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.Originally Posted by eodinert

Yuck. Those magpul single rear pin hk lowers are so ugly. No way that’s going on any of my MP5s. Also, I wouldn’t get excited about the PSA mp5 cline. I’d wager it will be a total turd with lots of teething issues.

Some people just want to be able to reach the selector. If this does at a reasonable price point it could be a hit, even if it is less than classically styled.

The enhanced selector kit works really well on my Zenith Z5P. Not as tight and ergo is excellent without having to switch my trigger finger position. Ran a PCC match once with the stock selector, it was a pain to switch on from low ready. PS: I have Navy SEF receiver and HKParts US made trigger pack.

I will stick with ambi picto lowers, though the selector detent spring could use lightening. My hands are big enough that I don’t need the HK ESSL, but if an extended safety desired, HK makes one. You could also just buy a Navy profile SEF lower and use the Magpul selectors if you want the ability to reach the selector.
The MP lower just looks like an M4 stock on an AK to me. Function over form and all, but this is one place where I just can’t deviate from classical.
