I was thinking about submitting one more form 1 for an MP5 SBR before 41F. Anyone see a decent quality MP5 clone on the shelf locally? I'd buy an Omega barreled upper from Atlantic Firearms but I haven't been able to get an answer out of them on whether they can provide me a serial number when I purchase the upper so I can get the eForm submitted. I think I'd like to go with an 8.8 inch barrel full size clone.
Machine Gun Tours had a Zenith, like an MP5K. I think it was one of these http://zenithfirearms.com/product/z-5k-pistol/

MKE/Zenith is the way to go. I have 2 of them (5RS and 5P). As far as on the shelf? I had to order mine in. I have seem one on the shelf here in the Springs but that shop is so over priced I wouldn't even think about buying from them.

You must be talking about FF? I'd never buy from them. I may have to order in, I'd just need to get it from somewhere that will give me the serial number right away. I really like the Omega from Atlantic because it is already 922r compliant.
I'd take a contract gun over a US made one. I have both the MKE and POF variants. IMHO they're both equal in function and build quality. The MKE does have a nicer paint job and comes with more accessories, but it also costs more. If you don't care about a hard case, optics mount and cleaning kit, I think the POF is the better deal. Good luck getting one locally for a price you're willing to pay.

They have quite the reputation Lol.
The first one I got I picked up from a small home based dealer in Castle Rock. Great guy but when I tried to order the second one 6 months later he just didn't seem that interested and after trying for a several weeks I gave up and ordered it from Kelly Enterprises (they had a sale going on at the time). He shipped the entire package with all accessories to my FFL. They aren't on sale any more unfortunately.

Triggertime has a few of them that are already registered SBRs.

Atlanticfirearms.com has a bunch of clones for sale, often in stock. They'd probably help you out with the serial #.

The only difference between now and the 13th is submitting prints and photos. Little late to the pre 41F rush ;)

I've got a bunch of form 1s in but decided I'd like an hk clone as well. It's not too late until the 13th, lol

That and the lack of eFile for Form 1s.
Also Dakota > Zenith

For now. The feds are running 4-6 months be it e-file or paper. I'd rather paper file after the 13th. This way i don't receive some cookie cutter e-mail, telling me there's a glitch in the new online process. 3.5 months in to the waiting period

A bit late but I did a POF5 a last year and it has been great once i replaced the ejector lever with a New gen German one.
