AP5PDW, #28

[HKshooter]

Hello, folks.
I have an AP5P with stock and can. Nomenclature says this should use an 80 degree, #28 LP. I'm going to test the set up tomorrow to see how I like it.
My question is, will the gun run without the can? In my mind I see it being sluggish and having FTE problems so rather than try it and ruin an extractor spring I'm asking here. I'm asking because I want to know if I should swap LPs back and forth when I remove or use the can.

Thanks

What type of ammo are you using?

I found in my 10MM MP5 that I had to use higher grain, and never had a problem after it.

Cheers!!!!

124gr S&B.

124gr S&B.

Hmmm.......

When you shoot with the can, where are they ejecting.....1:00, 3:00, 5:00?

Say, 2-3:00. A few just dribbled out but most flew with gusto. EDIT: Those that dribbled were the steel case. I can tell by the sound of the rounds, even with a can, the steel was weaker than the S&B. BTW, the steel was 115gr. I only had a few rounds of it and all the remainder was S&B brass.

I'm thinking the above in green. If someone has additional info, please chime in.
