MasterPiece Arms MPA570SST-SBR Short Barrel Rifle
Apart from the name, which is a bit of a mouthful (The MasterPiece Arms Em Pee Ay Five Seven Zero Es Es Tee – Es Bee Are), the MPA570SST-SBR is a nifty short barrelled carbine chambered in the 5.7x28mm round.
It features a 10″ threaded barrel, folding stock, iron sights, top scope rail and forward quad rail and Strike Industries Foregrip.
The MSRP is $800, making it a cheap way to own a semi-automatic 5.7mm carbine to complement a 5.7mm pistol. For comparison, the FN PS90 sells for about $1700.

I would agree that it is a poor mans mp7a1. And the only way civies could come close as of now to having a mp7. Shape and egro wise its very similar. Is iy hk quality prob not. But with the hk not even in the realm of possibility. Its not a bad option. And the price is affordable for the common man even if the the ammo isnt.
I have one of the 57sst pistols. Low recoil, zero FTF or FTE, and surprisingly accurate. Been shooting the ATK 57 ammo, which is nice that an American Company finally started making this round. But the weapon is actually very well built and although the grip looks bulky, its comfortable to shoot - or should I say I dont notice the grip will shooting. Have about 1K rounds through the weapon with no issues. The FN 57 mags will work, but I had to polish down a tab on the magazine to get it to fit properly in the mag well.
