If you already have a Glock, its worth it to by at least a dozen!

No Glock......had 8 at one time, but not a Glock man anymore.......

I would be buying them specifically for the futur MSAR STG-9mm

Maybe it would be smarter to get a cool $1000 stashed for the gun first....haha

I will have some stuff going on the EE very soon, gotta generate some slush fund to spend in August

it was in relation to the markup being seen at gunshows for newly released firearms, the MSAR being a new firearm on the market makes my post relative to this soon to be released firearm...and your's a weak and uneducated attack.

August = late summer. Seasons are 3 months long (4 per 12 month year).  3 months is nothing in the release date of a new firearm, especially when projecting a future date for a totally new product.  I get the idea I won't see one before spring but will probably own one before next SHOT Show.

Ahh, always wanted a 9mm rifle, but the only thing tempting was an AR15, and then I always thinkg 'Why?  Just get a 5.56".  Bullpup, $700 cheaper than 5.56....it's a no brainer.

take care,

Just to give you guys some info on the new MCS (Modular Carbine System). To answer your questions this is a modular carbine that can be converted throughout a host of calibers of your choice... 9mm/10mm/40SW/45ACP/45GAP/357SIG. All it takes to do so is a barrel, bolt face, and a mag well adapter. The removable adapters are available in two sizes... one size for 9mm, 40SW, 357SIG, 45GAP, and one size for 10mm and 45ACP. This is all converted without the use of any tools.The target weight will be 4.5 lbs or lighter. The MCS will have an external bolt release, cross safety, quick detach 41V50 chrome lined barrel w/ removable flash hider so a suppressor can be used. Action is a mass blowback system. The MCS uses any of the hi-cap glock mags of which there are millions in circulation. All of the MSAR rail accessories will adapt to this system. MSRP on any caliber variation w/1.5 optic will be $1259.00 Any carbine with a 9" inch top rail and no optic will MSRP for $995.00 making this system probably the best value you will see on any firearm in a long time. Notice the new/additional sling quick detach points in the pics.

How can it only be 4.5 lbs when the AUG Para weighs 7.27lbs? Is it because its recoil operated instead of gas operated, and less reserve mass or what? Also the PS90 is upwards of 6lbs.

The correct release date is in the August time frame... Carol made a typo. If Tony says 4.5 lbs then I'm sure he has some new tech up his sleeve!!!

Oh man, I emailed MSAR today just checking on timeframe and price and if left handed bolts would be available and got this response:


Hi Tholl223,

The MCS Carbines will retail for about $995.00 without optic. They should be available through our distributors in August. There will not be a left hand model for these carbines. They are also only going to be available in black. If you have further questions, please let me know.

I would think ot should almost be heavier then the 5.56 model, just because if it is blowback, the typical blowback firearm has a larger heavier bolt....read Uzi, Mac, even the 9mm AR has a heavier bolt.

The HK USC/UMP 45 ACP has a lighter bolt than most 5.56 bolt/bolt carrier combinations and its a blow back, so it can be done light.

Not intrested in a pissing match either.  

It has 6 years sence I took apart a USC.  Thought a couple years ago over seas I did a fam fire and took apart a 9mm UMP and was amazed how light it was.  With 8 inch barrel it was a roughly 4.5 lbs.  Compared to the caputed MP-5 and Sterling I had recently handeled it was very light.  Thats my more recent memory and I might be in error on the 45 ACP bolt.  My impression with the UMP was that with modern materials and the right engineering how light a pistol caliber long gun could be.

I think this thing in 10mm will kick ass!  Anyone have any actual 10mm velocity data from a carbine length barrel?  I bet it gains quite a bit.

I've done some investigating and checking with others.... trying to figure out if an ar build was worth it.

here's just a couple of numbers for comparison

Glock 10mm 4.6" barrel, umc 180 FMJ, 1024fps
Oly 16" 10mm blowback upper, umc 180 FMJ, 1240fps

Doubletap 165 Golden Saber through a oly 16" upper, 1691fps

Is this the mag release or bolt release?

Why wouldn't you accidentally hit this when picking it up/shooting it?

I want one....just need to ask this question that I can't believe hasn't been addressed already.

2/22/2008 8:52:22 PM EDT
[#26]
Looks like the mag release.

I don't think you'd need to worry about accidentally hitting it because of the space between it and the grip as well as its angle.

What about the Kriss-TDI 45 mags that they are talking about putting out? Look for this video in youtube where they talk specifically about a 30rd glock modified mag (Kriss-TDI SHOTSHOW 2008 Part 1). This should fix the reliability issues, now if they could only make a 10mm one I would be good too go:)

To me pistol caliber semi-auto SMGs are going the way of the dino for military/leo use, but this just looks like a damn fun gun to shoot.  So, strictly for it's plinking appeal I think I may get one. I'm going to wrestle with this for a bit.

TDI worked a deal with Magpul to make a 17rd extension for 13rd Glock 21 mags.  I saw the extension at the TDI booth at 2007 SHOT and it got me more excited than the rifle.

From www.kriss-tdi.com/content/view/44/27/

TDI also offers an optional KRISS G30 MagEx for the KRISS line of firearms manufactured by MagPul Industries. The KRISS MagEx G30 "+17" design quickly converts the Glock 21 13-round magazine to a full 30 rounds which assembles and disassembles easily with no special tools required. The magazine extension has an inner and outer sleeve of injection molded Magpul proprietary high-performance, fiber-filled polyamide (PA) composite material for strength, toughness and dimensional stability. The magazine extension also contains an ISMI premium spring, manufactured exclusively with certified aerospace specification alloys.  The product uses standard Glock 21 13-round .45 ACP magazine components - magazine body, follower and base plate. The KRISS G30 MagEx is compatible with all KRISS Super V system .45 ACP firearms (SMG, CRB/SO) and with Glock  21 .45 ACP pistols.

Great news.  MSAR will be getting my money for a 5.56 rifle and a 9mm rifle in the not too distant future.  Best part is Glock 18 mags are cheap right now and if you carry a Glock you're set on both...kind of like Rugers concept with the PC carbines but much better quality and a OAL comparable to a SBR MP-5.

I'm going to be getting one of these, because damn it, even though I know the superiority of 5.56, a long gun that takes my glock mags in 9mm just makes some sort of sense, somehow.

Only question, will it also take 10 round Glock 26 mags?
