Ra 5.7 Uppers

Anyone here what the deal is? Did they decide not to make them?

I would think now the PS90 is available their niche market is gone.

BTW, yes I know it's not a good defensive round. Yes, I know it sucks. Yes, I know the 50 round magazines reportedly have spring problems. It's not a matter of 'need' or a 'defensive tool' it's a range toy, nothing more.

For those that don't know what Dport s talking about: http://www.rhinelandarms.com/

I have not heard anything new about it.

I am hearing from I-Shot that they are getting a lot of requests for for them to create a discreet case for the P90. So there LE agencies running them.

On another board I was told by a Rhineland customer that they were trying to catch up on R22 production. This was about a month ago, but you could try calling them at 972-342-2105.

With that said, I think their R22SD (MP5SD like) looks like a cool little rimfire.

I had a lower set aside just for the 5.7 upper, but I'm thinking of getting another POF upper instead. In fact, unless a miracle happens I think I'm going for the piston gun.

Hi Dport,
Regarding the POF upper, I was about this close >><< to buying one. Their reliability/cleaning claims were impressive. I am not a fan of the rail they use, and was considering the upper that uses M4-looking handguards. But after reading this post at 10-8, I decided that I would give another year to hear more feedback (and the Colt 1020 should be out by then).

I figure that the instructors that posted in that thread see more AR variants in the same hard-use conditions that I would put my weapon through, so their input ways more with me than the average poster. Also, no one I know personally has one, so it is a pretty expensive guinea pig for me to test with.

I have a 13.6 POF with a Krink perm attached. I have the M4 handguards. I have no need for a full rail system. I love the gun. IMO the recoil is less than the HK416, and it's damned easy to clean. The only problem I had with it was of my own making.

Since this 5.7 upper is vapor-ware and doesn't seem likely to manifest anytime soon, I'm thinking about a 14.5 with a phantom perm attached, with an Accupoint in a LaRue mount.

I think its a cool innovation if it works. Peru uses the 5.7 for CQB. I have an FN FiveSeven and boy a 30rd mag weighs as much as an 8rd 1911 mag. If it was legal to have the SS190 rounds it would really make it worth it.
