Own an MP5 or an AP5?

I had never considered an aftermarket trigger for my AP5, but now you got me thinking...

With the Lee sporting lower you can put any trigger in there, Geissele SSP!

Wow $550? That's more than half what I paid for mke mp5 clone with 2 mags, red dot mount, tri lug flash hider, and cleaning kit.

You can get a stripped one for $275.

I see palmetto has the ap5pm non threaded barrel version for $899 today (daily deal). Seems like it's better to pay a bit more and get the tri lug and threaded barrel.

It is the AP5 - M that is on sale for $899. 4.5" bbl

I had the SP-89 as well as the FN-FAL sent to Williams Trigger Specialties for trigger work and they both came back wonderfully crisp and a tad lighter. Unfortunately, I see that he's no longer in business.

My HK91 trigger was sent off 25 years ago and the quite poor factory trigger came back excellent.
I dont have any place to recommend to the OP but I know an HK trigger can be made nice.

This is why I'm against the fence about buying a century ap5 . After shooting my buddy's mpx that comes with a factory timney it just set the standard. Although I never shot the ap5 I feel like throwing money in if I'm going to spend the same amount after said and done what's more worth it.

I own both. I have had the MPX for a while, but the AP5 is a fun shooter and very accurate (and less than the MPX)

Sig mpx 6.5" $2000. Ap5 8" or ap5p $1100. Buy what you want. Both are fine pistols. No way would I be able to afford custom furniture if buying at HK or sig prices, although both companies make fine weapons and I own guns from both.

Ap5p with everything shown = $1485 (that's still $1000 under hk base pistol price). For me buying for value and buying smart means you can buy more guns and ammo.

I've shot them both and like them both. The MPX handles and shoots really well, but I ended up picking the AP5 just because I've always wanted an MP5. If WA didn't have a ban in place I'd pick up the MPX as well.

Guy in south Korea makes them. He can make most anything. He didn't want to do folding cuz he had never done it before. I said do your best and I can modify if needed which is what he\I did. Now he has a lot of folders on his Facebook photos section. If doing folder need to check and make sure will fit your folding adapter (Fe jmac is different profile than sig/sbtactical).

You can also specify type of wood. He has some pretty wild marbelized type of woods but they cost a lot more. Mlok rails on the side is nice. Can add hk monogram also for those with non-clones.

I've wanted to do some things with modern weapons and wood for a while. I might just have to breakdown the PTR and giv'er a go myself.
