I was fairly impressed at the MKE booth at shot. I liked that all the clones had the paddle mag release and the fit and finish seemed excellent.

I've had MKE's for about 5-6 years now with many, many rounds through them. They just shoot and shoot and shoot. The full sized one pictured doesn't particularly like the polymer mags (but the K works fine with them. Once in a great while (like maybe one out of 150 rounds) I'll get a jam with the K using straight mags but the full sized one does fine with them. Accuracy with every MKE I've shot has been stellar at 50 yards (I don't see the point in shooting them at a farther distance). I usually shoot at pieces of broken clay pigeons (again, 50 yards) and hit them about 99% of the time. A red dot is really an asset on these little guns.

The POF is going to the range for the first time tomorrow. I'll mostly be testing for function because I can't imagine doing proper accuracy testing without a stock.

I went to the range today. I took an HK93, a Beretta ARX 100 and the POF. First, let me say that the Beretta, while dead nuts reliable is NO HK. Comparing the two is like comparing a Land Rover to a Suzuki Samurai. Both are capable but one is SOOOO much more refined and smooth. As for the POF. I took 100 rounds but gave up after only 48. It was a straight up jamomatic. It may not have been the fault of the gun though. I've never shot one of these things as a pistol and I was going to shoot it from the hip like a submachine gun. However, several people showed up and one of them was introducing a newcomer to shooting. I didn't want to look like a wannbe Rambo, especially with a newb on the range, so I sat down and rested the POF on a support as you would a pistol. It was flipping up quite a bit and short cycling, presumably because I was limp wristing it. Consequently, I was getting lots of FTE's. Again, I'm not used to shooting a rifle as a pistol. I must have looked like a fool. Anywho, I'm going to go to another range that's almost always deserted and try again. I can go "Rambo" there. and shoot it two handed and well supported. I'll report back at that time.

I have a friend who dove up there and picked one of these up. That guy sent some back and didn't want to sell them due to some out of spec. stuff. My friends looks and shoots fine to be. He had had it for almost a year. Ill see if he will let me take it home and ill get some pictures.

I took the POF out to the range again today. This time I held it so that it could not jump around and put 200 rounds through it without incident. 100% reliable and you could feel it getting smoother as the round count increased. It throws the brass out about 6 feet which is a little less than I am used to but as stated, it worked just fine. I took 8 magazines each loaded with 25 rounds:



From left to right we have 2 steel POF, 1 straight steel HK, 3 steel MKE and two polymer MKE. As you can see, I shot ammunition from four different manufacturers. All rounds were 115gr. except for the MKE which was 123gr.

Target at a range of 50 yards:



There are 230 impacts on that target. 30 of them (the ones in and just below the bullseye) are 5.56 and were shot with a Beretta ARX 100 so ignore those. The remaining 200 were through the POF with the sights as they came out of the box. I'll get around to adjusting the sights later as today was primarily about function testing. I was firing pretty fast so I know it can do better but I'm pretty happy with the results considering it was done without a stock. It seems to group pretty well. So, if you ask me, the little POF MP5 does its job just fine!

I don't really have any of guns WITH the jeep but I do have a few of the Jeep. It was made sometime in Jan-Feb 1946. The body and frame match but the motor, while still a 60hp L134, is not the original. Fortunately, whoever replaced the motor back whenever kept the original 1946 bolt on bits (they were still using up left over military parts at that point so they were different than later full civilian models). I forget the serial number bit it's lower than 1500. I still have the column shift transmission (dated Oct. 1945) and linkage but it has a floor shift unit in it as that setup is more reliable.












Yours looks to be a VERY nice CJ5? Post some pictures please!
