If anyone's looking for one of the elusive Otis cleaning kits, this place has them:
https://store.armyproperty.com/products/otis-cleaning-system-4-6mm-mp7-nsn-1005-01-605-8191.html The sale price is four bucks more than the price the Otis website lists for agency purchases. These don't seem to be available on the Otis site although I haven't called Otis to see if they have any in stock. Alternatively, there's one listed on gunbroker for $325 |

The kits have sold all the way up to $500 on GB so that pricing isn’t exactly out of line. |

Confirmed by several on HKPro but you can call Otis and order straight from them.

Will a kit come with the T7? “Stock” might have been a confusing term, inventory would be more specific. They had to get the warehouse guys go and actually lay eyes on the number of remaining kits they had. I bought the remaining 14 kits. 10 of the kits were included in the T4.6’s custom cut hard cases along with the armorer’s tools. The T7 will not come with a kit, as the T4.6 were parts kit builds with prototype receivers.

Got a cleaning kit ordered, any other goodies I need to pick up before the t7 arrives? Still debating on a optic

Still debating on a optic View Quote I ordered some airsoft sights from Hong Kong for $80 that'll get me through until regular priced mp7 sights are available if I even bother. They seem pretty decent from other reports. I already have the Zpoint/RSA red dot for it on my M11/9. i picked up an airsoft MP7a1 rear sling mount to test out, but will likely use either the magpul qd sling mount or the loop for a single point. Then Steiner CQBL and Vampire w/modbutton combo for IR/Light. B&T can when I decide whether I like the mp7 enough to keep, I have like 11 pdw/sub machine gun style things mix of f/a and semi going on, space is at a premium on my gun wall. |

Still debating on a optic View Quote Seems like every accessory associated with the MP7/T7 is sold out except for the flip grip and cleaning kits. I'd focus on the optic search, and I'm watching this thread and the HKPRO thread for info on the best optic mount that can co-witness with backup sites. |

First report on a pre-production model on HK forum says their gun was FTF and FTE with fiocchi but worked with 15 rounds of hornady black.
I only have fiocchi ammo so makes me a bit nervous. |

I imagine it’s about the exact same issue and lack of lubricant. |

I think someone on hkpro said tom suggested the griffin mk2 sights if you didn't want to go for hks.

I only have fiocchi ammo so makes me a bit nervous. View Quote Regarding the FTE, the pressure of the Fiocchi (FMJ or JSP) vs any other offerings (Hornady, S&B, or RUAG) is anywhere from 150 MPa to 275 MPa less. Hornady has the highest pressure. But when you consider Hornady was toping the scale at approximately 375 MPa the Fiocchi numbers are rather shocking. Regarding the FTF, JSP will always be an issue feeding. The Hornady should be more reliable than a lead point, but still more friction than FMJ. |

Set up instock notices people and use your phone number as the email so they come as a text. Just check your provider, usually something like [email protected], mile high shooting had 40rd mags for $89.95 Gone in seconds, don't get greedy and try order 50, go for two smaller orders after
The first one goes through. Hopefully my 15 ship. Done with mags! Maybe to trade for a 20rd one and some 30s I've found I get the fake email texts way faster than the emails through att and alerts me instantly. hopefully more vendors get stock. Nature is healing! |

I’ll probably get some 40 rounders from the second large drop Hk sends. The first large drop will be sold out with guys who lived through the AWB buying 30, and then 28 of them will sit unopened in their packaging forever.
Yeah I’ve been around this gun hobby for a while. |

In 2024, nods and passive is what keeps you alive.
My home defense AR still has white light but a raid gun like this has a slightly different use case. |
