I doubt we will have any updates until the Shot Show . Most of the vendors like to hold new releases and other info like this for Shot Show hype.

Any updates? I know SHOT is around the corner. I emailed MKE USA just asking if I should go ahead and splurge on that TPM SD build or hold off for some 33K and G3K clones. Would also go for a 53 clone since I already have a 33K, but I really don't want to drop the coin on an SD and then turn around and have the rifle caliber MKE guns be posted on Atlantic the following day. That's the type of luck I roll with. But if we are still 6-8 months out, then TPM is getting my money.

But I’m not going to get excited, I’d bet a cup of coffee any MKE 33K will be completely sold out with in minutes and we will have to wait months for another dribble of guns. Or just go on GunBroker the following day, because that’s where you will find probably 50%-75% of the introductory guns, for double or triple the price. Beryl 5.56s are a perfect example of what happens when manufacturers and importers play the dribble game. |

Should I expect these to be priced similarly to the AP5s? Maybe slightly higher?

I’d definitely want an HK33K clone. Picking up an AP5 has been like a gateway drug for me. I was never to interested in roller lock guns before but now I want an AP5-P and AP5-M plus the 33 clone. My wallet hates me.

If just a few are coming in they’re a non factor, as the price will be bid up to near HK93 rates by dealers putting them on gunbroker.
Hopefully PTR gets off it’s ass and finally makes a .223 model. |

I’d go with either a MKE or Zenith. Whoever gets it out first gets my money. Unfortunately, Zenith will say just about anything to stay relevant from what I’ve seen. For example, they claimed they were going to be releasing an A3 stock for a long time, and then once Atlantic dropped the news of a MKE A3 stock import they put together a digital picture in like 24 hours of a A3-ish stock and started taking pre-orders using that digital image. I think that was 5 months ago and somehow they still can’t get that A3 stock produced or even an actual picture of a physical production stock prototype. I followed them when they were spooling up for their domestic full size MP5 production and that seemed to take 2 years. They’ve had their full size MP5 in production for maybe a little over a year now and they still haven’t quite gotten a MP5K in retail sales. I have absolutely zero expectation that they get a .223 rollerlock firearm into retail production and sale by the end of 2023. But I think they feel like they have to pretend so that they have customers holding on and waiting for their firearm eventually and not purchasing MKE |

Quite odd the market for HK93ish rifles and pistols, there is huge demand yet no manufacturer, HK, MKE, PTR, ect want to jump in and prioritize building something everyone is begging for. I picked up my HK93 for $2500 now they are going for north of $4-$5k on GunBroker. That must be a hint there is an mega demand out there. Yet manufacturers keep on pumping out another railed out AR platform. Boring! |
