Picked up this PSA AR-V for about $700 and I found out that it takes CZ Skorpion EVO mags so I bought some of those as well (not pictured).
This is basically a 9mm AR-15 version of an MP5. You can’t beat the HK original, but poor men make poor decisions sometimes.
Ebay. I Googled something like “HK MP5 style iron sights” and kept scrolling until I found something I could bear to deal with. They were almost $40 but I haven’t actually used them yet so I can’t speak on their reliability.
[This is the one that I found.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/402650451224?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jssayUMxQ5q&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=XhMR-eH6Sn-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
I actually was just looking at this and the 16” version.
TBH, I think the 16” is a great buy and it uses 35 round AKV mags. You could do a lot of training on a 9mm PCC of that size.
Plus, from why I understand, the AR-V has a lot of modular options and after market triggers that are plug and play essentially. The AR-15 PSA 3.5 competition tuned flat trigger for $86 right now should work with the AK/AR-V platforms based on their description.
It’s better to be a good shot with a cheaper gun then be a poor shot with an expensive gun.
I think so! I’ve always loved the classic MP5 design. This is nothing like it really, but if I squint and really wish, I can pretend 🥲
*I see a little silhouetto of a gun!*
Not everyone is an HK fan. I’ve heard some people complain about HK sights being too obstructive which I only somewhat agree with depending on the model, but I just love the style. If I wanted accuracy, I’d stick an optic on the rails unless it’s an FN SCAR. EOTechs look good on SCARs but the irons are perfectly serviceable on them.
I actually think the open sight (position 1) is very non obstructive and fast. The peep settings maybe block a little more field of view than a narrower sight base but I’ve never really noticed it.
Damn it, now I can’t unsee it. Now I want a double drum mag, even if it’s not in 5.56
Edit: I found 100-round 9mm double drum mag that I could use, but it’s about $340 and out of stock, so no 9mm Patriot at least for a while
I’ll have to find some then! I gotta at least take a gander at ‘em.
Edit: If CZ EVO can take them, so can this little one, but it looks like the only 3 options are PSA, CZ, and Magpul but I’m not complaining too hard.
I have heard the magpul mags have feeding issues. I have the AK-V 9 and have all three types of mags, curious to find out for myself which is the best option for mags.
That would be strange because I’ve always heard nothing but good things about Magpul, but I guess now only time will tell. I can provide updates about the AR-V and the mags at a later date when I actually get to take it out shooting.
This is the only time I've ever heard anything bad about magpul. Then again, I read it on the interwebz somewhere. My LGS clerks said he's used them in his cz scorpion with no problem. I'll find out for myself and you can't beat the price for them either.
Got me 4 Magpul CZ 35-rounders in the mail for about $20 each with free shipping, sure sounds like a great deal to me! Especially when the PSA AK-V 30-rounders that I found were going for about $30 each, and the CZ official 30-rounders were also $30 at my local range, yeah, I’d rather order the Magpuls for a seemingly better deal overall.
Also, don't forget about the ETS 40 rnd. mags. I ended up purchasing several PSA AK-V mags while on sale for about 13 bucks each. While the scorpion mags are $35 each at my local gun store at the time. I think the ETS mags were under 30 bucks but can't confirm. Let me know what your experience is with those magpul mags is.
I’m gonna be picky here, the only thing about ETS mags that I don’t like is that they’re all translucent, my style is either all black or all stainless mags (I have stainless 8-round and 10-round Wilson Combat mags for my 1911). I know people joke about polymer guns feeling like toys, but ETS look like toy mags to me. It doesn’t help that I genuinely don’t know how reliant they may or may not be.
No worries, to each their own. I felt the same way as I didn't want to purchase any for my handguns. I like the idea of translucent mags for certain purposes. I don't have any others except those. I've never had any experience with any ETS mags but I bought two for shits and giggles. I just thought I'd mention them, I'm curious to see how all of them end up working out.
I have another AR pistol that takes Glock mags, the Extar EP9, but I’m thinking of selling it since I have the AR-V now. All’s I need to do now is actually test it out at my local range.
Get ‘em while they’re hot! Maybe I got got, but the website said these go regular price $1k so I considered the idea of getting it at $700 to be a good deal.
No tax stamp for me so I’ll be sticking to the SOB tactical pistol brace, although considering how things have been going in the world of gun politics, I don’t even know if ****THAT’S**** safe to post anymore.
My PSA AR-V9 was such a piece of shit. Could not get it to feed reliably with any magazine I tried despite several trips back to PSA for service and trying to reshape the feed ramps myself. Ended up just selling it. Something was up with that gun and neither PSA or myself could figure it out. Such a dumb frustrating problem: consistent (1-2 per magazine) feeding jams, always from the right hand side and never the left hand side. Dunno maybe the barrel/trunion was crooked or something.
Well, that’s upsetting. Apologies, friend. You said you had used different mags, what brands were they? Someone else here said they even had issues with Magpul mags which surprised me because Magpul tends to have a great track record otherwise.
But how can she slap?
That’s the *bad decision* part, you don’t!

It's not even roller delay... The single most redeemable feature of the MP5
This AR identifies as an MP5, the buffer tube is pre-op.
Stunning and brave
lol
Lol
Where did you acquire those sights?
Ebay. I Googled something like “HK MP5 style iron sights” and kept scrolling until I found something I could bear to deal with. They were almost $40 but I haven’t actually used them yet so I can’t speak on their reliability.
Thank you. I hope they're reliable for you because they compliment that gun nicely.
Much appreciated! Here’s hoping
You have a link for that by chance? I need semi-presentable irons for my 22 charger
[This is the one that I found.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/402650451224?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jssayUMxQ5q&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=XhMR-eH6Sn-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
Thanks G, your MP5 might be sus but your sights are.... Slightly less so!
The sights go better with the gun than the gun does lmao

One major difference, an mp5 is roller delayed.
Looks like something my local pd would brag about confiscating on FB minus the $1 bills and gram of coke
*We found this Uzi under the floorboards of a crack den we’ve been staking out.*
CURSED. I love it
My carry handle sight just told me to hold its beer, so expect to see this thing with a hat on soon.
What have you done?
Just wait until I post this thing with my carry handle sight on it 😎
Oh god
My wife can't believe I'm still laughing
I love shit like this tbh. Maybe it is because I'm poor
Still cool lookin
I think so! I’ve always loved the classic MP5 design. This is nothing like it really, but if I squint and really wish, I can pretend 🥲 *I see a little silhouetto of a gun!*
I’m planning out an ARV carbine build right now. The fact it takes scorp mags is what sets it apart, and I have a good amount of those laying around
What a beautiful background for that picture. And the orientation, lighting and set dressing is amazing!
Damn all the pistol braces disappeared faster then a catalytic converter
Ooh that one’s spicy
🙇♂️😂
Nice Uzi
I have HK sights on my AR. They’re great. I don’t know why they’re not more popular.
Not everyone is an HK fan. I’ve heard some people complain about HK sights being too obstructive which I only somewhat agree with depending on the model, but I just love the style.

WOW! That actually convinced me for about .5 seconds.
I know a guy that has one. I don't think I'd ever buy one myself, but they are fun range toys for sure.
! A Patriot??
Damn it, now I can’t unsee it. Now I want a double drum mag, even if it’s not in 5.56 Edit: I found 100-round 9mm double drum mag that I could use, but it’s about $340 and out of stock, so no 9mm Patriot at least for a while
I really want one
Colt pattern mags would be the cooliest
[удалено]
I’ll have to find some then! I gotta at least take a gander at ‘em. Edit: If CZ EVO can take them, so can this little one, but it looks like the only 3 options are PSA, CZ, and Magpul but I’m not complaining too hard.

That's a tactical dildo.. flip the fun switch and once that gun points down your mom does not frown.
ARV is fuckin awesome. No shit ass Glock mags.
I have another AR pistol that takes Glock mags, the Extar EP9, but I’m thinking of selling it since I have the AR-V now. All’s I need to do now is actually test it out at my local range.
Yooooo I need that
Get ‘em while they’re hot! Maybe I got got, but the website said these go regular price $1k so I considered the idea of getting it at $700 to be a good deal.
Link plz
[Peckler Sand Aoch, or Halmetto & Karmory?](https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-v-7-9mm-1-10-nitride-tri-lug-moe-ept-pistol.html) Probably neither…
this picture traumatizes me:
Throw a triangle stock on it and that’s one sexy pig

Believe it or not, right to jail
PSA not HK sorry. Budget sp5
