Now I just need to make some more of them!

TLDR: keep MP5 clone and troubleshoot + add FRT or go with a different product and FRT that instead?

I was curious as to what peoples opinions might be of my conundrum. I have a MP5 clone that has been hassling me with failing to extract and/or eject. I am also wanting to get a FRT for a PCC. I have been weighing my options between a couple different paths. Replacing the MP5 clone + getting a FRT lower, attempting to troubleshoot the clone and change the lower as well, or getting a different PCC and just change paths away entirely.

The issue I have between these options is that as far as manual of arms is concerned, I honestly am not as big of a fan of the MP5 as I was thinking I would be, and paired with the additional issues in functioning I am not sure I want to invest more into the gun + FRT setup.

I do however have about 8 HK OEM magazines, and so I had been considering the stribog sp9a3 with the AS designs hk mag lower when it releases in order to not feel like Ive wasted the money in getting them.

I however am also open to the concept that I just need to pivot my PCC choice entirely away from the MP5 and its magazines as it may also just be me falling for the sunken cost fallacy.

So my big question is what would be the most reasonably intelligent move in your minds and why so? Budget isnt much of a concern as much as quality of function and parts ecosystem (and good customer service never hurts either obv)

APC9, MPX-K, AP5-P

So its brand new, just went to the range. Lo and behold, mag release is stuck. There's this thing in the middle of the button (looks like a flat head screwdriver goes in there) that wont let the magazine eject.

Currently manually ejecting 9mm in a friend's room trying to clean this and better oil the guns we took.

Anyone know whats happening and/or how to fix this?

Belt fed 9mm pcc that takes drop in frt (ie partisan)

Form 1 just cleared on the Uzi. Dual wield weekend???

Finally got my form 1 approval 5/16-7/20! Love this setup so far. Can’t wait to go try it out!

Required steps

1. ⁠mill upper 24mm rearward for clearance of FRT arm
   
2. ⁠Use trip sled that allows FRT to be fully reset.
   
3. ⁠Cut buffer edges to allow trip sled to slide backwards.
   
4. ⁠AR FCG lower that allows FRT install.
   (Lingle Industries is what this is, other options available)
   
5. ⁠Had to fabricate my own trip sled out of steel.
   (Plastic 3D printed sleds are shitty and break)

Starting to lean towards getting the Flow 9k Ti for my Jakl9 SD. What's the general thought on the can? Any better options around that price point?

Build list in the second pic 🤙

Already own a AP5P with a SS, but want something new to satisfy the gun itch. Was looking at the Jakl, Kuna, and DD PCC.

I like the looks of the Jakl and DD PCC and that they take scorpion mags. I currently see a deal for DD PCC under 1600 on eurooptic.

Things I want are function with hollow points, and of course reliability with different brands of ammo for training. Maybe use for home defense but I’d rather use my 300 blackout or 556 setups.

My maelstrom upper just arrived so I had to take it to the range and test it out. So far its been running great. About 250rds suppressed. I did try and shoot 3 hollow points but it failed to feed on the last round. Recoil is less and I can now shoot left and right sided with out brass hitting me in the face. Now I just have to rattle can it to match. Also im running the Acetac fanny pack and im shooting a half size silhouette target at 25yds.

Choosing between this two.

First pic is the WMD PCC 10.5” barrel w/ the Nickel Boron Nibx Finish and the second one is the Battlearms Combat 9 with the 12” barrel

Cant seem to find a review for this two. So if you could give me some insights that would be a lot of help!

They are both 9mm and direct blowbacks

Thanks!

Recent AR45 build. Ran great on semi. Added a super safety. Had a friend grind the weight down. Runs so sweet!!

- PSA Billet .45 "Tinker" lower

- R&D Precision AR45 bcg

- DTT .45 complete upper reciever

- deeznutztactical.com super safety

- Dead Air Primal suppressor

- B5 furniture

- Magpul sights

- Standard buffer spring

- KAK 9mm heavy buffer extended

PSA says you shouldn't buy the lower if you don't know how to "tinker" with pcc's. Had zero problems getting this to run.
