I’m not sure if they can get the $1000 range.

At that, this has now been teased for years.

Wow so they made a front sight.

Here’s a screenshot of an article. I held one in 2018

The people buying MP5s / Clones don't care how cheap a 9mm AR that uses Glock mags can be had for.....it's not what they are interested in......

In

I have two H&K Mp-5’s but can add more

Thinking the same, you are not alone.

Will it take Glock mags?

Gross. Why would you want anything to?

Well it’s back to the PSA lost a customer thread....

We know who didn't get the memo.

Yeah... I think we're gonna need proof of life.

They showed the whole thing at LAST YEARS SHOT SHOW. Now just a front site. Stop putting out teasers and put out a gun. Maybe surprise everyone when you actually release it.

The marked will be... interesting, that’s for sure. The MP5 itself is way old school compared to what’s out there now for 9mm sub guns. Collectors will go the true HK route, but the intrigue of finally getting an 80s icon will get the same guys who were part of the uzi craze a few years back.

Ok first I am a proud South Carolinian and I am no way affiliated with PSA.  I don't even know the name of a single employ.

With that said here is a reality check for all the bitching and moaning with MP5 or shipping etc etc.
 PSA started as a small company and in many ways they still are. They have experienced extremely rapid growth in a very crowded market in a very short amount of time. Anyone who runs or owns a business that has had rapid growth knows it is a blessing and a complete nightmare.   Literally your scrambling to create new systems and positions on the fly. While it may sound great to stop take a breath and control growth you have to strike while the iron is hot. Otherwise the opportunity may not be there.
 PSA has literally turned the market upside down in a way that favors the buyer.  Add to that they are based in and made in the USA.  That is a big deal despite the members here who would continue to step on their neighbors throat to buy a Norinco clone or a chicom Spyderco counterfeit.    If you don't like the days of $600 FN CHF barrels, 60 Lowers, $70 tool craft BCG and 10 free p-mags with a regular priced Vortex Sparc then go buy from someone else.

Everyone on the AK boards used to dream of a Vityaz and PSA delivered the PK-AV. Aside from the purest most dreamed of a day you could buy a quality USA made AK. PSA delivered. Affordable 9mm AR's that work. Delivered. .22lr conversions, $300 S&W shields that allowed the poors to have a good handgun, AR's in 7.62x39, Affordable AR10's, $100 Build Kits.  I can keep going but you get the point.  All that from a small company with a warehouse in Columbia SC.    WIth all their resources not one of the big guys ever gave so much to the firearms community.    While companies like Colt,DD, RRA,Glock, HK etc etc are chasing military contracts PSA is making VA "Sic Semper Tyrannis" lowers and donating money to the VCDL.

Now I do realize PSA has had their hurdles and issues with the AK and other new projects.  As it pertains to this thread and the MP5 it is what it is.  Sure they bring a lot of it on themselves with way to early announcements etc I get that . Yes they have had some design issues they had to go back and correct. They still have done so much with so little compared to the Colts/HK's of the world.   With all that said you may want to consider cutting them a little slack. Or if you don't want to wait pay the extra cash and buy a PTR, Zenith, POF or a HK they are out there now.

I don't mean to get so worked up but I vividly remember a time when $800-900 min you had a choice of a neutered RRA,Bushmaster or Colt.  I remember buying my first build parts from model 1 sales.
Those days sucked compared to now.   It's a free country so ultimately cry like a baby if you want.   Maybe just maybe you would stop and appreciate a company trying to bring so much within reach affordably.

Greatly exaggerated not somewhat exaggerated

Next year they’ll post another part for SHOT 2021

The MP5 could use some updates I agree.  Including B&T there isn't better suppressor host in 9mm from the point of how soft it shoots with no gas in your face.
B&T is really nice but still a glorified blowback with a hydraulic buffer.  The MPX is way heavy for it's design and for those that shoot suppressed the gas in face sucks.

When the roller locked Stribog gets here that will be huge IMO.  They would be wise to make it compatible with the CZ mags if they want to really take the market.

So yes the MP5 is older but for now still the golden standard IMO.

"available next shotshow...for more pics and press releases"

2/10

Ship sailed .....they waited too long

If it has taken them 3 years for just manufacturing the front sight and a pin, what does that extrapolate out to for time to manufacture the entire weapon????


Seriously -- they've been working on an MP5 clone for how many YEARS now?   If it is taking them that long, I'm more than a little leery that they'll actually be able to pull off a "cheap MP5 clone that actually works and is sturdy".

We're NOT talking the creation of a brand new weapon platform -- just the CLONING of one that is 50 years old, and has already been cloned successfully by others.

With the advent of the "licensed" POFs at $1399, I would think PSA would have to come in at (or under) the $999 mark to be successful with a clone.   Can they do that and still have a reliable, well-made clone?  Heck, their AKV's are $800, and those can be mostly be made from a garbage can, a stone and a block of wood -- I'm exaggerating, of course, but the point is, the AK platform is not NEARLY as complex as an MP5, and its price is already very near what their MP5 clone would have to sell for.

God bless them for trying, but I'm skeptical.

This forum really needs a "Like" button!

$1000 mp5?  I can only dream.  Wonder what it will be priced at.

They took too long, and I stopped waiting. I ended up getting a ptr.

They had it at the NRA show with a big sign "do not touch". I personally heed thier advice.

The MP5 is not the AR15. Building them is not the same and you don't get to rely on the reputability of CNC machining to assemble a lego gun. This actually require welding and proper alignment of parts which is a skill that I doubt PSA has the patience or skill to deal with.

I have an HK on order.

If PSA ever produces one I’ll probably get it too.  Leave it a pistol as I’m going to SBR my SP5.

$899 and it would always be sold out.

$999 would be hugely competitive... and they would be always sold out.

I think $1199 to $1299 is where the price will land, and that would still be pretty good.

Yup, already bought PTR and Zenith.

I'll have a full order of fail and 2 sides of disappointment please

I'll take that one and leave the gun and the dress for you guys.

My thoughts as well. I bet they roll them out around 1200 and slowly roll it down to under a G.

Anyone who thinks their Zenith wouldn't drop in price, or that PSA wouldn't sell out, has no understanding of the market

Double want

Already got a Zenith.  Countries in war, under arial bombardment  have developed and produced firearms quicker.  Maybe they have to mine the same unobtainium as HK to produce them.

I’ll buy right now, and when they tell me 6 month wait I won’t bitch and moan at the 5 month point like the guys about Geissele taking the full 8 week lead time.

Yes the AliExpress of firearms. Quite the treasure.

PSA cock tease!

I damn well hope not

Better chance tapping that hottie then tapping the trigger on a PSA Mp5!

Personally I lost all interest in one at this point.

Maybe once I see people posting pics and videos of shooting them, I might get a tingle in my pants again. For now, I'm fine with my suppressed 5.5" SBR 9mm AR.

Obviously YMMV

Elbows too pointy.
MP5 too fake.

Today only!!!

Every PSA5 purchased comes with a free Magpul Masada & a case of Black Talons.
