Overview
The Century Arms AP5 Core is the current HG6034AL-N full-size pistol configuration. MKE builds it in Turkey with a stamped receiver, an 8.9-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, and the roller-delayed blowback operating system associated with the MP5 pattern. Roller delay resists initial rearward bolt movement without creating a positively locked breech.
The barrel keeps its 1/2x28 thread usable alongside the integral 3-lug interface. This Core package includes one 30-round magazine and a sling. It is not the Standard kit with an optic mount and extra magazine, and it is not the shorter AP5-P.
Key Features
- Roller-delayed blowback action, semi-automatic
- 8.9" cold hammer-forged CrMoV barrel, 1:9.8 twist
- Coexisting 1/2x28 thread and 3-lug muzzle interfaces
- Stamped receiver manufactured by MKE in Turkey
- One 30-round AP5-pattern magazine included
- Classic adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight
