Sterling Arms Intl 9mm PCC Sneak Peak

MP5 means "More Pricey 5 rounds"?

I guess B&T lowers were popular for similar reasons as to why this need not be a deal breaker? Besides nothing available for Glock except Homesteader so moot for now?

Edit: video shows more than 5 rounds at 00:30 and 03:49 and says "10 round max" at 05:00
If you counted the rounds I believe they had 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag (10 + 1) = 11
 
Yes. So morp's idea of having a restricted length carbine for range use and a long barreled upper for non-range shooting wouldn't work.
 
Oops…. 18 oz
1.2lb = 19.2oz = 545g, but who's counting? For whoever it was talking about bolt weights, a Sten bolt is ~600g and the M3 grease gun is just under 900g.

What magical force is stopping him? 30 days to report a change last I looked.
Depends on how allergic he is to court if he gets caught. Our legal system is so phobic of guns that I can't imagine they would side with a gun owner and would most likely decide that the moment you put the short upper on the lower it becomes a restricted, and the 30 day notification period is only there to ease the bureaucracy side of it and does not give you a grey zone to work with like you think.

Lets have a close up look at the SAI R9, a 9mm PCC. we look at its features, basic disassembly and reassembly.
Excellent video thanks for sharing, all my questions were answered. No direct demo of the bolt release, or trigger break, but looks like it should be typical function for both. Good to hear non reciprocating charging handle too. There seems to be enough uniqueness to this design that it has merit regardless of OIC BS. Just over $2,000 for PCC and 5x 10/30 mags.

OK, morp has a restricted carbine. He swaps out the short barrel for a long one. He has 30 days to report the change, Until the change is reported, it is still restricted. Range OK; off range not OK.
 
Being so eager to comply is exactly how we got this far.

Are you being daft or just difficult? A person would obviously start with a NR gun and do the exact opposite of what you said. Some people will have a problem with it, many others will continue to do exactly that as they have for years.

Start with a n-r gun. Install the short barreled upper. 30 days to register it as restricted.
Until registered as restricted, it is an unregistered restricted firearm. Certainly could not be taken out in public and used. If asked, the thing could be held until the registration certificate is produced. What registration certificate? One hasn't been issued yet. Application for registration hasn't been made.
An ATT is valid for firearms registered to the ATT holder. Not registered, ATT doesn't apply.

If you don't get it, fair enough. Plenty of guys out there still have their balls and aren't having any issues. Being so eager to comply with all the BS is exactly part of why we are even at this point now.

I don't know why you feel the need to be insulting.
Here is something else to consider, although as a long time member I am sure you are aware of the following...
If you refer to the Terms and Rules, you will find:
"The following topics will not be tolerated. Violation will result in immediate and permanent suspension. Some quasi legal/grey/downright illegal examples that are specifically not tolerated are:
5. Swapping non-restricted barrel for restricted barrel at gun range."

Tiriaq gets it much better than you do. He is reading the law the way a court will read it, not wishing something else into it. The reason the guys with balls aren't having problems is because they haven't been caught yet. As long as you don't ever get caught it's going to be fine. Get caught for some reason and then you are going to be charged with illegal possession of an unregistered restricted firearm and face all the associated penalties of that.

I applaud your desire to commit civil disobedience with your contempt of our firearms laws, but don't tell people it's perfectly OK to do something that could easily land them in prison if they get busted.

is there a pistol version of the MP5?

Wonder if these will be lefty friendly?
I've never found a conventional SA that isn't appropriate for lefties.


The bolt is 1.2 pounds (16 oz)
I’m interested to know the actual weight of the bolt. Every video i’ve watched they mention the bolt is beefy and heavy but haven’t provided an actual weight. 9mm blowback needs about 21.5 ounces of reciprocating mass so I wonder how close the r9 bolt gets to that weight.
There isn't a minimum bolt weight required for a 9mm blowback. Bolt weight varies amongst different designs.

Bolt weight controls bolt velocity and thus cyclic rate. The Sten bolt weighs 1.35 lbs. A micro Uzi has a 0.875 lb bolt. Both work.

The claimed 1.2 lb bolt weight of the R9 will be absolutely fine as it is in the same range as a Sten or full sized Uzi bolt. IF the R9 were FA, I'd guess it would produce a cyclic range in the range of 650 rpm, which is perfectly reasonable for operation and durability.
 
a Sten bolt is ~600g and the M3 grease gun is just under 900g.
Did you weigh them when I wasn't looking? :oops:

The Brits did use lightened bolts in their MK2S guns because the porting dropped pressure in the barrel very quickly, which reduced the recoil impulse for the 124gr ammo they used back then.

That's funny as I've had a member result to threats and name calling towards me a bit ago and nothing happened to him....

!?!??!!? All versions of the MP5 in the states are pistols (with ir without braces that they come with) unless converted to SBR then allowed to have a full stock attached
