NEW: Omega MP5SD Barreled Uppers At Atlantic Firearms -The Firearm Blog

Atlantic Firearms has just announced the release of their Omega SD Barreled Receiver – basically the ‘heart and soul’ of an MP5SD patterned pistol. The receiver includes everything you need to own an SD roller-lock gun, minus the trigger group and an appropriate SD suppressor.

Offering a barreled upper for sale to consumers makes a lot of sense: for one, since there is no suppressor or short barreled rifle (SBR) involved in the sale, there is no National Firearms Act (NFA) transfer paperwork required. Second, the end user is free to choose the SD suppressor of their choice. Lastly, the Form 1 process can be used to SBR the Omega, and in the mean time, the SD can be (quietly) enjoyed as a pistol if you alread own an SD suppressor.

The Omega SD Barreled Reciever starts at $1,699 and is available to order through Atlantic Firearms website.
