Hello,
Back story: I am currently building my MP5 clone using a deadfootarms DFA AR-MP9 Upper and of course milling out my own 80% lower that accepts Glock mags. I am also installing the SCW25-STOCK/BRACE- GEN 2  which will use their modified 9mm BCG which is also from DeadFootArms.

My question. Has anyone done this with an FRT before? I currently have a Delta Team Tactical FRT, and because I am using the 2.5” buffer tube mod I am slightly worried of it firing OOB. I am willing to be a guinea pig but also want feedback to see how stupid I am. From google/Youtube I cant seem to find anyone who has done this.

When you’re talking MP5 clones, I think most people would think of something like this, an AP5 with Lee Sporting lower and SS. I’m not sure if your setup would work, you should try it!

That's quite the project and good luck, but I'm trying to understand how it would be an MP5 clone if it's AR lower-based and uses Glock mags. I would think an MP5 clone would be something like MAC-5 or MKE or PTR or a Zenith with only the HK being the original those clones are based off of. For the price of the DFA upper you could buy a complete MP5 clone too, although it would take MP5 mags. Not trying to start an argument, just trying to understand.

I assume he’s calling it that because the upper was made to look cosmetically MP5-ish.
