If you want delayed blowback and modern ergos in 9mm, get an MPX for the cost of an MP5 clone or something like a CMMG Banshee for much less. I don't understand Magpul on this one... Most people are buying replicas of a 60 year old platform because they want a
classic. Who's buying a $1500-3000 rifle, wanting to really fuck with it, then shopping on price alone? IMO their promo image
for their lower really showcases how out of touch Magpul is on this one:
- New plastic lower complete with angular styling to clash with the roundness of the MP5's stamped receiver and sights.
- Yet another plastic handguard, with the same awful angular styling as the lower, that you can screw an adapter into for mounting a light.
- An AR folding stock adapter on an AR stock adapter complete with a Magpul stock (obviously) that you probably never need to extend after the first 5" of adapters.
- Welded rear and front rails to use the MBUS Pro
- ...and a trilug barrel with a can threaded on
There's hundreds of things people are clamoring for Magpul to develop but it seems they brought to market what should have been an April Fool's joke.
