Meet The New MP5 Clone Same as the Old Clone

[wvsig]

Looks like the Century Arms MKE MP5 Clone has arrived. https://www.centuryarms.com/ap5

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 9x19 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 1/2x28 threaded end for suppressor mounting options.

They are priced at a whopping $2899. I can't tell if that is above MSRP but that is steep. Looks like other have it listed for about $2500 but are sold out. So much for being the most affordable MP5 clone on the market. It is nice it comes with a tri-lug and 12X28 threaded barrel. I hope MKE got the magwell wiggle worked out.

$2,900 and Century Arms? I think I'll wait... It's a pretty tough pill to swallow when you're looking at PTR's for $1,800 and the HK SP5 for $2,799.

I agree. Even if you get it at $2500 it is still not over priced.

Looks like Century decide to take HK's old MSRP for the SP5. HK increased MSRP on the SP5 in January to $2949. I remember when Zenith was importing these and they were $1600. Difference between Zenith and Century is Zenith actually reworked and corrected most issues when they got them form MKE. I don't see Century doing this. Atlantic Firearms put them up yesterday at $2799 which is Century's MSRP and they sold out in 3 hours.

Priced out of my ballpark but I still wanna slap it.

Ha!!!! They’re crazy with that price. Of course people will buy them, but I sure won’t. Century needs to be priced under PTR.

They are MKE guns so at least Century is not building or assembling them. LMAO They need to be priced in the ballpark of what the Zeniths were IMHO.

Except that the HK SP5's are selling for $3,500 and up everywhere I've seen them.

Yeah some people are getting lucky and getting them at MSRP. There was batch that came in early this year and people gobbled them up. What is left seems to be people selling over MSRP.
