Anyone who rushes out to buy a PSA MP5 is a bit crazy. Whenever they start making a new gun there are pretty much always issues with the early ones. Even their AKs have taken a while to get sorted out. Given the MP5 is notoriously difficult to get right, the odds of PSA getting it right out of the gate are pretty slim.

Psa sucks. They take so much of my money. Stupid ak is a daily deal at 529. They need a credit card like amazon so I can get 5% off.

I've been watching this release now for a bit... some of the videos/photos from shot show make it look like a dollar store MP5. Poor looking finish, incorrect furniture/setup. I'm trying not to be too much of a purist but hopefully they can fix the things I mentioned. Then you see others with the normal SEF trigger packs that make it look way better. Just hope they lengthen the barrel for the A3 forend and it could be killer.
With that being said, ANY MP5 style platform at or under $1000 that works without any hiccups would be an amazing thing if they pull it off. This could be big for PSA as pistol caliber carbines seemed to have really taken off. |

Still waiting patiently on the PSA-5.
But just make a roller locked upper that would work with existing AR lowers and I'll buy 10

Quote HistoryQuoted: Agreed. They just did the AK and posters here were bitching about "How dare they put their logo on it!" and "Where is muh MP5?!?!" Likely to hear logo complaints about this one too. That is rich. Palmetto has has shared more 2A love and kindness to us with their products tha HK ever did. I've no desire for an MP5 clone, but if I did, I'd insist the PSA logo is prominently displayed on it.

They can't hit their price point.. so they have decided to release one part per Shot Show. Maybe by 2048 you will have a complete gun. Itll only hurt a little every year.

Shot Show 2019: I was excited to see what PSA had for their MP5 and had money saved up for that.
Shot Show 2020: Have a Zenith Z5RS, Binary Trigger, and Rugged Obsidian 45 purchased and cleared since that time. Too little too late. I see most people that were interested in this have already moved on. Also looks like they aren't keeping it original. The front sight posted is modified to use an AR post.

To the best of my knowledge a completes set of MP5 production dies tooling jigs and fixtures is obtainable in one of two ways. Sign a licensing agreement with HK or make it from scratch. The first will be very very expensive. The second will be less expensive than the first but requires large sums of money and lots of machine time and engineering.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The market for an mp5 is smaller because of the current prices. When you can build a 9mm ar, that uses cheap glock mags, for under $600, a $1700+ mp5 clone is a hard sell for most people. I think if psa gets a reliable clone to market for $1000 or less, it will sell. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Jesus Christ, the people that tout the MP5 as some kind of be all end all are functionally restarted. I’ve got one, it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. No last round bolt hold, the mag well sucks. The ergos suck and it’s overly complicated for what it is. It’s main claim to fame is that it shoots smooth. So fucking what. It’s a 9mm they all shoot smooth. There are half a dozen PCCs on the market that blow it away in most camps for way less money. The greatness of the MP5 clone is that you can drop a registered sear into it. Yes, the magwell and ergos generally suck; but that bolt release is so '80's action flick cool!

So everyone saying its a no go because it took to long....if it hits the market for $800 in a month and has minor improvements but still retains 95% interchange and 100% functional principle/design (except maybe how they integrate LRBHO) , should you be a buyer or not interested at all.

PSA tries and I like them for that, even if they were a bit overly optimistic in their estimated release date. Same as Fostec. How long do they make their customers wait?
And I remember their humble beginnings. I bought some AK ammo from them when they were working out of a garage. Met me at the Food Lion grocery store in Blythewood to do the exchange and save me shipping to my home one mile away. I remember discussing this website with them and giving them props here hoping to give their sales a boost. I also recall discussing the possibility of building ARs for sale. I was still active duty back then and couldn’t swing two jobs. Glad to see where they are today. |

All things MP5 are a yawn fest for me. I just dont get it. I mean, if the design was so good why did HK stop making it?
I carried a few different models for some considerable time overseas and hated every single time I had to use it. Given that, bravo to PSA for trying and bringing so much goodness to so many. |
