Zenith ZF-5 9mm Semi-automatic MP5 Clone with Essentials Package 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 same proportions as the original. ANDa |it's made in the USA. Like the original MP5, the Zenith ZF-5 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 8.9 inch cold hammer-forged, 4150 CMV steel barrel features 6-groove rifling. 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. This is a new-production model that comes with (1) 30-rd. magazine, soft case and owner's manual. This is about as affordable as an MP5 clone will ever be, so don't wait-claim your today. 8.9 inch cold hammer-forged 4150 CMV barrel with 1/2x28 threads; comes with 3-lug mount Authentic roller-delayed blowback action helps soften felt recoil and allows for very fast, accurate shooting Adjustable 4-aperture drum rear sight/fixed hooded front sight Crisp trigger with 6-8 lb. pull Upgraded ambidextrous safety selector AR-style button mag release plus classic paddle mag release inchTropical inch wide polymer forend can be replaced Polymer buttplate with sling swivel can be removed and replaced via a single pin
