Looking hard at a 5" barrel model. Want to make sure I'm not overlooking a better option at the price point, but I don't believe I am. Will end up SBR'ing and suppressing it.

Looks like it can be had for around $800 out there or a bit less. Only thing I would tell you to cross shop it with is the Century Arms AP5-P, which is the 5.75" MP5-K clone from Turkey. Looks like its around $1075 in cart at a few places. I have a full size MP5 and my buddy has the 8" roller delayed Stribog A3. His suppresses extremely well. Hard to really tell a difference between the two with 147gr subs and a can. If you don't have nostalgia for the MP5 platform and want to save a bit over $250, then it's hard to go wrong with the 'bog SP9A3. Only other option to consider is a CMMG 5" Radial Delay kit for about $340 and roll your own AR9 which will be radial delayed. The CMMG ARC 9mm Pmag conversions are perfect with the RDB kit. |

Also check out the Matador arms Montgo or Mat-9, kinda like a Stribog crossed with an AR-15.

If only shooting FMJs it's the best with roller delay and a suppressor. If you're wanting hp reliability I'd go Scorpion instead.

Yes. Get the 8",
+3" buys you a decent amount of velocity gain. |

Also, be sure to get the 40 degree roller, if you are going to suppress. Well, I think I may have gotten both the part name and the numerical value of the angle wrong, not sure - but start researching. It's only a $40 part, but it will slow the roller delay more, for those running supressors with hot ammo.
Stribog is currently the best PCC/SMG for under $1k there is; and beats most $2k+ units. MP5 is a neat relic of the past, but the heavy steel construction and lack of last-shot-hold feature, make it a neat 1980's gun surpassed by a 2020's gun. Also, don't get the wire stock (or armbrace). Get the folder. Wire stock's look best in photo's while lusting after it. Less so if you actually plan on running it. Folder is much faster, much more comfy. If you SBR and get the real genuine Stribog stock, it locks into folded position via the little cut-out in the front of the receiver; it's clever. The HB (or whetever) tactical upgraded buffer isn't a bad buy; nor are the upgraded safety selector levers. As to Scorpion -thanks for getting the concept of a non-AR based modern looking 9mm PCC going. You're also obsolete with a primitive action, now that Stribog SP9A3 has entered the scene. Though nod to CZ Scorpion for actually releasing a complete product, vs the embarrassing multi-step Beta-test launch Stribog went through. Sorry to those who got hosed by Grand Power on that deal. There was only about a 1 year window before the ban, when Stribog actually got it right. Up until that time, Scorpion was the better gun. |

I don't have experience with the 5" personally but my friends 8" A3 is a smooth shooter and suppresses as well as my 8" MP5 clone, as best as we could tell. If you can deal with the length and weight increase, the 8" may be the smoother shooter and quieter suppressed to shooter's ear. Thats essentially how the MP5 and MP5-K stack up to each other. I was mainly trying to say to go for any "3" model as you want roller delayed. Direct blowback isn't worth investing into if you are wanting to suppress. |

I really did not like the first gen Stribog and found it to be relatively cheap feeling overall, but the newer models are a bit nicer. I personally would recommend the B&T GHM9, which can be found for a hair under $1K on occasion. It's a far nicer firearm, smoother and has good support.

AP5 is better for suppression.
I have the AP5, AP5-P, Stribog A1 and Stribog A3. Suppressed is definitely better with the AP5 varients. IMO the A3 still opens too early and has some port pop. I really like the bang for buck with the Stribog A1. Great shooter for the money. |

US - open easy on weak ammo (Factory) - unmarked, for real ammo And a surpressed verson with a sharp angle for suppressed gun usage (this one is hard to find) If you are running US marked one, while suppressed - then yea, I bet that didn't go well. |

View Quote With the 40 degree roller block it’s every bit as soft as an MP5 suppressed. Setup correctly, there’s not a single thing about an MP5 that’s better than the Stribog. If the MP5 didn’t have this strange cult following for being so iconic, people would finally start calling it out for the outdated relic it really is. |

I have both. The MP5 is softer, it is heavier and has a lighter bolt carrier.
Stribog: Attached File Mp5k: Attached File That said, the Stribog has better ergos, bolt hold open, mine takes scorpion mags (I use cheap PSA mags), better trigger. Much easier to clean and field strip, it's lighter. I cut my.barrel down and threaded it so it has the shortest barrel with a full rail. Some downsides are the stock mags suck, some issues early on with frame rail peening (doesn't seem to show up anymore that I've seen). Also imported vs domestic produced (PTR is the best clone). For the mp5k, I use kci mags and they seem fine. The mp5k is shorter, although the sp9a3s might be close or a tad shorter. You have to decide what you want/need/like. Make a pros and cons list.

The M(ag)P(ul)5--AP5 Review No experience with the Stibog but my AP5 is ridiculously quiet suppressed with subs. Hard to imagine the Bog being any quieter. |

Man, I want to see more Stribogs with the A3 Tactical Scorpion-mag lower. I am so tempted to pick up an A3 and do the conversion...I really don't need another braced pistol, but I'm just so tempted!
I can find the A3 with 8" barrel in stock, but not the shorter 5" barrel I prefer...any preferences from the ARFCOM hive mind? ROCK6 |
