Reviews on these are few and far between. Just curious to know if anyone has any experience with these MP5 clones from Atlantic Firearms. ETA: Only "review" I could find: http://hkpro.com/forum/showthread.php?132086-VR5-at-Atlantic Somebody at Atlantic seems to think they are fine if not better than other clones... Should I run away? |

Wonder if those are built with Pakistani parts ? the HK clone market here in the US has been irrevocably damaged by Speshul Weapons Vulcan and Vector I wouldn't buy it especailly at that price see by the HK pro link it is some sort of bastardized straight blow back rifle yeah screw that |

I have special weapons, Bobcats, Coharies, Vectors, Prusiks, and real HKs
They are 9mm, 10mm, and 45ACP They all run like Messican federales from fucking cartel gunmen. I have two registered sears for them. I like my clones But the Atlantic gun won't take a registered sear so piss on it. So I had to dick with some springs and ejectors That taught me a lot about them Get one Then get another CP |

Quoted: According to the posts on HKpro, it isn't a Vulcan/Vector mfg though... but every 9mm HK clone that has come down the pike has been a huge hunk of shit you might want to but for $1300 I sure as shit not gonna roll the dice just buy a 9mm rock river and pocket the extra $400 but as always YMMV |

Get one Then get another CP That's very comforting. Thanks. Any experience with the afformentioned variant? None with the Atlantic weapon It has some kind of odd non HK system Won't take a sear so I have ignored it. I shoot select fire and suppressed 90% of the time I have about 7-8 clones and 4 HKs Rollers,.springs and ejectors are all I have ever had to replace Investment Grade Firearms makes the BEST clone you will ever see.

| I have an SW5...auction house I bought from says its IGF...didn't run perfect at first ($600 so I didn't freak over it) but after taking the trigger group apart a few times I got it running perfect...that was 2 years ago...added an SBR and a collapsible stock its the most fun gun I own. |

They do have an auto sear block which tends to piss of the full auto guys. I'm wondering if there is a legal way to remove the sear block for the full auto guys, it would take about ten seconds with a dremmel. |

Illegal as Hell Your BATFE bureaucrats have stated that would be the illegal manufacture of an unregistered MG What horseshit! |
