How much does the budget MP7 build cost?

The total cost for the 'Poor Man's MP7' build, including the KelTec CP33 base firearm and the FarrowTech body kit, typically comes in under $1000, making it a highly affordable way to get an MP7-like appearance.

What are the main drawbacks of the budget MP7 build?

The primary drawbacks are the poor durability of the 3D-printed components, which can crack or break easily, and potential reliability issues stemming from the KelTec CP33's magazine design. It's considered more of a range toy than a defensive firearm.

Is the budget MP7 build quiet?
