Zenith ZF-5P Complete 9mm Semi-automatic MP5 Clone (Blemished) For most of us, the thought of getting our hands on an actual MP5 is as appealing as it is unlikely. After all, who's got the $25,000-plus to drop on an original? Certainly not us. But there IS some good news: Zenith has produced a highly affordable civilian version that features the same action, same operation and is the same and proportions as the original. ANDa |it's made in the USA. Like the original MP5, the Zenith ZF-5P runs via gas-operated, roller-delayed blowback action, which helps to soften recoil and makes it easy to put a lot of lead downrange very quickly-and with a high degree of accuracy for targets near and far. The 5.8 inch cold hammer-forged, 4150 CMV steel barrel features 6-groove rifling and comes with a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle to accept a classic 3-prong flash hider or suppressor. The trigger breaks nicely at 6-8 lbs., and the ambidextrous safety selector is a huge improvement over the German original. Zenith also provided an AR-style mag release button in addition to the paddle-style mag release of the original. Both work well, but the paddle release is more fun, if we may be so bold. Sights are a bit different if you're used to the AR-15 life, but they're fairly intuitive and allow you to work at a number of different ranges. JUST ONE THING TO NOTEa |these are inchblemished inch models. Blemishes are cosmetic in nature and DO NOT affect function whatsoever. Blemishes may include (but are not limited to) paint defects, minor dings or scratches on receivers, slightly off-center engraving marks, and the like. You might be able to find the blemish, but many online reviewers couldn't find anything at all. We can't guarantee that will be the case, but we do know that the gun will run flawlessly no matter what. And the price absolutely cannot be beat. This is probably as affordable as an MP5 clone will EVER be, and supplies are limi
