I have a couple of AR's with the New Frontier lowers and don't have any complaints. The triggers are butter smooth and although I haven't tried for myself the polymer lower can take more abuse than an aluminum lower. The trigger groups have been tested with over 75,000 cycles with no measurable wear. I have not had any functioning issues and they are lighter than an aluminum AR lower.
Poor man's MP-5?Kind of a goofy looking thing, isn't it? Like an AR, but not really.
Rich man's MP-5 is always better. They need a micro HK-91 that fits the MP-5 footprint. Or do they have one?
Say what you want about all these new PCCs but if you take that MP5 out and run double tap drills on multiple targets, even with the factory sights, you will start to appreciate that this gun was built to get on target fast and stay on target very well in full auto mode. Makes it a wonderful gun to shoot in any dynamic environment. It's a remarkable piece of machinery.
This is one of the many reasons I want an Extar! It's on my list, and not very far down the list.
Technically a Zenith is the poor mans MP5
They do/did; the Mod 33/53 and they are the schiznit for a CQB weapon! Only way to really get your hands on one now days that a normal person can afford is to build from a flat kit! Nice thing is the two platforms share furnature ( mostly) and accessories, so you can have all the MP-5 goodness in a more useful caliber!
What a BLAST! Muzzle blast that is... I must admit that a slightly shorter, substantially lighter version of the 91-A2 would be welcome. However, the design and construction may limit that - much more so than shortening and lightening the AR-10 platform. I would be delighted with either, but have to settle for the 91-A2.
