Strike Industries SI-2017 MP5 Thing

[KalashniKEV]

Looks cool.

I wonder what it will cost and if it will run?

I could see that even if you had a pack and housing laying around, one would need to add:

$169 - Barrel
$55 - Front Trunnion
$449 - Complete BCG
$20 - Charging Handle
SIG Stock - $300 (Whoa!)

~$1000 Total





I think the barrel is MRP-ish?

Reminds me a little of that Special Weapons SP10 piece of crap.

Also wouldn't that push pin receiver be a "post sample" machine gun?

I guess, a little. That was blowback though, I think.

I don't see why it would.

The upper receiver is the control part on the MP5.

Actually it was just the same SW5 crap, in a crappy plastic shell.

I don't see why it would.

Yes, and in the upper receiver, right behind the magazine well, is a swing hole for a push pin lower. Keep in mind I've never even heard of this company so I know nothing about them. But on my factory HK machine guns, that is the part that makes them a machine gun...forever.

It's a different gun.

No different than the "air gap" in a DSA FAL (Upper is the Control Part, Made in the USA).

Since the upper is the control part on HK firearms, I thought that hole was very similar to having the third hole on an AR15 lower receiver for an auto sear, right? Even if you don't have a sear installed, the presence of the third hole on an AR15 lower means it's classified as a machine gun in the eyes of the ATF.

In the case of HK stuff, the swing hole allows a push-pin factory full-auto lower to be installed. This is why USA made HK clones have a shelf and no swing hole.

Other people with more NFA and machine gun knowledge please chime in.

SP10 was roller delay as well. Just poorly executed and heinously ugly. The presence of the pushpin hole behind the magwell makes for a Machinegun receiver UNLESS there is a FA bolt carrier block within the receiver as is found on the POF and MKE imports or in the SP5K.

MKEs and POFs have the 'swing hole', but the guns have been modified in such a manner as to preclude the easy installation of a select-fire trigger and housing. I see no reason why Strike Industries couldn't follow the paths of MKE and POF rather than doing as H&K still do or PTR-91, Inc (who probably do as they do because it was the easiest, least expensive way to manufacture an HK91 clone).

Thanks for the clarification!

This thread has successfully furthered my resentment of everything ATF... Yay.

Good info though
