[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Parabellum vs Kilo Guns clone

Posted: 2/5/2018 12:05:52 AM EDT

I'm looking at getting a build done. I looked into a few companies such as Parabellum Combat and Kilo Guns. Ralph Smith at Kilo seems to make sweet gun, but its high $$$.. parabellum is around 2100.. Anyone have experience with either/both? I like the magwell markings on Kilo.. seems more authentic HK, but not sure it's worth the price. Thanks

MP5s by Jeff. UMP by Tom.

Vector 53 reworked and refinished by Jeff.

4 MP5 clones by Jeff and an V53 reworked. No issues. Have parts for an HK34 waiting to send him.

I dont know Ralph, but I haven't heard anyone have negative things to say. Regarding his magwell markings- I personally wouldnt pay for it since it's not a gun built by HK. The photos of his end-product on Facebook look great.

I have a MP5/40, 53 and 51k all built from Jeff. I would do it again.

I'm having one done by Kilo and will post some pictures when I get it back. I've spoke with Ralph on the phone a few times about some things and if his build skills are as quality as his customer service, I'll be delighted. He's been good to work with so far.

please share the pics. You guys aren't making the decision any easier. Looks like you can't go wrong either way.

I have a 93 clone built by Jeff. It shoots laser beams. Would use him again in a heartbeat.

Both build awesome guns. Can't go wrong with either.

This one was done by Kilo Guns. They sent me this picture, I should be able to pick it up from my dealer this weekend. I'll take it out blasting and get a review up after.

I have heard great things about Parabelum, and my buddy has a 53AR built by him. It is very very nice and runs great. I would not hesitate to use Parabelum.

I have used IGF for some work and the same buddy used him to rebuild a special weapons mp5 clone. Mine and his came out great.

I had a new to me, hk sear and 4 clone hosts. Couldn’t get 3 hosts to run right so I personally took them to Jeff at PCS. He took the time to stop what he was doing, looked over all 3 and could tell immediately what the fixes were for 2 of them. Replaced 2 parts, and did a lot of extra stuff; tweaked a few things; shelf height, springs, etc and smoothed out the bolt/receiver contact in one point. He took me to his range and all 3 ran 100% and remained 100%. Took less than 2 hours total.

He’s since answered a few questions over the phone on some more recent clone purchase issues too.

Have much respect for him!

Jeff texted me photos showing a few issues with a clone I sent in for a rebarrel (RIP German barrel). Can't beat that for service. Lesson learned on using only top builders.

Jeff at Parabellum built my G3K pistol from parts that I provided on a new PTR receiver. Turn around time was less than two weeks.

Excellent work and I have hammered this build with my Fleming sear. It still runs flawlessly.

Jeff reworked my V53 SBR. He found out I had a ground down G3 locking lug and replaced with RCM. Also re stamped the rear of the receiver to better accept my A3 stock and welded a rail up top. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
