You can pay with a credit card over the phone or send him a money order.

If you're talking about the NDS-2 rifle by CAI, that's a Century build. I don't know what your budget is or how good of a rifle you want, but you could do MUCH better. On the other hand, I'm sure it's functional (or can be made to function, lol).

As some people say, "buy once, cry once". You may have different priorities though.

soooo its not going to work all that great?

well im leaving for AIT in the beginning of october and im gonna be gone until february.

priorities is that I wanna new rifle (a good rifle) and wanna shoot it before I go, and enjoy it when I come home

 

[Mr_Willson]

if I can do much better, then someone please tell me where I can find a non- century ak74 rifle for 700 dollars and under

preferably the bulgarian

 

[Mr_Willson]

tantal would do too

 

[Mr_Willson]

if century arms seems to be what people avoid, then what is everyone else buying?

century is the only manufacturer that ever comes up.

its like nobody else makes them so.....

thank you so much.

but now im having trouble convincing my dad that rifles that are built by people are better than century and what not.

and during this conversation that he also learned that his WASR-10 wasnt built in and imported from romania

 

[Mr_Willson]

meh, told me we shouldnt bother right now, should get a gun locally rather than deal with it.

supposed to be like an early combined christmas/birthday thing since I was gonna be gone during both of them.

Century dosn't actually build gun's . They are the importer's of Romanian's [considered to be the Uganda of E.Europe] . They then job them out by the pallet load to a score of small shops around the country for conversion to "assault weapon" spec's [opening the magwell and installing furniture] . They get their kit gun's[ i.e. the 74's you've been talking about ] built the same way . They import a boat load of military de-mill's and job them out . No matter what you buy , it was built or modifiyed in a small shop in America . Why ? Because that's the law , it's illegal to import non-sporting weapon's . If you want a quality 74 , built by a reputable company with a warrenty that's actually honored , there's a 1/2 dozen companies in the country . Arsenal used to be a great choice , but for the last couple year's they've been plagued with quality control issues and you're hearing nightmare type stories about trying to get them to fix problem gun's . The only way you will get a "new" gun is to buy a Saiga in 5.45 and have it converted to a AK74 configuration . Next up [and prefered by many] find a find a excellent condition kit and have it build , or find a gun built on a excellent rated kit . The Centrury guns are built on the kit's no one with a name will touch [the absolute cheapest , bottom of the barrel] . Hope this clears up how the industry works a bit for you .

OK my AK74 was built by some joker named Will at Red Jacket. How's the quality? Did I get ripped off?

yeah , you're ****ed , I heard he was psycho workaholic who drives his people like it was Marine Corps boot camp Will's pretty consistantly in the top 5 . Which is pretty cool when he's doing 20 a week and normally being compared to a guy who's doing 2 a month

Oh, great! Now you tell me Will!
Really, if you want quality, bye quality. Every gun I have from Will(Red Jacket) is assemble right, tight fit, great finish, and never a problem. My other ak's, and some of them from Century, just simply aren't in the same league. Side by side, you can SEE the differences. Buy quality guns once, cry once, and then enjoy them for a lifetime. My .02

 

[Akajun]

Just Left Jims, on the used gun rack, they have an Interarms Tantal for $699. This has the original Polish barrell and doesnt have the keyholing problems of the Century guns.

I'd still rather buy Mr. Lefty's Bulgarian though,

hdfreak1 is right! I've seen his and I mean ALL of this Ak's and they are very very very nice Ak's and the fit and finish is perfect! Listen to these guys they're not just trying to give Will(Red Jacket) buisness because I don't even know Will but I've seen his work and I'm impressed.

Before Red Jacket was a ( sponcer ) at this site I have heard good things about them.
I have never delt with them yet But I would
and you are better spending a little more for somthing you life may depend on that is just me but I want to know it will work ever time
and from what I have seen there price is right anyway
