I have contacted them, and I am very excited to see more firearms chambered in 5.7.

Great looking rifle and pistol. My only qualm is the very limited mag capacity. I can see where patent issues would come into play over the p90 type top loading magazine though, so I understand.
I'm really glad more firearms are being made in 5.7x28. The more the better. I have hopes that this cartridge will become a lot more popular so that the price of ammo will go down and more manufacturers will start making it.

No reason why the AR versions could not use the FsM mag.

I don't understand why they would want it to use fsn mags, if they make their own proprietary mag, they make more money selling mags.

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
True on the mags; in my humble opinion, not considering money to be made off mags, the 50 round top loading mag is a very efficient and compact design already. I'd really like to see the reliability, durability, and accuracy of these new rifles when the tests are run. An upper utilizing a AR-15 lower would by far be ideal. Price is a huge factor as always as well. It seems the $1700-$2000 P90 is suffering badly right now; I think that may have been caused in part by the AR57 since one can be built for half the price of a P90 and it has cheaper/easier to find/replace parts--who knows!
Like I said, the more 5.7 guns made, the better!!! What we need now is another ammunition manufacturer making 5.7 ammo. Perhaps if there were a proliferation of 5.7 eating rifles and pistols, then there would be a decent market for some ammo manufacturers to get into. This is my hope at least.

Because 9 round mags will be a no starter with this crowed and will hurt them in sales.

I am looking foreword to side by side testing of the pistols with the vids put up on youtube. Same platforms so it will be great to finally be able to deal a nice mouth full of STFU to all the "It's only a 22mag" crowd.

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
A companion 5.7 carbine using an FsN mag would be awesome, and I'd definitely buy one. A 5.7 upper to an AR lower using the FsN mag would replace 2 of my long guns. However, from my investigating into such an animal, the feed angle of the FsN mag makes it a poor choice for a rifle unless fed thru the pistol grip like the HiPoints.panzermk2 wrote:No reason why the AR versions could not use the FsM mag.

Looks very impressive. Glad to see someone making a gun platform in 5.7 beside FN It should be pretty interesting to see the accuracy rating of these.
Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
Color me interested, I like both of the rifles
Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
Good price point!--looks like you may just get a good foot in the door on the 5.7 market! =) I built my AR57 for $850 for basics not including the magpul BUIS, rail covers, optics, etc.
So there's a definite price advantage in comparison. Still a capacity issue. Sure 50 rounds are not necessarily "Needed", but the AR57 sold so well because of the novelty of the top loading 50 round magazine since people "want" it. "Want"= the majority of demand--- Need does not necessarily=Want, but Want is always >Need in the market.
Ever consider experimenting with quad-stack mags? That might be a "cool factor" that would increase sales. I definitely would want at least 30 round mags--I love going hog/coyote hunting with a 50 round mag and not having to reload the entire day! I have yet to need more than 30 for a day--usually 30 is the standard.
On a much more practical level, I would definitely like to see a stand alone upper that can use a standard AR15 lower and either a magwell block for this mag type, or a new style of magazine that fits the regular AR-15 magwell.
I like how a fluted heavy SS barrel was used on the Accelerator though. Overall, I'm impressed. Testing is the final step--if everything checks out with reliability and durability, I may just have to get one of those myself at that price.
I'm guessing that price includes the iron sights? or not?

Please keep us posted when you start shipping these to distributers. I'll start putting a bug in Ron Shirk's ear that we'll be wanting some of these.
Great job guys.

Again thanks for all the interest!
We updated our website this morning under the new products category.
there is a downloadable tech sheet also available.
Some of you have asked if the uppers are interchangeable.
The X series models are not built like a AR where you can change them out.
I have been in contact an we are getting all the info on becoming a sponsor of this website

Wow, very cool. Hopefully this will get the 5.7 a little more main stream.
What is the twist rate on the barrel? I assume 1 in 9.
I was planning on getting a keltec pmr30 but might just have to get one of those MP5-7 pistols instead. Or both. :laugh:

I am new to this forum so pardon me for revisiting this , I am very interested in the 5.7 round but have not built/purchased an AR57 upper because of the odd top loading mag method. Are there any thoughts of having a standard upper chambered in 5.7 built using the standard magwell?
I contacted a couple 5.7 manufacturers and got a reply from one, Excel Arms, they were very fast to reply (which was a suprise). Unfortunately they responded with "At this time we do not have any plans for a 5.7 upper to fit the AR platform, But you never know what will come up next! Thanks for the interest.."
Any thoughts?
Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
Yea I'm interested, but I would much prefer if if the X models used FSN mags. I have enough of those, and going directly from pistol to rifle would be awesome.

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
There are two weapons I'd like to see chambered in the 5.7x28...
*A competitor to the HK MP7 chambered in the BETTER 5.7x28. i.e. a sub-subgun with vertical mag. Sell it as a pistol and SBR-it to get the foregrip on the front and stock. The AR-pistol that EXCEL makes doesn't seem like it fits into this category, it would need a TRUE telescoping stock and much shorter barrel and different operating system.
*A small, lightweight bolt-action rifle with heavy varmit barrel that can exploit the full potential of the round. .17hmr what?

I would like a gas operated gun, that way us reloaders can use some slower powders to get some of the heavier weight bullets moving out pretty good. I would LOVE to have a barrel, bolt, and magazine for a desert eagle. I think that would be frickin sweet.
A small bolt gun would be neat too. If I could get one close the size/weight of my .17hmr savage I would probably sell the .17hmr :laugh: . (Lies, I would never sell a gun )
/end highjack
I do plan to pick up one of these pistols some time next year.

I like the looks of these, but I would have preferred one with more of a delayed blowback action. I'm not sure that this design would handle the 17 cal wildcats on this case - like the 17 Velociraptor.

I already have an Accelerator Rifle chambered in .22 WMR can i convert it to the 5.7x28mm and roughly how much would it cost if it were possible ? I fear that the magazine well on the black polymer lower of my current .22WMR Accelerator rifle is to narrow to accommodate the New 5.7x28mm magazine.

Should get my Excel MP-17 Friday and if it shoots as well as people say, I will be standing in line for an MP-5.7 when they are available. All the information I can get says these things are tack drivers in .17 HMR. If so, I'll be looking forward to the extra zip of the 5.7 as well as the ability to reload.

Thanks for the info about the MR-22 converison idea i agree it wouldn't be very practical. About the Model X-5.7R will it have some type of bull barrel or possibly a chrome lined barrel ?Excel Arms wrote:We have built a new magazine for our ACCELERATOR SERIES 5.7x28mm line, Along with making all the necessary changes to accommodate a centerfire round. It would not be feasible to convert the MR-22 to the MR-5.7

When making all the necessary changes to accommodate a centerfire round into our MR line, It would not be feasible to convert the MR-17 to the MR-5.7..
All of our production 5.7 models will be available in January..
Thanks to all the guys that have placed orders already!
We are taking orders now and the list is growing fast!

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
any chance of you all making a bull barrel version of the X series down the road? i really like both rifles, and would love to have the bull barrel, but higher capacity is a big factor to me. that or any chance of a higher cap mag for the accelerator?

Finally got a chance to try out my new Excel MP-17 (Accelerator) which is the basis for one of the new 5.7's they are coming out with - thought you guys might want to know what I thought. The pistol is very well made and heavy. I have only put about 50 rounds through so far so take all of what I say with a grain of salt. Not feeding well yet but getting better so I don't think that will be a problem once I have fired some more rounds to break everything in. As far as shooting the pistol, two words come to mind - amazing and disappointing. Accuracy potential of this pistol is amazing. I believe it has the potential to be one of the most accurate pistols and by far the most accurate semi-auto I have ever fired. The disappointing comes in relationship to the trigger. It is the roughest stiffest most awful I have ever pulled. Remember, I only have just under 50 rounds down the pipe so far and should get better, but my Kel-Tec DAO's have better triggers and they are awful. Part of the reason there are so few rounds down the pipe is because I couldn't pull that trigger anymore. Bottom line - these guns have the potential to be great, but mine is ruined by a trigger that is (thus far) atrocious. Again - remember - less than 50 rounds fired so far. Will let you all know what I find as I shoot it more.

Interesting maybe EA should look into trigger on the Excel system like we do on the FsN. These are all early production guns though and that might have something to do with it. Also takes at least 300 rounds to break a gun in it might/should get better.

wahlspyder,
If you would like for us to take a look at your trigger we can get you a RA number for return shipment.. Normally there is not an issue with the trigger pull, It should be around 4 to 5 lbs..
or you can call us at 1-909-627-2404
THANKS!

Well, Its nowhere near 4-5 lbs, but I haven't gotten through the recommended break-in either. Sounds like one way or another I'm going to have a good shooter though whether the trigger loosens up on its own or the good people at Excel take care of it.
Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A

Hello we are finishing up some magazine tooling on the new models.. Still January seems to be the month of production availability!
We did have a great response to the new 5.7 line at our NASGW show last month, And our wholesalers already have placed orders for them. We will be attending ELLETT's and CAMFOUR's dealer shows next month, and invite anyone that is attending these shows to come by our booth and say Hi and view our new products!
Thanks to Elite Ammunition for sending some of their ammo! Cant wait to see how it performs in our line.. :guns:

hm. Come to think about it I wouldn't mind using one at a match to give it a TRUE test of how it runs, no range plinking involved. Just run and gun. Just wanted people to see how cool the EA ringer T's are
That's EA at the Carbine match.

Update on Excel arms accelerator (.17HMR version)
Had reported on early heavy trigger and jamming from top half of the magazine. Happy to say that after firing a few more break in rounds, cleaning thoroughly, and oiling trigger group with synthetic oil all is well and the pistol is every bit as accurate as i'd hoped.

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
A CX4 type carbine that uses the standard FsN 20 round mags would be awesome. (And there are easy upgrades to make it a 30 rounder, or more.)
The AR style setup is nice too, as many are used to that platform, and can go from using a 9mm AR carbine to the 5.7x28 to keep carry rounds the same if using the FsN pistol for duty carry for example. (One of the things I love about the CX4 is the 92 mags from the pistol fit the carbine, and large capacity mags fit either as well.)
These appear to be very nice options, especially for the prices!
If the thumbhole stock'd setup used the FsN mags, that's it right there. 16.1" stainless fluted bull, and if I can be so bold, back up sights built into the optics mounting rail. (Peep type, under the mount, sure the sight radius is short, but they are only back up sights, and any holo type, or red dot can be mounted above it.)
It would be an awesome back up/truck weapon for duty carry.

I can't understand what is taking so long when there are so many interested parties. I'll let you guys know if I get any kind of response from them.

It also appears that the Accelerator rifle/pistol are gone from the lineup, just leaving the X series.
Seems their 17hmr version of the accelerator too is gone. I talked at great length with a local shop owner who said he had never gotten it to work right, sent it back and forth over 3x to no avail. He was a gunsmith himself, but didn't want to tinker too heavily being that it was still brand spankin new.

Sorry for delay in reponding to your email. I will say that the ACCELERATOR SERIES is now shipping with the X-SERIES soon to follow. We started shipping models: MR-5.7 (RIFLES) first and are now shipping pistols.

Your on the top of my list! I appreciate your patience.
We have not removed the ACCELERATOR SERIES from our line. We have stopped producing 17HMR models due to the inconsistent ammo. ACCELERATOR SERIES is available in 22WMR and now 5.7x28mm which is going very strong!ynoty3k wrote:It also appears that the Accelerator rifle/pistol are gone from the lineup, just leaving the X series.

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
Can a fixed length AR style buttstock, i.e. an A2 be fitted to an X-5.7 rifle? I'm not a big fan of the telescoping stocks and I think putting a fixed stock on this rifle would be a great idea. I might be the only one who thinks so but to each their own right?

Re: Two NEW firearm models chambered for 5.7x28mm by EXCEL A
I do "Bear", I have the accelerator chambered in 5.7x28mm, bought it a couple of months ago, haven't even gotten it through the break-in period yet and its already broken the internal bolt/buffer. In fact, have called/left messages for Excel several times without a return call. Not sure whats up with that but not very good business in my eyes. I'd be eager to speak with a representative of theirs if one of them reads this?? :-)
Excel Arms MP-5.7 Review
Excel MP-5.7 Review
All, this is my first post here, and I would like to recount for you my success with a fine Excel Arms product, the MP-5.7. I would like to do this….I would also like to have hair, but that isn’t happening either. Let me jump right into it.
I returned from Afghanistan in early 2014, and decided I wanted to purchase a 5.7 chambered pistol. The Excel looked like a bargain, and the longer bull barrel promised an increased velocity. I shopped gunbroker, and eventually struck a deal in November for just under $600.00, including the FFL transfer and shipping.
The pistol arrived shortly after, and in December, I went to the range with my new acquisition to take the measure of the pistol. This was somewhat curtailed by the minor fact that the pistol DID NOT FIRE. Not only did this new, out of the box pistol not fire, it did not even show a primer strike in several dozen attempts. I have purchased 110 year old Colts, new pistols from Kel-Tec to Sig and have never, ever, had a turd out of the box, but I surely had one now.
I went on to the Excel website, and contacted them immediately…..nothing. I waited a month, and repeated the procedure…nothing. I called, and was trapped in the hell of endless phone message, so I wrote again, and on 21 May 2015, I received the following response:
“Hello – Sorry to hear about your trouble.
Can you check to be sure the screws, specifically the rear screw on the top of the pistol rib is snug down tight with the allen Hex wrench.
The screws can become loose and this will cause malfunctions. They need to be kept snug down tight.
If after you have checked the screws, then you can send the firearm into us to check out for you.
Your Return Authorization number is RA# XXXXX.
Ship it to our address listed below. Do not include any live rounds, but do include your magazines.
Please fill out the warranty card and send it in to activate the warranty.
Thanks.
Kathy”
While not exactly pleased with being told to repair my own firearm before sending it in, I tried it, no joy. I whipped the pistol to Excel Arms, which Fed Ex (on my dime) confirmed arrived on 29 May 2015.
Insert long pause of hearing nothing here, not even an email confirming receipt.
I wrote an email to Kathy on 01 June (no response) and a second on 10 July 2015, which stated the following:
“Second Inquiry (first un-responded) as to the status of my pistol. I am becoming....concerned.”
On 12 July 2015, I received the following reply”
“Hello,
The firearm is here. I will get back to you on Monday or Tuesday to advise.
Thanks,
Kathy”
Since then (it is now the early hours of 18 July 2015) I have not heard a word, through any of the vast communications options available. I have no pistol, no $600.00 and even if I received the item back tomorrow, it would be forever stained in my mind by indifferent and slipshod construction, followed by perversely bad customer service. This is a firearm, a somewhat serious product, and this bunch seems to care about neither their customers nor their reputation.
So I am posting here, and to every related discussion board I can find. Please consider my experience with the Excel Arms MP-5.7 before you purchase this shiny doorstop. The typical negative customer service experience gets related between 11 and 20 times, I am going to try to better this number, and perhaps in doing so can create pressure on Excel Arms to better their customer focus.

All, this is my first post here, and I would like to recount for you my success with a fine Excel Arms product, the MP-5.7. I would like to do this….I would also like to have hair, but that isn’t happening either. Let me jump right into it.
I returned from Afghanistan in early 2014, and decided I wanted to purchase a 5.7 chambered pistol. The Excel looked like a bargain, and the longer bull barrel promised an increased velocity. I shopped gunbroker, and eventually struck a deal in November for just under $600.00, including the FFL transfer and shipping.
The pistol arrived shortly after, and in December, I went to the range with my new acquisition to take the measure of the pistol. This was somewhat curtailed by the minor fact that the pistol DID NOT FIRE. Not only did this new, out of the box pistol not fire, it did not even show a primer strike in several dozen attempts. I have purchased 110 year old Colts, new pistols from Kel-Tec to Sig and have never, ever, had a turd out of the box, but I surely had one now.
I went on to the Excel website, and contacted them immediately…..nothing. I waited a month, and repeated the procedure…nothing. I called, and was trapped in the hell of endless phone message, so I wrote again, and on 21 May 2015, I received the following response:
“Hello – Sorry to hear about your trouble.
Can you check to be sure the screws, specifically the rear screw on the top of the pistol rib is snug down tight with the allen Hex wrench.
The screws can become loose and this will cause malfunctions. They need to be kept snug down tight.
If after you have checked the screws, then you can send the firearm into us to check out for you.
Your Return Authorization number is RA# XXXXX.
Ship it to our address listed below. Do not include any live rounds, but do include your magazines.
Please fill out the warranty card and send it in to activate the warranty.
Thanks.
Kathy”
While not exactly pleased with being told to repair my own firearm before sending it in, I tried it, no joy. I whipped the pistol to Excel Arms, which Fed Ex (on my dime) confirmed arrived on 29 May 2015.
Insert long pause of hearing nothing here, not even an email confirming receipt.
I wrote an email to Kathy on 01 June (no response) and a second on 10 July 2015, which stated the following:
“Second Inquiry (first un-responded) as to the status of my pistol. I am becoming....concerned.”
On 12 July 2015, I received the following reply”

I consider mine a $600.00 suppository.

I will wait for user reviews. Then maybe?

I seem to be the only person who has one that functions.
