Century Arms has expanded its AP5 series with two “Navy” models that blend classic MP5-inspired design with modern tactical readiness. The AP5-N “Navy” and AP5P-N “Navy” offer distinct form factors aimed at shooters seeking roller-delayed blowback performance and period-correct Naval styling in a ready-to-shoot configuration.

When it comes to new firearms, the market seems to be flooded with various model AR-15s or newer variants of the AK platform, with a completely different platform coming out occasionally as well. What we don't get is older-style rifles that have an interesting past, which is what this rifle is. The HK53 was the idea of creating a rifle variant of the classic MP5 and was released in the later months of 1980. Century Arms has released a clone version of the HK53 made by MKE, based in Turkey. I’ve had their AP53 for a couple of months now and after some range time, I have a good idea of what this rifle is all about. Let's take a closer look at the new Century Arms AP53.

Century Arms is expanding its family of roller-delayed pistols. New for 2025 are the AP-51 in 7.62 NATO and the AP-53 in 5.56 NATO. The AP-5SD is also new and we had our first chance to check it out.

Fans of the MP-5 series are in for a treat with the new AP5 models from Century Arms. The new versions include an “SD” clone and an extended 16-inch barrel model. Let’s break down these new models.

Welcome back to another TFB review. In recent years, the AK market has taken a hit with the loss of cheap 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 ammunition. Whether it’s because of import bans, supply problems because of world conflicts, or just higher demand over the last few years it can be rather tricky to get ammo for AKs like it was in the past. This week, I’m looking at the new 5.56x45 AK from Century Arms. There has been a push to create an AK that users can shoot easily without searching for paying a higher amount for ammo. 5.56 AKs could not only keep the AK market alive in America but also offer a cheaper option. Let’s take a closer look at the new Century Arms BFT556 AK.

Got Kalashnikov? If you want an AK-pattern rifle but want it made in the USA, dadgummit, then Century Arms has what you’re looking for. They’ve just expanded their US-built AK lineup to include the new BFT74 and BFT556 models.

Century Arms and Sharps Bros. have a new AK with a milled steel 4140 receiver. The MB47 is a 7.62x39 rifle with a 16.25-inch chrome lined barrel fitted with a chevron compensator. Best of all, it is available now at retailers.

Who wants an affordable G3? Everybody, right? The Heckler & Koch-built battle rifle is a classic weapon of the Cold War, and now, Century Arms has its own take on the formula with its new CA-3.

Quick, what’s the best pistol ever designed by John Moses Browning? You’ll get a lot of answers for this, although most Americans will loudly shout for the 1911. But along with the classic GI-issued .45 and a lot of other genre-founding pistols (let’s not forget the 1903 pocket pistol, and the Woodsman plinker), the Browning Hi-Power stands as a timeless classic. And now Century Arms has a very affordable clone for sale.
