I saw a 5.7 upper somewhere, and can't find it anywhere online now. It took standard p90/ps90 mags, and ejected through the AR magwell. Anyone else see this, and who makes it? Link? |
| www.rhinelandarms.com Don't know if they are available yet though. |

I was wondering... Excluding the cool factor, wouldn't it be easier, cheaper, and more practical to make an upper and magwell adapter that used the FN FiveSeven pistol magazines instead? My logic on this is... The FiveSeven pistol is not that expensive. I actually know a couple of guys who own them, and almost bought one myself. The P90 on the other hand is way more than I want to spend ($1599+). So for the guys who own the pistol, but can't afford the rifle or would rather not invest that much into it, wouldn't the more traditional styled upper with magazine conversion block of some type make more sense? If there were such an upper and conversion block, I'd certainly buy one, and then go get a FiveSeven pistol to go along with it. I don't mean "instead of", but rather "in addition to" or more to the point, "first, to gauge the true interest"? I always favor the "make both" option.

Onslaught, I'd say it would DEFINITELY be easier to do a conventional pistol cal. conversion, but you know the 50 round mags with downward ejection is AWEFULLY high on cool factor. One of the things I like (and this would/could also carry over to a more conventional upper conversion) is the P90-like ambi side cocking action. Combine that with the downward ejection and you've really minimized any gases coming at your face/eyes. I'd LOVE something like this. I've shouldered a PS90 and didn't like the ergonomics as much as those or an AR. I'd happily deal with the expense of the magazines (and ammo) for something that combined features of an AR15 and PS90. B. |
