Hello and welcome!
Today we're reviewing the AP5 built by MKE in Turkey and imported by Century Arms. A few years back I got my hands on a MP5 post. sample when I was visiting a gun range in AZ, needless to say I was absolutely floored. Just a few years ago these clones were going for near double what they are now, and at this point almost 1/3rd the price of a HK SP5. The SP5 is the "American" MP5 that is imported from HK. The fit and finish are pretty darn solid and they do a great job replicating the MP5. For many folks including myself, this is a holy grail gun and something to add to your collection without the HK price tag. I'm stoked to get this thing to the range and will certainly do a follow up video; talking about break-in period, functionality, etc. It wasn't long after I got this that upgrades were already on the way, despite not having shot it yet. Stay tuned for future videos on this bad boy, along with some other goodies possibly an HK pistol.

Yep, I got bit by the mod bug when I got my AP5 core model last December (Christmas present to myself). Got the binary trigger, HK pictogram trigger housing, MAD bolt, HK A2 and A3 stocks, tropical handguard, 4 HK mags, 2 MKE mags, and a low profile optic mount for my Eotech. So yeah I totally agree with you, it ADDS up (especially when you burn through ammo in binary mode) lol.
Holy smokes you went full bore lol! Nice line up of goodies you got there haha. I’d love to scoop up a binary - just kills me that they’re almost double the AR platform. The wallet needs a short breather - I’ll probably still get one anyhow 😂. I appreciate you dropping a comment - thanks for being part of the squad. Be safe and stay vigilant 🤙🏻🤙🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸.
@@VPTACTICAL LOL yeah that mod bug itched every week. Sadly Franklin Armory is the only binary trigger, wish Fostech would do something. Anyway I think my wallet needs a breather as well. Great review by the way and lookin forward to more!!!
@@VPTACTICAL Forgot to mention the SBR stamp as well the stamp for my YHM R9 which I'm waiting to get released from AFT jail.
Thank you for the kind words - means a lot. I hope you stick around 🤙🏻. Maybe one of these days fostech will get something going.
Twins!! Hahaha - I’m literally waiting for my R9 as well, submitted in sept. of 2022. I’m projecting May/June timeframe - we shall see. Good luck on your approval.
This clone looks great. So if I buy a SP5 I’m basically paying $2000 for the HK rollmark. Now I have to decide between the AP5 or AP5-P (can’t do both. I am poor).
I believe the fit & finish on the hk is still a bit better and of course you’re paying for the hk name. I’m extremely pleased with my ap5, in due time I’ll get the ap5-p. My bank account isn’t unlimited either haha, like many of us. I appreciate your comment and for being part of the squad. Be safe and stay vigilant - best of luck on your new gear!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
That looks SICK
Thank you good sir!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I'm suprised these core model MKE's are even still available. I got an AP5-m also still for under what the SP5 costs, and I turned my AP5 into an EXACT 2-pin SP5 down to the identical pictogram housing. It can be done. Semper Fi.
No kidding - I know some of these companies are moving inventory, mostly the packaged deals. The ones that come with the extra mags, flash hider, etc. The core model seems to stick around - at least now it seems like inventory has caught up a bit. Few months back they were going in and out of stock frequently. I’m glad you’ve had a solid experience with it so far - sounds like you’ve got a sweet setup! I much appreciate your service and sacrifice - majority of my family served in the military. Thanks for being part of the squad - be safe and stay vigilant 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🏻🤙🏻.
By the way - those pictograph housings are amazing, word on the street is that hk stopped importing them and supply is tight. Prices going up.
@@VPTACTICAL I tried to post my nicest AP5 set up, but I noticed UA-cam killed it. One day it'll be a free country again. Check out the HK MP5 FBI (0,1) Ambi-Trigger Group in semi-auto. Match it with the AP5 and take a look at what you've got. Semper Fi.
I’ve dealt with plenty of censorship on various different platforms. I know how you feel….
Very nice firearm....gota love the classic iconic MP5 and clones....i got the AP5-M love the K models....good review kool vid subbed 👍🏼🔥💨🎯🇺🇲
Heck yeah man - one of my absolute favorite guns. Congrats on your ap5-m and thank you for the kind words. I hope you stick around and I appreciate the sub!! Be safe and stay vigilant 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸.
@@VPTACTICAL no prob bro....will definitely keep an eye on your channel 👍🏼
I make a LRHO for it, while slapping it. :) p.s. Leesporting has AR lowers for this platform with AR trigger packs available .................. the stock trigger sucks.
Heck yeah dude that’s awesome! You got a website or a video that shows what you’ve made?
I’ll check out those lowers, I’ve heard good things about the timney aftermarket for the mp5 series. Any thoughts on those?
Does the plastic case come with all cores? I just purchased the core with brace from Atlantic firearms.
Far as I know they should come with one, typically they’ll list it on the website in the description section. It’ll say exactly what comes with the gun as far as accessories etc. Congrats on your new gear - which model did you get? AP5, AP5P, AP5M…
@@VPTACTICAL Thanks for the quick reply! I got the Ap5 "standard" I reckon you'd call it. The full size you have in this video. As far as accessories I know for sure it comes with the Sb brace. It'll look nice next to my Cai CETME C!
@murdock8068 Very nice! I think you’ll be quite pleased with it, I know I was without a doubt. I appreciate your comment and for being part of the squad. Be safe and stay vigilant 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸.
@@VPTACTICALThank you! You to brotha🤘
Why’d I peel off one sticker just like the intro.
To find the secrets hidden beneath, lol.
My AP5 is a fun gun. Just don't count on any customer support Century Arms.
Mine is definitely a range toy, could have other uses as well. It has been flawless to date and I haven’t had to use their customer service. Have you ran into any issues with them personally?
@@VPTACTICAL Yes I have. I had an issue with my safety lever. All I wanted to do was exchange it. You would have thought I was trying to get a new gun. I finally gave up and purchased one from HK Parts.
@@edstrecker4275 That’s a bummer - especially for something so simple. I modify most of mine anyhow and generally don’t rely on manufacturers if I don’t have to. Hopefully you ended up with a much better part than factory anyhow lol.
When you say purist with the wide foreend, that’s sort a misnomer. I’m Turkish and the slim foreend already on the gun is the standard grip on all Turkish military and police mp5s.
I get what you’re saying, however, that’s the beauty it’s based on our own experiences and perspective as well.
@VPTACTICAL i live in Missouri, American citizen, for me i want the ap5 in stock configuration because it's the first mp5 I've ever seen in real life. Literally every cop in turkey has one, with the collapsing stock, slim foreend, and flashhider. Alot of people like the wide foreend because of the die hard movie. I respect your choice.
@turan8 Absolutely and likewise - hopefully you can get your hands on one soon! They’re awesome and you can configure it to your liking. I appreciate the comment and hope you stick around the channel. Thanks for being part of the squad - be safe and stay vigilant! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
@VPTACTICAL i am subscribed now , thank you sir for the videos
@turan8 thanks a million! 🤙🏻🤙🏻hope to see you around here!!
So do you have an update video out yet showing off the wide handguard and fixed a2 stock ?
Great question - I have not dropped a updated video yet, I’ll get it up this weekend. I’ll give a range report and you’ll be able to see it all decked out 🤙🏻. I appreciate you being part of the squad - be safe and stay vigilant 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸.
@@VPTACTICAL awesome man cant wait to watch it your the only youtuber i have found that shared my same nostalgia pride for the mp5 im actually picking up my ap5 soon and getting it filled on a form 1 ASAP ive already got the stock and wide handguard along with a SEF lower
Heck yeah!! That’s awesome - it’s a very special firearm to say the least, lots of nostalgia for me and it sounds like for you too. The classic look with the a2 and widebody is 🤌🏻🤌🏻. More fun stuff to come - I’m excited for your setup too, you’re gonna love it.
Video dropped and it’s live now 🤙🏻🤙🏻
So havey 5.5
Not sure what you’re referring to, but I appreciate the comment and thank you for being part of the squad. Be safe and stay vigilant! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
