to keep my Identity!

Sometimes those 3D printed parts can have rough edges...it may need to be worked in a bit to smooth things up.

Short range trip today. So far 224 perfectly fired rounds without a hitch.
Using 5 different mags and the following ammo: Federal bulk Aguila standard velocity non plated tip Federal Automatch CCI Blazers I haven't found anything it doesn't like. I will tey some Remington golden, that should screw it up;) Very fun gun. Farrow says my brace should ship Tuesday. I assume I will not have it for my next Saturday shooting trip:( If I come up with enough money, I would love to have 10 mags total. |
|
O.K....I sold all my HKs, but I have to keep my Identity!
|
I've been running Fed Auto Match with zero issues, but it's good to know that it likes a variety of ammo.
Least expensive mags I've seen were $47 at Prepper Gun Shop, but nothing under that...not a cheap magazine, but if it works I have no complaints. I do love the speed loader. My FarrowTech brace adapter arrives tomorrow...my Tailhook arrived yesterday. I'm really looking forward to putting it all together. Now, I just have to find a case/bag to carry it in. |

Looks nice.
I wonder if I will need to raise my Holosun. It seems about right, but I don't have my brace yet. We shal see. |

Picked up a cp33 tonight. Went by my local dealer to pick up a transfer and just happened to ask if he has had any cp33s come in. He said one should be coming by ups in a few minutes. Paid $479 out the door. All ready had my tailhook adaptor and a holosun 407c waiting.

Looks good. How's the height of your red dot? Still deciding if I need to raise mine up a little bit.

Well, a shipping label was created for my Farrow brace. C'mon already.....must complete CP33!
One step closer😁 |

So how is the accuracy of these things? Anyone group it at 50 yards?

Anyone know when the 50 round mags will be available? I hate having leftovers with the 33 rounders.

Received my brace today.
I found it ran into the weak side safery lever (right side) when collapsed. It would slightly bend the arm out a little. I removed that side safety lever and all is good. Hopefully you don't need that on for it to stay in the gun...doesn't seem like it. I have the Holoson on the standard factory mount and it is a bit low, but I can make it work with more of a cheek bone weld. Will see how live fire goes, may need a riser or new mount. The brace adaptor is nicely done, I have to remember this setup is just for fun, because I doubt it would stand up to any hard use at all, but that is fine. I have other guns for that. Hope to shoot it a bunch on Wednesday. I am pleased so far. Attached File |

anybody file down their bolt catch? It's angled so it practically locks to the bolt, making the release unusable. Looking at it, don't see why you can't file it to make it closer to 90 deg.

Tag. Semantics is a stupid reason to get a really interesting thread locked. I'm trying to decide if I want to live out my MP7 fantasy here so please don't be pedantic.

To chamber, hold the firearm in your shooting hand with the safety lever on SAFE (lever up), keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger outside the trigger guard, pointing forward.

Remove the empty magazine (pg. 11). If you wish to continue firing, insert a loaded magazine, and slap the butt of the magazine to ensure it is fully seated. Then push down the slide release or pull back and release the operating handle to chamber another round. If your slide stop doesn't work like a slide release...then use the charging handle. It's not difficult, in fact, it's much easier. |

Shot about another 200 rounds through it today. Fun stuff.
The included mount for the Holosun is high enough for me. Since there is basically no recoil, you can hold it in real tight with you face planted into the arms of the brace with no discomfort when shooting. Sems it likes many different ammos, you just need to make sure you load the mags right. The brace is bendy, but it is fine. I may make some little end plugs, as the way it comes looks unfinished to me. I may also make them with a "head" on, because the first time I extended the brace at the range, I pulled it off the gun. Trigger is great, it was easy to sight it, etc.. I returned my first mag loader because it did not work well at all. I hope/assume I got a lemon..and I just ordered another one. Since it seems to like all ammo, I may base it's diet on whatever ammo seems to load the best with the new loader. From shooting it and 3 other rimfires today, I have narrowed my cheap ammo choices down to 4 now: Federal Automatch, CCI blazer 38 grain bulk, Armscor HPs and Federal Black Pack. I have 4 rimfires to clean now. Must have shot almost 1500 rounds total today The only other gun I brought to shoot was my .50 Beowulf SBR.....I made the mistake of shooting that last....haha. Felt like shooting a cannon compared to the .22s. |

I retutned my original mag loader and ordered a new one. Got it today. Loaded 5 different mags with 5 different ammos and it worked perfect.
I obviously did have a lemon the first time. Game changer😁. I have at least 800+ rounds through it now with only 1 failure to feed. |

American Speedloader has a vid of their loader:
Keltec CP33 speedloader from American speedloaders |
|
|
That is the one I have.
First one was a piece of $hit.....the replacement works like a dream. Due to that loader, I may not buy anymore mags. The 5 I have may be good. With the loader, I can reload mags quickly and easily at the range. |

I think this fills the gap for the MP7 for me. I also like that it is very light weight, and easy for everyone around me to shoot, and enjoy. Why HK never made a MP7 in 22LR says they just have so much money, Its Crazy! LOL.
