RecessedFilter 222 Posted November 25, 2018 Plenty of much better, higher quality options out there. But yet people who do not research the guns they buy will continue buying these as they did the previous garbage. That's Century's biggest customer base, unknowledgeable and uninformed clientele. Typically the, "I just bought this gun, what's everyone's experiences with it." Maybe you should ask that question BEFORE you purchase it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, I did a little research, and people seem to like them as much as I do. I also have a Saiga (which I have only semi-converted), and I like that too.

capt14k 2,051 Posted November 25, 2018 Dream On. You get what you pay for. Yeah, you may find one at that price point but it would be junk and will not hold up--lots of cast parts. Manufacturers cannot build quality AK's at that price point and make any profitWhy is that? Last I checked production costs were around $78 in Russia.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,051 Posted November 25, 2018 Guy in Mass. Made an AK from a Sh*t Shovel he bought in NH for $5. I think his total cost was under $150. Century AKs are overpriced junk. Want a good AK buy a Saiga and build your own. I always got my parts from Dinzag. Prices are a little higher but everything was in stock and he provided support for build. Never had a single issue with any. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted November 25, 2018 WTF is the world coming to with AR's for $399 and AKs for $1k. Too bad it was the AK regulated into a $1k price. What was the quality on the Red Jacket AK's? Before all of their legal issues. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they conversions or built from the ground up? sorry missed this.. you can not have one like I have while in NJ... the gun I have is technically a pistol.. it takes 9mm Glock mags..

I have no personal range time with any Century guns.. but I handled one once when hanging out with a FFl friend that came in for a transfer.. the action felt like it was polished with rocks and gravel.. and some of the gravel might still be in there.. the overall quality of this particular century gun was suspect..

Maybe throw a suppressor on that bad boy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought into the whole pistol brace to try it out.. they are good.. but they are not stocks.. I did a "hypothetical mock up without illegally attaching" of a magpul CTR stock.. and I think it would be perfect for this gun.. I really wanted to go with a metal folder.. but my wife talked me out of it.. she is sure that the CTR is better.. sadly after my "hypothetical mock up without illegally attaching" I have to agree with her.. the pistol braces are good.. but no stock replacement.. its not threaded.. yet.. I have definitely considered it.. this gun suppressed.. SBR.. would be really ideal.. the gun is very small... and has virtually no recoil... and so far has been really reliable.. for a $400 gun (well the gun itself not the rest of the shit LOL) its been a solid buy.. I am actually surprised more people don't own this thing... especially with the use of common Glock mags.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJG 253 Posted January 3, 2019 I bought one, receiver does not say ak-47 GF3 Gen. Bought the one with Magpul and Zukoff stock to keep in Fl, which you can pin or you can simply get it with the wood or polymer fixed stock. Put 250 rounds through it. No issues so far. Well made and good price. Trigger is good, but I am replacing it with an AGL trigger which I have on my others. Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did look hard at getting one when they first came out, ran into the same no ship thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJG 253 Posted January 3, 2019 Have them ship to FFL in PA if they will not ship to a FFL in NJ. So long as what you buy is legal here you are good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
