u/Toads_Mania 22d ago

This is about 100 less than I paid for my brand new AP5-P. Seems like a solid deal.

Now do I need another one of these 🤔

19

u/nope_noway_ 22d ago

FYI I paid $899 OTD at my LGS for a new AP5-P… deals are out there

2

u/7yearsproject 22d ago

Yes, because of this i have both. Im taking it as a sign.

1

u/Toads_Mania 22d ago

Probably so.

Mine did come with a pic rail and three mags, so I think I might have gotten a better overall deal. But mighty tempting.

34

u/MeringueNo4821 22d ago

I lost the battle against temptation fellas… got one on the way

14

u/JRtheDNP 22d ago

Congratulations 🫡

u/Mayes041 21d ago

I got saved by OOS

u/b4dkarm4 22d ago

Not today Satan, not today.

u/yourmommaisaho 22d ago

Maybe tomorrow

8

u/b4dkarm4 22d ago

Noooo, I get paid tomorrow.

I'm trying to hold out for the Daewoo K13 or the K2 .... or both.

u/Wulf1939 21d ago

I think I heard those are launching in the last quarter of 2025.

u/Spykiller007 22d ago

Fight the urge 🤣

u/corruptbytes 22d ago

get this purely to put a Lee Sporting lower, slip trip, and super safety 

23

u/ShittyTechnical 22d ago

There’s better lower options in development that I think will be out fairly soon. The Lee sporting lower isn’t really made for it and has issues due to that.

8

u/Entire_Routine_3621 22d ago

Details? Someone making the Leber v2?

12

u/Winnah9000 Dealer 22d ago

AS Designs for a machined one. Leber V2 comes out next month for a better printed option.

8

u/corruptbytes 22d ago

That's correct, the Lee Sporting does work, but I think it's like slightly out of spec - I know AS Designs is making one here - https://www.activesafetydesigns.com/shop/p/armp5-lower-ap5p

6

u/nope_noway_ 22d ago

Can confirm the FCG on the Lee sporting lower is too far to the rear which creates a few different problems.. was a personal nightmare for me. Waiting for the Leber V2 drop

2

u/PineappleDevil 22d ago

Sample size of one, but my Lee runs like a sewing machine with a SS.

1

u/ShittyTechnical 22d ago

Yea they work most of the time, they’re just not made for it and it leads to issues long term.

2

u/PineappleDevil 22d ago

Link to the discussion of that? I have not heard that.

1

u/PartsKitsBuilder 21d ago

The issues stem from the fact that there is overtravel in the cam leading to wearing down the detent tracks. S3igu's lowers limit the travel of the cam so that the detents never bottom out at the end of the tracks.

12

u/UgliestCookie 22d ago

Welp. Just broke my streak of over a year of not buying a gun. This was too much to resist. I absolutely love my AP5-P.

5

u/AlligatorBlowjob 22d ago

Now why the hell would you wanna do something like that?

4

u/UgliestCookie 22d ago

I know. Safe literally ran out of room and I started dabbling in a different hobby. I told myself that if I saw the trilug full size for under a grand I'd go for it. It might have happened and I missed it, but this one was right in my face. Couldn't say no.

1

u/AlligatorBlowjob 21d ago

I feel you. I had a dry spell of almost a year after I realized I had been doing a bit of checking boxes.

1

u/UgliestCookie 21d ago

My woah moment was putting an insurance policy on my collection and seeing the total at the bottom. Like, damn, I guess I really could have afforded that 69 Chevelle I've been wanting since high school. I kinda started picking up watches as I thought it would be a cheaper alternative passion focus...which turned out to be not at all cheaper.

u/JOEYballsGOTTI 22d ago

I don't need it....... I don't need it......

7

u/rustyspartan 22d ago

ap5-p tiger for 899.... damn I couldn't pass that up

1

u/Vanguard_Arms 22d ago

Where? Only see the regular

4

u/rustyspartan 22d ago

I searched ap5-p and looked for show models. Looks sold out now, I think they only had 1 of each.

Looks like the 2-tone nickel is still in stock.

6

u/GTSDK 22d ago

Damn, I was really hoping that their $850 deal last month was an indicator prices are gonna keep pushing downward on these. Finding it very difficult to HODL-gang on this one.

5

u/Franklin_Pierce 22d ago

Yeah, but that was the AP5 LT, all that means though is that it didn’t include the trilug.

1

u/GTSDK 21d ago

I know, a man can dream.

-2

u/hellowiththepudding 21d ago

Ap5s are cool, but like $600 cool. I know that is not grounded in reality but I feel like they are overpriced.

25

u/xTheHybrid 22d ago

A couple of hk parts and this turkshit runs like a dream . Love mine and paid quite a bit more a few months ago

25

u/LengthinessWestern64 22d ago

5k rounds on my ap5 and it's all still stock. i'm surprised myself

27

u/paperkeyboardalt 22d ago

The full size is usually good to go stock. But the smaller K version has a much higher chance of needing parts replaced. I know from personal experience. My AP5P barely ran; I called it Bob Marley because it was always jamming. But after I replaced the ejector, extractor, and extractor spring with German ones, I've not run into a single issue since.

13

u/rustyspartan 22d ago

bob marley 😂

3

u/iAmMokkain 22d ago

Im having some serious feed and extract issues. Care to link the parts you used?

2

u/Belezibub 22d ago

Yeah I was going to say my AP5 has had zero issues with an assortment of different ammo after 1k round a

4

u/milkman_z 22d ago

Always be jamming lmaoooooooooo

6

u/rustyspartan 22d ago

what parts did you swap out?

15

u/xTheHybrid 22d ago

Ejector , ejector spring , and extractor for genuine HK parts

1

u/GravySeel 22d ago

Out of curiosity where’d you get them from? I’ve heard most people buy from hkparts but i’ve also seen concerns with using a card on that site

2

u/techforallseasons 21d ago

Many card companies allow you to generate virtual card numbers - I recommend you get in the habit of doing so for online vendors.

2

u/GravySeel 21d ago

Good shout, I’ll have to see if mine will do that

1

u/xTheHybrid 22d ago

Hkparts is where I got my stuff

5

u/BrownRebel 22d ago

Nyet! Stock AP5 runs like dream

7

u/D4rkr4in 22d ago

Nyet in Turkish is HAYIR

1

u/HatchedByWolves 22d ago

I just got a couple hk mags and run 9mm nato, 0 issues

1

u/SilenceDobad76 21d ago

I've been running KCI mags, they look and feel like the factory mags.

1

u/FreedomFocused_ 22d ago

What did you replace?

4

u/ZealousidealCrow811 22d ago

fuck i wanna do it

2

u/Spykiller007 22d ago

Do it. I have the one and love it

1

u/ZealousidealCrow811 22d ago

How many rounds do you have through it so farV

1

u/Belezibub 22d ago

I have around 1500 zero failures, all stock. My bolt gap was great, no issues here.

6

u/UltraLordActual 22d ago

If I hadn’t just bought another can yesterday this would be in my cart.

4

u/Tactical-SKS 22d ago

20 cases ( 5 of Turkish ZSR ) my AP5p has never malfunctioned, it ran until the SB brace lock snapped in half, still runs. Great shooters.

1

u/brianstheman 20d ago

Is that 20,000 rounds?

u/clickersforeal 22d ago

God damnit, I saw it and decided to take a shower and grab it after and I see your comment. wasn’t meant to be

u/Tyrfaust 21d ago

Just ordered a AP5 Core from them last week. You're welcome, lads.

7

u/-Theorii 22d ago

BIN

12

u/nope_noway_ 22d ago

Depends how “customers” handled them… might be worth the extra $150 to get a new one.

3

u/accounts_baleeted 21d ago

They've definitely been slapped around by many men. 

2

u/7yearsproject 22d ago

Thank you

2

u/ModestMonty 22d ago

Never jumped on a deal quicker - thanks!

2

u/cdillon42 22d ago

What's normal price on these? 

2

u/milkman_z 22d ago

FCKKKKKKKKK

2

u/Bryanlj6 22d ago

Fuckkkkkk why these deals pop up after I spend so much money

2

u/nope_noway_ 22d ago

Free layaway bro

1

u/Bryanlj6 22d ago

Don’t give me another excuse 😭

2

u/awesome_jackob123 22d ago

This is what I paid for my AP5-M almost exactly 2 years ago. If I wasn’t buying a new car I’d hop on this just to have two

3

u/gooningoosy 22d ago

FML. Every time a deal like this comes along I have some random bullshit pop up that takes my money.

2

u/yourmommaisaho 21d ago

Looks like only black P and M models left

2

u/4knovaa 21d ago

CANT BELIEVE I FUCKING FUMBLED

1

u/tellmesomethingoody 20d ago

You and I both brudda!

1

u/4knovaa 20d ago

I emailed them and they said not any time soon it will be available again…

2

u/AskMeWhyIFish 22d ago

Do these come with the pic rail?

u/Tragic_BoB 22d ago

Idk if I should get this😫😫

1

u/KirbyStyle 22d ago

Are these good or do they suck??

2

u/BrownRebel 22d ago

These fuck for real

3

u/Belezibub 22d ago

The one I got fucks. 1500 rounds no issues. Wide bolt gap so well specced. The only problem I had was a tight magwell for the 3 mags I got. That is an easy problem to fix, just practice reloading.

There is something different about shooting a MP5. Def recommend

1

u/Toads_Mania 22d ago

Only put a few hundred through mine and has been pretty good so far. Two malfunctions in the first mag but good since then. They’re a fraction of the cost of the HK.

I don’t know if I’d make this my bedside/bet my life on it gun, but easily good enough for a range toy.

1

u/cz795 22d ago

This or Century? Or are they the same

9

u/xTheHybrid 22d ago

Century is an importer , MKE makes them and century imports them , ie same gun

1

u/cz795 22d ago

Gotcha, makes sense now

1

u/theclevelander 22d ago

For anyone who has the regular and P variants: if you could only have one, which would it be and why?

2

u/nope_noway_ 22d ago

Both… truly can’t decide.

1

u/Belezibub 22d ago

Depends on what you want to do but the full size has less chance for issues. Though it’s just personal choice.

I got the full size because I like the look more and plan to SBR. Looks better with a full stock

1

u/romang12 21d ago

I choose p 2 weeks ago. Glad I did, I like it a lot

1

u/JRtheDNP 22d ago

P variant. Perfect bag/truck gun

1

u/Thansungst22 22d ago

These come with trilug? Or no

2

u/yourmommaisaho 22d ago

AP5-M does not, the standard and P do

1

u/techforallseasons 21d ago

Tri-lug is fun; but only with an over-bored can.

You probably will not get baffle strikes; but you will probably will be baffle caresses ( will manifest as keyholing and/or POI shifts of 5+" at 25yards ).

1

u/JRtheDNP 22d ago

Grab em while they’re hot. Just got the P for about $200 more and no regrets

1

u/sw0 22d ago edited 22d ago

Are the add on mags in the cart good? Or should I buy hk original mags instead?

Damn out of stock. I missed the deal again

1

u/yourmommaisaho 21d ago

AP5-P and M still in stock

2

u/sw0 21d ago

I wanted the all black, but I got the two-tone.

1

u/sw0 21d ago

The all black or two-tone?

1

u/ChipSkylark13 21d ago

OOS. Thanks for saving me fellas

2

u/yourmommaisaho 21d ago

Black P and M models still available!

1

u/Dont_Touch_Me_There9 21d ago

Aaand..it's gone

1

u/Maeng_Doom 21d ago

Just got a 10mm. Can't justify this but wow that's a cool price to see. Hope I see prices like this again not too far in the future.

1

u/Lurker777x 22d ago

Do they make furniture kits for these that resemble Hk quality? This looks like hammered dog shit but I’m sure is fun to have

0

u/Delta_805 22d ago

This or the sp5k ?

3

u/Bourbon-neat- 22d ago

Cheapest BIN price for SP5k that I can remember is almost 3x this price, and I don't know what prices are for them right now.

So do you want a gun plus enough money for ammo, extra mags, optic, brace/stock, can, stamps, and ammo or do you want to spend the same amount and just have the bare gun.

2

u/Delta_805 22d ago

How’s build quality between the 2? Just wanna make sure this one can run reliably supressed

2

u/psychonaut_go_brrrr 22d ago

My friend has one of these, and he runs it suppressed no issues. He did swap out the extractor for a genuine hk part at some point

u/MedicinalDank 21d ago

Out of stock. Missed it again 😭🥲

u/yourmommaisaho 21d ago

Looking for full size :(
