IWA: Celik Arms Brings a New Hi-Power Clone in the FP-14
While wandering around the IWA Outdoor Classic Show in Germany recently, we came across a company making Hi-Power clones and had to find out more.
Celik Arms, located in Beyşehir, Turkey, has been in the gun business since 2005 and makes pistols, rifles, and shotguns, with most of its production headed to the U.S. under a variety of importer's banners. One of the company's newest lines is the FP-14, which is a decent-looking BHP clone in several variants.
They look to be fairly straight-up Mark III-style clones, but all the models we tested did not have that gun's dreaded magazine safety.

Lots of Cerakote options including OD. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)

Further, talking to the reps at the Celik booth, they have just signed a deal with a Nevada-based importer to start shipping the FP-14 to America, so you can be sure to see these in our neck of the woods starting in the next few months.
