Anyone own a Century made Centurion AK?

[Tula47]

I'm looking at the wood stocked version and am thinking about ordering one but I'm concerned about the quality of a Century built ak. Anyone already own one and like it??

Handled one at Bradis and it seemed well made, very curious how they shoot myself. If they get good reviews I think this may be my next purchase.

Looks like it'll take some abuse. I think they are good to go but that is just my opinion.

For a rifle that's going to see nothing but bi-metal jacketed bullets, I'd prefer it was chrome lined for the price point.

But unless it's going to see a high round count it might not be a problem. Really is a shame they skimped on that.

I thought that was kind of dumb myself that they didn't chrome the barrel.

Century arms make a great rifle. Before I bought an arsenal I really contemplated a century arms.

Agreed on the barrel also

I have a 70B and it never had even a single issue. It won't eat anything and is accurate as far as accuracy applies to a AK

I know I'm new here and I don't want to step on anybodies toes, but for what it's worth I worked on several Century AK's when I was working as a gunsmith in Albuquerque. While most of them are indeed of good build quality and reliability, I did have a couple that had serious cycling issues, as in no matter the mag/ammo combination I did they refused to function. Turned out the barrel trunnion was installed off center, therefor the rear sight base was offset almost 2 degrees clockwise, so the piston was binding on the guide. But again, that does not speak to their general quality, as I did handle several that shot great, and even though the rifle wouldn't consistently cycle, it was the most accurate AK I've ever shot.
