The Century Arms AP51 PDW braced pistol in 7.62x51mm with an 8.3-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel (brand part no. HG7887MBN) is based on the iconic HK51 PDW, giving shooters full-power battle-rifle caliber performance in a braced pistol platform. Century Arms builds the AP51 with a semi-automatic roller-lock delayed blowback action tested to NATO environmental standards for salt fog, humidity, temperature extremes, sand, and dust. The pistol accepts 20-round G3-patterned polymer magazines, and a Navy-style receiver with an ambidextrous selector, an MP5-compatible wide handguard, a standard G3 trigger group, and a birdcage-style flash hider complete the build. A Magpul BTR brace and two 20-round magazines ship with the pistol, and it’s manufactured by MKE in Turkey. Among braced pistols in the semi-auto handguns category, the AP51 favors shooters who want HK51-pattern performance in 7.62x51mm.
