Here are a few pics of the New Imports from Zenith of the Turkish MKE Roller lock pistols . Hopefully we will be able to submit these to the Handgun Board for review.

Wow that looks nice. With the CZ Scorpion Evo and now this, I've completely given up any idea of ever building a 9mm AR pistol. Any idea what the price will be?

That top gun is probably not going to pass the roster board - it's a copy of the SP-89.

Glad I got one years ago as an AOW into MD and then did my Form 1 and SBR'd it before all this STUPIDITY we have here in Md............

What's the difference between that and the other one, besides maybe length?

Look at the back. The two push pin holes are indicative of using MP5K/SP-89 parts.

Does it accept reg sear packs easily?

Both only have one hole. The MP5 has a hole behind the plastic part of the trigger housing. Its technically the front hole of a rifle grip housing which would have two holes. You can cut off the rear hole and use a rifle housing on an MP5. The MP5K(SP89) went even shorter. You cut off both holes and add a hole in the back of the housing itself. It's still well behind the internal trigger pack. The K uses a shorter barrel w/ matching front foregrip, and a different bolt carrier since the cocking tube is shorter. Though I'm pretty sure the bolt is the same. The receiver shape and the trunnions are the same. You can make a K out of a MP5 receiver fairly easily.

There is a MP5 'reverse stretch' which never existed from HK. Its a K front end w/ its short barrel/foregrip and the longer ass end of a MP5. Said to have less recoil than a K and run more reliably. I think their main reason is that K parts are so much more expensive. A real HK MP5 parts kit is ~$1500. A K part kit will be at least another grand. So lots of financial incentive to just put a short barrel on a regular MP5 parts kit.

whens the 5.56 pistol coming

I heartily recommend MKE products. I bought some of both the standard and K models when they were imported back in 2009-10 and they have been wonderful little firearms. I don't regret one penny of my purchases. I have one of the new POF MP5's too and other than paint quality, it has been just as good as the MKE's. Additionally, both brands have been as reliable and sturdy as my HK's. You simply cannot go wrong with these.

Incorrect. Top gun has two holes, top and bottom. This is why MP5Ks use a different stock than MP5s.

smdub · Jun 7, 2015

Bah. Didn't realize you were counting the top one

But you're technically right.

Bottom hole isn't in the same location either. Doesn't matter about the top hole. The stocks don't interchange anyway.

Hey, when you're field stripping a K, you notice that top pin... it's no less important than the bottom one. (OK, maybe slightly less, since it's not holding in the lower receiver).

That said, the handgun roster board is being exceedingly weird in its designation of something as an assault pistol or not, so G-d only knows what they're gonna really say.

If you want a K model, all you have to do is get a Class II/III dealer to buy it and convert it into either an SBR (if you can figure out how to get 29" out of it) or an AOW. That way, you completely circumvent the goofy pistol roster.

Maybe as aow, but currently sbr still is considered a pistol in the state I believe.
