5.7mm AR Uppers - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I might have missed if this was discussed previously.

57Center.com

pretty neat idea imo

To bad the ammo is so expensive.

Anyone had a chance to play with them?
One of the wholesalers I use has a bunch, they are 650ea. Seems like a good idea given how scares uppers are.

The 650.00 does not inlcude a mag does it?

Myanarchy · 03-10-2009, 02:54 PM

do they use 5.7 mags or somehow p-90 mags?

Mo · 03-10-2009, 02:57 PM

that's a funky looking upper.

the p90 mag lays up against the top of the barrel

TheRookie · 03-10-2009, 02:59 PM

A friend has one that runs on p90 mags. Pretty cool stuff. I put 50 through it and had a good time. Probably best suited for a lower that offers group therapy.

If you were a criminal element it's a perfect weapon... You could cut a normal AR mag in half and attach a little cloth or whatever bag to it, insert in magwell and wallah...no brass left at the crime scene LOL

Frankenyota · 03-11-2009, 03:32 AM

I'd like one just like that but in 7.62X25

x2 I love that round.

I really like the idea of the 5.7 uppers, but I'm to cheap to feed one.

According to the thread at arfcom they are actually shipping, though I have no idea how much. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=15&t=347428

It would be cool as hell as an SBR using the PPsh Mags.

I pay about .40 a round locally plus tax, FWIW.

PS90 mags.

Word is the short uppers for SBR lowers can be had cheaper and easy due to lack of demand.

That's two awesome ideas in the last few posts BTW. (the other was in the "Which .50 BMG?" thread. You may have AK issues, but maybe its just from overthinking that big brain of yours....)

I like the upper idea, and that price is great if a mag comes with it. Those 50 round mags are selling for $50 to $100.00. You can easily make a 30 round a fifty...but the tens are stuck at ten rounds due to design some how I read.

I have a PS90 and Five-seveN pistol. I do not recommend it to anyone looking at them. The ammo is hard to find and the coolness fades. I am not selling anytime soon, but would not buy again with what I know now. I pulled a 5.7 bullets the other day and its really not much different from a .223.

I'd pass if thinking of buying into the 5.7 group.

Jason R · 03-11-2009, 11:23 AM

I recently shot a full auto P90. Fun little weapon. Seems like a cool upper, and it should work with a M16/FA lower.

offroadr1 · 03-11-2009, 01:05 PM

they have been around for a while. i want one, just been getting other stuff though.

Napoleon047 · 03-11-2009, 03:36 PM

Is that price of yours with shipping included or not?
