    Not all Century arms are junk. I have one that has folding stock and scope mount and at 100 yds the group size is half what other ak's are. My 5 shot group was 2.3" using quality ammo. I have never had any issues with that gun after hundreds of rounds, and clean it twice a year.

    Try 1000’s of rounds and report back... that’s usually when the problems show up but I agree sometimes there is one good apple in a crate or rotten ones

    Heres my general view on Century Arms products:

    If Century imports it, it usually checks out...of course there are always exceptions. If Century contracts someone to build it, then it can be hit or miss. If Century builds it in house... RUN!:puke:

    Last Century AK I shot keyholed at 25 yards.

    I know little about AK's, but I'll take a guess that it wasn't supposed to do that.

    I gave 600 for a new in box with 3 30rnd MagPul magazines.

    From what I have read they are ok, and the price seems to be be decent.

    My only issue with a milled receiver ak is the weight. If the heat treat and the machining are good (2 very big IFs there) then the milled gun should be good to go.

    Given the cost of an imported ak these days I can see why the US made examples are popular. But I just cannot seeing them compare to a properly built surplus military kit on a good receiver (nodak, childers, recreator).

    I know that the days of an inexpensive ak build are over, surplus is drying up to some extent.
