Ordered my AP5-P on Monday expecting a 7-14 day delay (as advertised on Atlantics site) and got shipping notification today!
Nice… I’m still salty I paid $1600 for my PTR 9CT and 9KT last year. SBR’d both of them and now I’m having issues with stovepiping on my 9KT. I didn’t think the welded rail would bother me that much, even though it’s arguably an added benefit, but it does…..but at the time the Century’s were still $2200+… So I went ahead and got an AP5-P and I’ll likely SBR it as well. |

The current price these are being offered for is the lowest we have seen on an imported roller lock in 20 plus years. We are shipping out hundreds of these a day and our goal is to fill and ship orders quicker than we advertise. Hope you enjoy your new pistol and please post some pics of your new beauty.

Will do!
Question to Atlantic- I know these are “new”, but I also see they sometimes arrive with “handling marks”. Is there someway I can pay extra (if it’s a reasonable amount) to be assured I get one without these flaws? Or is there a way to get a blemish free one? Small knicks and scratches are fine but one of my PTRs had a pretty good deep scratch on it and of course they either wont do anything about it or it’s not worth the trouble. Yeah, I’m that guy. The medication helps, but it’s just who I am, lol. |

Wow, ordered on Monday 7/11 and just picked up from my ffl today 7/14. Extremely happy with the sample that I just received. I need an AP5-M to complete the MKE collection.

I am sorry we do not offer a hand pick or inspection service , We are shipping over a 1000 firearms a day and offering custom inspections would just not work out. All of this being said we have shipped thousand's of the AP5 pistols and not aware of any major complaints or issues with the finish of the pistols reported to our office. |

As a sample size of one, the finish on the AP5-P I ordered from you folks is fantastic. The magazine wobble is not. However, the gun runs so far, so I'm not overly concerned. These guns are steals at the current pricing and Atlantic is GTG. |

Not the German hk part, the hkparts part. The German is too thin or too thick, can't remember. |

I like the look of the M for that classic "retro" (80s) MP5K look with the snub nose! Too bad an AOW stamp to Form-1 is $200 (same as SBR) and not the $5 (transfer) they are from Mfr/dealer - to add a MP5K VFG |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I grabbed this guy today for $1603 shipped. No tax. No CC fee. From family firearms. That puts me at $1403 after rebate w/ 2 mags, the sling, the case, the optic mount. Never owned a HK so I’m pretty excited. https://i.ibb.co/bbsMmyR/7-C59-A7-A0-6-E36-45-C5-BA61-20-BE4061-AEFB.png Picked this up today. Shot 50rnds of no name 124gr over lunch. This thing is a laser. Tried mounting the optic rail tonight and was wildly unsuccessful. The thing is a total piece of shit. I’ll be contacting the dealer/century for a total replacement. Fit and function of the gun is excellent. This is my first time shooting a MP5. |

Ordered Friday morning from Family Firearms and picked up at the FFL about an hour ago. Initial impressions are fantastic. It’s actually got a pretty decent trigger. I was surprised it came in a hard case, I thought that was something they cut out to lower the price. $1191 shipped including 12 or so bucks for insurance.

My item # is HG6034A-N. It looks like the closest item number eligible for rebate is HG6034-N, minus the "A".
It would appear this is definitely not eligible for the rebate. I'm tempted to send it all in and let them tell me no though.

I still see reserve orders available at 1179. The Atlantic site is a little funky to get to MKE. I have to select Uzi&mac10, then I have to reselect it to get to MKE options. |

They're shown there , but the reserve order for the Core AP5 and AP-M are "out of stock". I assume they sold all out of their first inbound order and need to reset the reserve "inventory" after they have an idea of how many is on their next load and when to expect it. I ordered a standard Core AP5 about 2 weeks ago, the first day they offered the reserves. Took exactly one week to ship and I picked it up Monday. I had a bunch of parts waiting for it so it looks a bit different now. Just waiting for the Form 1 to add a stock. |

Folks here is the update on the AP5 Core models and orders. Due to the large numbers of AP5 pistols Atlantic was ordering Century's ship team was having a tough time keeping up and that is why we started to offer the reserve order. This allows customers to lock in one of the weekly allocations shipped to our warehouse and we would only accept Reserve orders for the verified inventory that Century guaranteed would be shipped. Today we wrapped up shipping out 99% of the reserve orders and tomorrow we will reopen reserve orders on what Century has told us they would ship out this week. We appreciate the orders and support and we will be expanding the MKE parts and accessory line over the next few months with some cool MKE parts !

Got a AP5 core reserved today from Atlantic. Watched a ton of videos on YT and it looks like a solid built pistol. I'll switch out for a wide handguard and might SBR it for a ump style stock.

I agree. I wanted to buy a HK but it's hard to justify that much when I think we're coming close with MKE. I'll take the saving's and buy more guns and ammo. It should scratch that itch so to speak.

It's by far the best brace one the market in my opinion. It's very expensive, its robust as hell, it's badass.....its b&t. A big plus is that it doesnt add width to the gun. The only other brace i actually like is the folding one from gearhead works.

You can still buy the ones for $1500, the core series just doesn't cime with all the extra stuff you probably dont want anyway |

At best, we're talking about $150 in "extras" - not the $500+ price disparity. $1095.73 versus $1606.24 I know which ones you're talking about because i bought one last year from battlehawk. It was $1603. As far as i know the differences are one mag instead if 3, no cleaning kit, flash hider and no sling. The flash hider alone is about $100 |

That said, even if you say it's $200 in "extras", the bottom line is that there is a $500+ difference in the two versions... still a $300 price disparity. My full kit AP5-P was $1375 AFTER rebate. Much closer in value. I like having the extras. But I agree its likely cheaper to independently source the extras. |

With the June inflation rate being around 80%, I wouldn't be surprised if cash was wanted to purchase raw materials at current prices. |

The Century AP5 I bought most recently from Dahlonega Armory only came with one mag and no extras and was $1100. Hope Atlantic isn't skimming the 3rd magazine (I very much doubt they are).

Lol i doubt it. The optic mount is the other thing the core series doesn't come with. I feel like people are confused and they are all around the $1200 mark now. You can get the full kit or the core series |
