just checked one of mine that's been in a chest rig for 2 years and its just fine.

you buggered it.

Thank you, inherited a 999 that didn’t fire so looking at the video and schematics I figured out it was missing 3 pieces and had to reorder the spring that “needs 3 hands for” because it launched at Mach Jesus to the deepest corners of my garage

A good and thorough review. Thanks for taking the time. I probably dodged a bullet. Best, JBR

I definitely agree with your assessment of this rifle. At first i thought I got a dud, but its pretty underwhelming. I thought something was wrong with my oculus at first as I had the same experience you described.

Thank you for the great video! Helped me tremendously!

But I send it back to Century Arms

I got the same problem

Hi, cool video. I just got one of these, it came with a mount from MKE, I want to put an optic on it- looking at some of the cheap sig romeo 5's on ebay- will any type of romeo 5 work, or do I need a specific one for this model? I have an ap5p if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Sounds like you got a bad AP5 because mine runs flawlessly. I only had ammo related issues but it never failed me.

Yall arguing about the Ap5p, how about you argue about that 4k+ piece of sh!t tp7 made by tommybuilt,

I am at the same point. I did change out items for german items and that didn’t help. The bolt carrier was bent. Century sent me another one and the downside was the bolt didn’t fit in the new one. I just broke down and ordered a MAD bolt. Hopefully that will fix things. Never buying anything from Turkey again.

I'm honestly shocked reading some of the comments. I obviously believe them, but it's definitely not my experience. I have the AP5 and the AP5-M, and they've both run extremely well. I think I had a single jam on the AP5 in the first mag, and it was a failure to feed induced by a magazine load issue. Probably put about 700 rounds through each since with no issue. I think this is your standard Century Arms crapshoot. Some people are getting flawless guns, others are getting lemons.

Century has lemons for sure. I’ve had no issues with neither my ap5 or my ca-3.

Crazy good price! Enjoyed the video, including the unplanned stripping of the receiver (heard it can happen, but never actually seen it). Have you perhaps replaced the locking bolt spring by now, or just avoid placing your thumb near the locking bolt when shooting? The commercial magazine looks like a Mec-Gar, which is the go-to aftermarket magazine for Lugers (with some caveats*). You may know by now you can buy a new Mec-Gar for about $40, such that you should have a magazine of known quality (infant mortality notwithstanding). I run Mec-Gars in all of my Lugers, except for my Swiss Model 1929. *Mec-Gar magazines fall out of the Model 1929 during live fire (and can be shaken out by hand), so I only use Swiss magazines in this Luger.

Great run, and a big thank you for using an M96. I am a huge fan of the Swedish Mauser and when I can find a range with the needed distance I'll be participating myself with my M94 Carbine which is my absolute favorite rifle that I own. Well done !!

just started having the same issues with mine... luckily I only bought 2, so no huge investment loss, but I will say the pmags I bought at the same time are still perfect.

You guys need to check your bolt gap and order + or - rollers to get them in spec. Out of spec on the low end causes jams. On the high end, roller marks. It's really easy to swap them and upgrade the roller retention bar while you're in there.

Had one. Liked it. Sold it and bought an erma luger la22 model. The erma breaks down and assmebles much easier but the stoeger performa better, in my experience. However, both guns hate the ammo with the thin copper plating and tends to jam a lot with that ammo. Also, too much oil and poor cleaning makes for problems as well.

Let me see, smacking a trigger pin home with a marring metal hammer - no thank you. Try a proper Gunsmithing Plastic Hammer. Not one for driving nails. Saw thus video and found your techniques pretty lame.

So a side lever bolt 22 made with a 10/22 platform? Interesting

Hi there, I have a 32. H&R Premier, 6th model I think. With the new style grip frame and the single action will not work, or hammer won't hold back. It will fire double action just fine though. Do you have any idea what it could be? Our guns are somewhat similar it seems. What part does it on yours? Sorry if I missed it.

Sure shoots dirt good...

Didn't noticed I was tagged until 5 months later 😅. Very smooth action

Cómo sacarle la parte de seguro

I had the AP5 core and it was a nightmare!! Literally couldn't get through a mag without it jamming, even after the break in period Century recommends and HK German mags. The mag well was extremely out of spec as well, measuring almost a half inch play forward and aft even with HK German mags. I RMA'd it through Century and they sent me another one. Same issues although the mag well was much tighter it still had 1/4 of an inch forward and aft play with mags. The MP5 platform needs to have rather snug fitting mag wells in order to feed correctly, if the round is pointed to far down or up due to out of spec mag well, it will miss the chamber and jam when the bolt cycles.. Ended up selling the AP5 and saving my money and buying the HK SP5 and the HK SP5k, both run flawless out of the box without a "break in" period. Shouldn't have to buy a brand new gun and replace parts to make it function correctly!

I own one.

I saw someone else note that they do the same thing in really hot climate. With that being said, these mags can be found for less than 6 dollars a piece online. At that price, I would consider them fine for range use, they're basically disposable. The average guy could buy enough of these so that he doesnt have to sit and reload mags at the range. I certainly wouldn't put them in a situation where I need to depend on them.

MFTs are my go 2

My AP5, P,and M run flawlessly from factory......my P had major canted sights.... Century was awesome and exchanged it for another that is straight and runs 100%.....takes time, have to give them the opportunity

I replaced the extractor spring, extractor and ejector and mine runs like a MF SEWING MACHINE! SUPPRESSED AND UNSUPRESSED.

Very slick loading with those clips, much smoother than my SMLE's chargers :)

That seems like that is a pain in the ass to clean.

I’ve got one of these that seems to be in excellent shape other than getting lots of light strikes. It’s a 1937 model so very similar to this one and it’s in overall good condition. I cleaned the chambers and the face of the cylinder so cartridges definitely go in and out easy. Got rid of any marring from dry firing. Replaced the mainspring and put a seat in because that was missing. The pin end of the hammer is sharp and well formed and protrudes .025 when depressed past the rebounding mechanism. There is zero play in the barrel latch and essentially zero end shake in the cylinder and it locks up tight on each notch. I get 3-4 light strikes per cylinder that always fire on the second go around. The hammer isn’t hitting on the sides of the frame and seems to get full velocity but I’m concerned maybe the safety which rebounds the hammer after the trigger is pulled is limiting how far the pin actually protrudes. Any ideas?

Did you have a problem with the mag catch not catching ?

U have no idea how much this video helped me ... on a model 733 at that! More lil parts but thanks man.

It's definitely a piece of shit if every other testimony is fucking "failure to feed" or "failure to eject" constantly. Don't roll the dice on these things unless you're planning on spending more on HK parts right out of the gate.

I have one of these that was purchased by my grandfather from an Ace Hardware in the 70s, it's never been out of the family and never will.

You can always tell guys that spend time in the woods alone. I've had whole videos where you can't hear a word I say because I speak so quietly in the woods.

Muito obg pelo seu video, sou do estado do rio grande do sul, brasil Sou armeiro do exercito brasileiro e possua uma luger 22 igual a esta sua do video Eu ajustei a camara como vc fala para fazer, eu estava usando muniçoes aguila e estava perfeita, mas com outras municies inferiores e oa nao funcionava perfeitamemte Para solucionar este problema de falta de força para levar o ferrolho para a retaguarca, eu deamontei o ferrolho e diminui a mola interna deixamdo o ferrolho mais leve Assim ela ta atirando e funcinando perfeitamente com qualuqer municao Forte abraco do brasil 🇧🇷

AP5-P... same issues. - Same fix. What is your best running ammo? My full size runs great.

Have a buddy who bought the zenith ZF5. Claims he never had a problem. Broke it in with 500 124 grain rounds.

I must have lucked out! My Century Arms /MKE AP5-P runs flawlessly. I broke mine in with a friends registered F/A trigger pack. I did have to use a modified carrier with a "bolt on F/A trip".

Thank you Sir. I inherited this gun recently and it was completely damaged and needed to be able to overhaulled and the video helped me a lot. Thank you!

Its a beautiful gun and you operated it great. Nice job!!

Well done!

Why didn’t the toggle bolt stay to the rear when the magazine was inserted?

I bought the AP5-P two years ago and had the exact same issues. I called Century they sent me a shipping label and off it went. Two weeks later they sent me a brand new one, all I had to pay for was another transfer fee. I have never had another issue with it since. You'd think they would have given me a free mag or hell even a sticker for my troubles but no. I wasted a lot of ammo with that first one and they never did tell me what was wrong with it.

Great cut away video 😎👍
