https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/a5uggf/followup_pewpewtacticalcoms_visit_to_psa_answers/ Also, yes - the HK MP5 clone will use MP5 mags...but there will also be a "PSA" version that uses scorpion magazines! These will be two DIFFERENT versions, no mag well adaptors. The PSA version will also be able to take AR-15 trigger packs. View Quote |

Quoted: You guys are funny with what you think it will cost PSA to manufacture. The tooling for the stampings will be the most expensive part for them. They currently have the ability to forge, make barrels, stamp receivers, machine steel and aluminum, assemble components, and they have built a substantial partner network in the accessories arena for things like mags, stocks and small components. I think we all may be quite surprised by just how affordable PSA can make the system. View Quote |

BTW, the PSA MP5 is going to be based off of the reverse stretch model, correct?
What does that make the overall length? |

So, the big question is when and how much?

Looks great, I’ll take 1! Just need to know when and how much, please

I think PSA needs a real world tester. Someone that will put it through its paces and make sure that everything is ok before it’s released to the public. It would be a sacrifice but for the good of the hive I’d be happy to fall on that sword for you all. PSA, I’ll go ahead and pm you my shipping info. Please send me one of each model that you’re working on.

I know PSA just posted the pic, but if you watch the magpul video on arfcoms coverage it’s interesting what the rep says about the MP5 line. Almost like the only reason they decided to do it was because of PSA...
Could mean they are expecting them to fly off the shelves at a reasonable price for magpul to get spooled up for it. |

I'd like to throw out the idea of releasing a rifle stocked version which looks exactly like the SBR, but with a long barrel. That way we can put on a faux silencer while waiting for the SBR stamp to come back, and we never have to deal with pistol braces.

Quoted:
Barrels are not easily changed. I believe they are pressed and pinned in the trunnion, then the trunnion is welded in the receiver. Would be easier to cut and recrown the barrel than to swap it out. But what's easier than either of those options is to just use a fucking brace. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I wonder how they’d get around the wall thickness? The plastic has to be thicker than metal to be as strong. Doesn’t seem like they’d have much room to play with. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Quoted:
They made plastic mags that replaced metal ones for an AR, why wouldn't the same thing work on these? Unless the geometry puts a ton of strain on the mag but it doesn't seem like it. View Quote If you look at an MP5 mag, it is completely smooth with exception of a ridge towards to front to help keep the bullets aligned. I’d love to see Magpul make MP5 mags but I don’t see it happening without being a hybrid design using metal at the Maxwell area. |

He means that the walls of the magazine body must be thicker than with a metal magazine. So for the exterior dimensions to remain the same, the interior dimensions must shrink. The plastic mp5 magazines I've seen are longer in order to still accommodate 30 rounds. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Magpul isn't about "strong enough." That's why we can't have colored mags. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
They do? Obviously a plastic mag of similar wall thickness won't be as strong as a metal one but will it be strong enough? We don't have colored mags anymore because those polymers are not "strong enough". The question is, will a polymer mag within the geometry constraints be strong enough. I understand that what Magpul considers to be strong enough is above and beyond other magazine companies, so they may not ever release an MP5 mag. |

I may have missed it somewhere. But are there plans for a carbine version? (A2-A5) View Quote I am excited about the new PSA-5, but I do not want it unless I can get it in a carbine version. (A2-A5 style) either fixed or telescoping stock. Then all we will need to do is get our tax stamp and have the barrel cut/crowned. I would much rather have the carbine with the 8.9 inch barrel than one made from what I am seeing in the current pictures which look like a 4.5 inch barrel. If I am going to get a 9mm with that length barrel, it is going to be a actual pistol and not the MP5. THIS is what I want: https://hk-usa.com/hk-models/mp5-2/ |
