Hey guys. Finally got around to taking my ap5-p to the range for its break-in period. Only had enough time for 300 rounds. In those 300 rounds I had a handful of FTEs. Not entirely sure why. I have the sbtactical brace on and I’ve heard that could cause some issues. But upon further inspection, the brace had no dents or anything so that’s in the clear. I have the 100° LP in and the gun was fully cleaned and lubed before the range trip. I was using the recommended Winchester 124gr NATO ammo. The only thing I can think of is it replace the extractor and extractor spring with the HK version. Hopefully you guys can shed some light on the subject.

Oh and after the range trip I got home and fully stripped it to clean it. The internals looked like they had been coated with golden glitter. It’s almost like every brass casing was getting shaved and sprinkled throughout the gun. Not sure if it’s unburnt powder or brass shavings. What do you guys think???

Hey guys, I just bought my first AP5-p Navy and have a few questions about the entire gun. (Side note. I’ve watched about 400 videos and haven’t really gotten a clear and concise answer on these. lol.)

1.) I think I know this answer but I wanna be positive. To mount the famous vertical grip on the gun, do I need to SBR it? I believe I do but I just wanna be sure.

2.) I will eventually run this suppressed. I understand everyone says to switch to the 90° LP for it to run smoothly. But if I get a flow through style can like the huxworx flow 9k TI, do I need to swap the LP? I’ve seen some videos that say the gas blowback is the issue and that’s why they change the piece.

3.) what’s everyone’s favorite suppressor for the AP5-p? I like the huxworx flow 9k ti but some videos say it’s loud AF and some say it’s incredible.

4.) from the research that I’ve done it seems that MOST (not all) users have to swap out the extractor, extractor spring and something else that I can’t remember right now. My question is what parts should I get and where should I get them from? I keep seeing them referenced as “the German extractor” or something similar to that. But does that just mean a true HK piece from HKParts?

Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated! I really can’t wait to get this thing in my grubby paws. It’s been on my list for about 5 years now and I finally have worked up enough courage to pick one up. lol.
