Glocks and 1911s.

Neat.

Nice. Though, I don't know if it would be worth the SBR stamp for the stocked version.

I just don't the market for this stuff is in the United States. Civilians have problems with the AOW/SBR aspect, and LEOs generally have the cash to buy separate 9mm rifles. Is there some kind of weird civilian armed security niche that this fits into? I'm just not seeing it.

There is a certain part of the market that learns about guns from shows like Top Shot, Future Weapons and the like. Lots of people that have money and want these "cool" toys. I've had a few people ask where to get an MP7A1 lately (and there was a post here about it as well). This sort of thing would appeal to those people, I think, which is why companies produce these products.

A guy I work with has the roni and suppressed it. While it does look pretty cool he dropped over 2k and really only has a glock 17. With that being said it does look awesome but it's applications for your average shooter seem limited.

Then again I guess you could say that just about almost any weapon

True that...for the rest of us, solution looking for a problem. However, a P90-esque bullpup Glock carbine would be pretty neat as a plinker, and good for some female shooters. I've been thinking about a CX4 wth TLR-1 for my sister...smaller than an AR, negligible recoil, cheap to run, easier to manage than a 12ga for HD purposes.

I think it is a great idea for many circumstances. Damn shame it would be SBR/AOW.

 

[StantonCree]

A sub2k is basically the same thing at a third of the price

The only thing I want from the MP7A1 are the iron sights... I love the "open when flat, aperture when up" paradigm. Too bad they're like $300 from HKPro.

And, yes, the Sub-2000 is excellent. Just a bit longer than it should be... I've often daydreamed about doing something like chopping the barrel, threading it, and then using an aftermarket front sight. Unfortunately, the economics on that aren't very good - I could run a similar length 9mm AR-15 SBR for not much more.

I guess you could add a 16" barrel and get around the NFA

 

[Combloc]

Just buy this and be done with it:

If you want to go the SBR route, cut the barrel or get a K model. Both do everything the Sig abomination does and more IMO.

 

[krashmania]

Thoughts before reading comments.
1. Wouldn't that then be sbr/aow?
2. What's wrong with the sub2k?

Came late to the party though...

what caliber is that ?
what did it run you?
Is that a American tactical import mark?

 

[WSM]

Would the lack of a stock but a VFG make it an AOW? It appears the removable stock version is LE/Mil only.

9mm

I have about 1700 in it.

Yes sir. These things are Schweet!

Unfortunately, the last thing I had read was that MKE had cut off ATI, and there are no more MKE imports coming in.

Very nice. Does it match the reliability of the HK94's or does it suffer some of the issues of the Vulcan/Hesse builds?

 

[OH IT'S KINO]

I actually think this would be pretty neat and fun to have. Not sure that it's quote worth the money and time to get a tax stamp.
