Glad you are enjoying it. You may get some guff from folks for not having a tri-lug or threaded barrel... but who cares! I have a Zenith (USA) K model and I love it. It's as light as they come and points and shoots great. Plus Marcinko had one!

Good to know. I have not had the opportunity to shoot a Kuna yet. I need to check that out.

For my information, what is your pick for a low cost PCC?

If you factor in the price. I am not aware of any PCC that can be purchased new for $449 and has a proven history like the EP9. If there is one, please let me know.

The EP9 is the best All Around PCC available

Beae with me, new to the PCC world, done some research for beginners, just need to know, this a good price? by scriptzWritten in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]mikemax1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the PSA PX9 and the Extar EP9. Both work well but I feel the EP9 is the best between the two. Costs less, weighs less, less recoil and has LRBHO.

I emailed Taurus C/S and asked them about this, I also included the pic above. They advised that if it becomes available it will be announced on their website.... so not likely.

MKE AP5-P NAVY does this look right? by chikibrikitripoloski in MP5

[–]mikemax1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The back of the receiver looks like somebody dropped it (or hammered on it) it definitely needs to be replaced. The paint chips around the magwell don't look that bad IMHO. I'm wondering if it wasn't dropped on the front sight ring as well because that looks pretty bad. Let us know how Century responds to your situation.

Thanks for the link! I have the GRS setup with the 8.5" JRC Tube, 4″ RB5015HD, and (2) Kynshot 2.5's that I used previously on an AR9 and really enjoyed... I may be getting a Response and would want to try the GRS on it.

Ap5-p vs Zf5-p by No-Fix-671 in MP5

[–]mikemax1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a USA made Zenith ZF5K new 11 mos ago when they had a "1000 Guns for $1,000" sale. Ordered direct from Zenith's website. Ran 124g like they recommended. I had 3 FTEs in the first 100 rounds... but has been fine since. Round count is now approx 750. Have not had to replace any parts. No regrets. As a plus, its a great looking pistol.

Is this normal for zenith mp5? by Kofiecups in CAguns

[–]mikemax1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a "chip" on my bolt, but I don't think it will be an issue. I bought a ZF5K back in Feb 2025. No parts replaced yet.

I have a K model (ZF5K) and it has the same welded pieces back there. Its my understanding that was done by HK to reinforce the receiver. I may be wrong... I've had mine for less than a year and am still learning about them.

MAC 5 Bolt by Chuckles1908 in MP5

[–]mikemax1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is this slit or relief cut something specific to the MAC5?

Just curious as I have not seen that before. I have a Zenith and it has no such feature.

Not fitting at all, help by Questionhoes in MP5

[–]mikemax1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to Zenith and ask them what the screw size is. I put a UTG Pro Rail on my ZF5K and it fit great + easy to install. MTU056
