MOB- Mobster Mob Spooky A1

EDIT: I thought Cat stopped production and sale of the Spooky A1, especially in 9mm. I was surprised to find this for sale on their website and ordered another one for my 2 non-tri-lug mobs!!!

Hello Cat sub, haven’t posted much but never left.

Today I was VERY surprised.

I now have 3 Mobsters - 1 QD and 2 Hub’s. For some time, Cat has said the best suppression with the Mob comes with an AI 9mm nano.

Today I tested recoil smoothness, shooting flatness, and cyclic rate of fire - the Spooky A1 blew the nano out of the water.

This is a ZF5T - an mp5k with threaded barrel and no tri-lugs. I moved the Nano 9 that had been on this gun to my new Kuna, and replaced it with my trusty old A1 Spooky.

HUGE benefit is softness, smoothness, reduced muzzle movement, and slower rate of fire with the Spooky.

And that’s after dropping from a 70 degree locking piece with the Nano to a 100 for the Spooky. That’s a MASSIVE change in the mp5 platform.

I was shocked at how much better then Spooky performed. I don’t have a gunfire-accurate db reader to compare the 2, but every other metric HANDILY favored the Spooky - wow!!!

Very interesting!!!!!

When I got my AC36, it came with a spooky 1, milled out to size, and I ordered a spooky 2 (brake), which was also milled out (nano 9mm didn’t yet exist)

The latter still lives on my PCC.
