Description
The civilian-legal answer to the iconic MP5 platform. The Century Arms AP5 brings the legendary roller-lock delayed blowback action to the semi-auto market in a pistol format that California residents can legally own. Available at California Gun Shop for $1,359.99 — ships to your licensed FFL dealer.
California Compliance Note: The AP5 ships in pistol configuration (no rifle stock). It is legal for California residents as a pistol. The AP5 does NOT have a fixed magazine — ensure compliance with California’s pistol regulations. Consult your FFL dealer. This firearm is NOT on the California Handgun Roster (which applies to single-action and semi-auto pistols sold NEW to civilians). Purchase through a private party transfer may be required — consult your FFL. Single-shot exemption may apply for transfers.
The Roller-Lock Legacy in Semi-Auto
The roller-lock delayed blowback system was perfected at Heckler & Koch in the 1950s and 60s and became the foundation for one of the most respected submachine gun designs in history. The Century Arms AP5 brings that same mechanical action — refined over 50 years — to the semi-automatic civilian market via MKE, Turkey’s largest military arms manufacturer. The result is a semi-auto pistol that handles and balances like the original while being 100% legal for civilian ownership.
