Someone give me a reason to not buy this.
Or, lacking that, general thoughts are welcome. :)

If its going on a MP5 (or variant) then do it.
I’d go Dead Air Wolf.
That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking fullsize, not a K.Quote:

Pulled the trigger on the Phoenix.
'dat girthy boi.
Since I have an SP-5 on layaway, this is on my radar as well. I’m eager to hear your review.
I'm resurrecting this thread to ask for feedback. @TGS, what do you think of the Phoenix? I'm considering one for a dedicated sub-gun can on an incoming MP5 clone.Quote:

Thanks so much for the feedback. Sorry to hear about the infidelity, but I guess it's better to learn about it sooner rather than later. If you're in the market for an MP5 clone anytime soon, the Century AP5 (MKE) is reportedly one of the better ones for the price, and they're running a $200 rebate until the end of August.
I can attest to that can being chunky, quiet and just a pleasure to shoot!Quote:

I have a Gemtech Mk9K which the Phoenix is a clone of, and the only complaint I have is that there's a significant POI shift between suppressed and unsuppressed.
I'll be back this weekend, I'm in Europe right now.Quote:
