[Pistol] Century Arms AP51 $1350 no tax free shipping

M_Betty@reddit

Just went today to the range with the AP53 I SBRd, its the 223/556 variant. Oh boy does it rock, roller delayed guns are crazy fun to shoot.

[-]

IggyWon@reddit

Just picked up a PTR-32P. Waiting on the stamp and hating the HK tax, but it's an absolute riot to shoot.

[-]

How’s the fit and finish on yours? First one I received had a canted front sight/cocking tube, sent it back and the replacement for it had straight sights but the flats on top of the receiver for mounting a claw mount were welded on crooked and so the mount wasn’t sitting straight. On try #3 I finally got one that was good alignment / nothing crooked.

theDudeUh@reddit

Out of curiosity did you just reject it when it arrived at your FFL or were the replacements through century’s warranty?

I went through a similar saga with my AP5. First one had issues, sent it in on warranty, came back still with the same issues, sent it in again and asked for a replacement. The replacement was straight as an arrow and runs great. Quickly became one of my favorites.

Planning on getting an AP53 but not excited to play QC roulette again.

I purchased through Atlantic. The first time, I rejected it at the FFL and Atlantic sent another no questions asked. The first replacement looked good until I got home and discovered the issue with the claw mount/rear sight base alignment. I felt kinda bad going back to Atlantic and looking like a picky customer… so the next time I just went through Century warranty and they provided a label for me to ship the gun back to them and then sent me the replacement that I now have.

If you've ever shot a gun that's like detonating a flashbang in front of your face, go ahead and hit that like button.

TacoSplosions@reddit

Interesting way to whiten you're teeth

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

Needs 1" barrel for max shenanigans and min practicality

[-]

I_had_the_Lasagna@reddit

I put the most obnoxious muzzle brake I could on my 5.56 krink and the fireballs are massive in broad daylight and I can feel the concussion in my stomach and it makes me uneasy.

[-]

Corey307@reddit

You feel queasy because you’re giving yourself brain damage. No amount of hearing protection is sufficient when you’re shooting rifle caliber from a barrel this short.

[-]

I_had_the_Lasagna@reddit

Huh I wonder if that's why my nose started bleeding right after. I shall rename her the brain-damageinator.

[-]

Corey307@reddit

Might want to get a suppressor, you’re doing actual harm to yourself and that’s no bueno.

[-]

Cleared_Direct@reddit

It’s fine, you just spend another $700 on a suppressor. Bam, same length and db as a full length-wait

[-]

MediumRedMetallic@reddit

It’s more about dumbing down the concussion. It softens the blow.

Source: I built a 7.5” AR308 for fun!

[-]

joeg26reddit@reddit

Softens the blow?

I told my gf less teeth

[-]

c0ldgurl@reddit

Learned this the hard way. Looking to lengthen the barrel on that fun, loud mistake.

YEAH! FIREBALLS!!

chunt75@reddit

Before my can got approved, my SAM-7K was like that. Especially indoors. To say I was disliked at the indoor range in the winters is an understatement

[-]

TheBlackComet@reddit

I have a lone eagle in .308. It is a rotary breach hand cannon. It is intense to say the least. It kind of feels like punching a brick wall. I have one in .223 and that is honestly a pleasure to shoot

[-]

hruebsj3i6nunwp29@reddit

This plus the ARHK, auto flash bang dispenser

[-]

Crafty-Strategy-7959@reddit

Keep going I'm almost there

[-]

hruebsj3i6nunwp29@reddit

Get a flash enhancer or brake for added fun

[-]

NewbRedditer@reddit

[-]

Ok-Basket-9890@reddit

FUCK that. I’ve shot one of these full auto before, and while it was funny to dump a mag out of it once, there’s no way in hell I’d ever buy one of these myself let alone FRT it lol. I’ve already got enough brain damage. Full size for sure though

[-]

CrankyOperator@reddit

My reluctance is 308 prices vs going deaf (I'm already near deaf.)

[-]

bubbathedesigner@reddit

WHAAAT?

[-]

Pacman8909@reddit

I’m half way wetaded so this has been on mind for while, is it crazy I’m looking for 6” model

[-]

Enutty1776@reddit

you do it

Pacman8909@reddit

I make gun content it’s on my mind ngl @fullylegal.j on IG

[-]

75w90@reddit

Yum.. import

[-]

uncleacidsdeadbeat@reddit

I get that its a configuration of someone else's (HK's) rifle thats impossible to obtain without spending stupid kinds of money, but at the end of the day you're still spending $1400 on turkshit.....

[-]

bulbousgrandpa@reddit

These are built with HK licensed tooling, it's not like this is a horribly reverse engineered version of an HK gun

[-]

pandamonia23@reddit

Where's the AP5 deals? Do we need to wait till August?

[-]

CompetitionIsKey@reddit (OP)

Same site has AP5 but idk if it’s a deal https://bickhamfirearms.com/product/century-arms-ap5-core-9mm-blk-8-9-301/

[-]

isthatcake2@reddit

Atlantic currently has the AP5 core bundle with 6 mags, sling, and cleaning kit for $1350. If someone has to buy it now, Atlantic’s bundle would be a better deal vs this dealer has it for $1305 with one mag. The extras in Atlantic’s bundle are worth the extra $45.

[-]

QuasisteIlar@reddit

Yeah, that's just kinda standard price now for the full kit with extra mags, it seems. I don't think it's a bad deal, but finding those under 1k deals like we used to might be over. And if you do hit 1k, it'll be the LT version with no extras (which may be what many want--it's just no tri-lug).

[-]

Hyena_Historical@reddit

What's a reasonable price to get an AP5 in the current market?

[-]

Echo_Raptor@reddit

$1000-1200 for the core. They don’t go on sale like they used to though

[-]

Iliketeethdds@reddit

That's been sold out for weeks bro

[-]

ZigZagZero@reddit

Oof not a deal at $1300

[-]

NewbRedditer@reddit

1305... Nope

[-]

Kookaburra2@reddit

I've been wondering the same thing - they seem to be imported in spurts. I just check atlantic regularly now

[-]

Platanium@reddit

I don't need it

[-]

Sure-Crazy3212@reddit

Yes u do

[-]

HyperionArmament@reddit

Deal on AP53?

mattbick2003@reddit

https://atlanticfirearms.com/mkecentury-ap53-pistol- Atlantic pretty much dominates with century imports

[-]

djburn831@reddit

If I wanted to sbr this doesn't it use a specific stock/spring?

[-]

KeyAcanthocephala881@reddit

Just anything that has buffer built in, you can use the cap that’s already installed take it apart and buy a g3 butt will mount into existing cap along with buffer and guide spring.

[-]

GuysLeeFanboy@reddit

“WHATT?!!”

[-]

Package_Objective@reddit

Just get a SW 500 magnum at that point.

[-]

ArmFun4566@reddit

Needs the most obnoxious tank brake temu has and a trip to the indoor range.

[-]

battle_schip@reddit

One of those guns where the length of the bullet + casing is nearly as long as the length of the barrel sending it

[-]

Cool-Tip8804@reddit

Slightly off topic. How are younger brother versions of this by century?

[-]

Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit

I don't think century imports the 4" mp5k size one.

Shame.

[-]

Extra-Minute-6712@reddit

Does anyone import a 4 in

[-]

BiggyIrons@reddit

I have the AP5-P and I’ve got about 3-5k rounds on it without any malfunctions that went user error. I did have to sand down the mold seam in the pistol grip and also dremel the mag catch to make HK mags come out smooth, but for 1/3rd the cost of an HK for 90% of the function you can’t beat it.

[-]

X_saber_deval@reddit

I have the AP53 and it’s surprisingly nice. Put some good wood furniture on and a silencer and she goes boom.
