Century Arms Announces the AP5: Roller Delayed Blowback Firearm Line

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- Century Arms is proud to introduce their AP5 firearm line to the US market. The Century Arms AP5 or “Apparatus Pistol”, is a roller delayed blowback firearm based and built off of the original and historic design from the 1970’s. The roller-lock platform has been widely respected as the preeminent design for over 50 years. Adopted for use across the globe, no other firearm of its type has been more successful. These firearms which are imported from the MKE manufacturing facility in Turkey are available in a full sized model designated simply as the AP5, a midsized version as the AP5-P, and a fully concealable version as the AP5-M.

Each model of the AP5 includes standard: a rugged plastic carry case, two (2) 30-round magazines, a factory cleaning kit, factory picatinny style optics mount, factory sling, and a gun lock. All AP5 firearms are chambered in 9×19 mm and have a cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:9.8” twist. The AP5 and AP5-P barrel each have a 3-lug quick attachment and 1/2×28 threaded end for suppressor mounting options.

“This firearms platform is iconic” says Century Arms Marketing Director Adam Ruonala. “We at Century Arms have been a leader in the US firearms importation business for many years, to now have the opportunity to bring such a fan favorite to the US market under our company flag is truly a huge honor for everyone involved in the project.” The AP5 line is available in stores now and a continuous stream of firearms will be imported regularly.

Aftermarket parts and accessories are available from a number of industries partners as well as from Century Arms directly. For more information on the AP5 one can visit www.centuryarms.com/ap5

For the the price they want you might as well just buy an H&K

“The roller-lock platform has been widely respected as the preeminent design for over 50 years.” Incorrect. Advertising BS at its finest. Perhaps they think that at H & K though… 🙂 THE preeminent (notable above all others) autoloading rifle design is the gas piston, with well over half of the automatic loading rifle designs in the world relying upon it. All other designs share the other half. These are the facts, even though I, personally, prefer the original AR10/15 hybrid piston/DI designs of Eugene Stoner. The double use he gets out of the bolt, by using it as the gas… Read more »

Stag

Exactly.

Cool but with Century Arms’ track record there’s a good chance this will be a steaming pile of unreliable crap. I hope it’s not.

I see them going for $2800-4K

Just get the HK version!!

Stag

That’s a lot of money for a gun of questionable reliability from a company with a track record of poor QC!

Stag,

I posted that because I didn’t see a price in the article. Please don’t take that as a suggestion to buy one or as my view of a reasonable price. I would never pay that kind of money for anything that wasn’t accurate at very long distances and a much higher caliber.
