..."ZENITH FIREARMS CUTS TIES WITH MKE; PLANS NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH IN 2021

This press release serves as an announcement that Zenith Firearms will no longer be importing MKE-produced firearms. The philosophy that Zenith has always carried is to reach for excellence with integrity. The product that we brought to the US market is high-quality, the customer service that we provide is superior, the ammunition that we now import is of excellent quality. Zenith is just getting started. We have opened a retail gun shop in Afton, VA, and continue to service and custom-build all manners of firearms. Zenith will continue to service those models that were imported under its brand and will continue to work on roller-delayed firearms sent to us for repair, upgrades and refurbishments. Zenith arguably has one of the most capable gunsmithing workshops in the US."...

..."So heres the scoop on what we know so far. The AP5 is being built in a military manufacturing facility in Turkey on original [HK] equipment. And get this: All of the parts of the Century Arms AP-5 are completely interchangeable with the HK MP5. There will be three different pistols models to start a full-size, mid-size, and a mini. The AP-5 comes in a hard case with a receiver end cap, a Picatinny optics rail, magazines, a military-style sling, two extra takedown pins, and also a cleaning kit."...

If the $2500-$2600 price rumors are legit this is going to be another major let down from CAI.

Yeah, Im not hopefull. $2800 was the original HK SP5 MSRP. My past CAI experience left a bit to be desired back in days of canted sites, barrels, and muzzle turdowns.

 

..."No price has been set as of yet, however, we were assured by Century Arms that its guaranteed to be cheaper than any other roller-delayed action on the U.S. Market. So theres something else to look forward to."...
