Brownell‘s pushing “new“ Magpul MP5 furniture.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Looks like some usual slick Magpul stuff. I thought there was some kind of relationship between Magpul and Palmetto State? I wonder if this means that their MP5 clone is getting close to being pushed out.

Why do you think PSA and Magpul have a relationship?

Why is, "new," in quotes?

I just wish they’d develop a magazine. $75 a pop is a lot to think about when contemplating buying a firearm you’ve always wanted since watching Diehard for the first time as a kid.

Buy the Gen 3 KCI (Korean) mags. The Gen 1s had feed/reliability issues and are to be avoided. I have a couple Gen 2 and 10 (IIRC) of the Gen 3 mags and they have all worked just fine. Gen 3s have a better finish and are preferred. I don’t think I have ever seen a Gen 3 have any reliability issues with a semi-auto gun. I did see one have issues with a full auto. Spring needed to be replaced but I don’t know how much use that mag had seen as it wasn’t mine.

Not sure how much they are currently but I think I paid $25 each when I ordered the 10.

It's been a few years, and I don't remember the details but it was suggested that PSA paid for, or contracted with Magpul to produce the furniture. I'm not an insider, and I might be wrong.

That’s what I remembered too. As to new I think some of this has been revealed before? Maybe even for sale? I was wondering if the reason it is being marketed is because the gun is coming, or the other way that the gun isn’t coming and Magpul can sell their stuff on the open market.

That company that makes all the knock off clear mags. ETA? Makes MP5 mags for $30 ish. Worked fine for me, just the super strong spring made loading them a bitch.

Lol $75 for a mag is nothing for a gun that costs $3,000 (before the stock, tax stamp, etc)

First rule of HK - Don’t be cheap!



ETA: Magpul on an MP5 is heresy.

Exactly....... if you can't afford to have at least 20 HK magazines PER gun then you shouldn't have the gun.


It is like people buying a Ferrari and not being able to afford the gas....... LAME

I think it looks nice with the Knight’s RAS. The grip is more ergonomic and vertical than the Navy lower. Safety is easier to manipulate. What is there not to love?

I will say the RTG Parts trigger group is a little bit on the heavy side. I’ll give it 500-1000 rounds to break it in and see what happens. I may buy a Zenith SEF pack, as the Z5 rifle I bought and sold in 2018 had a much nicer trigger pull. I believe they sell one with mostly 4 US parts.
