Is Century gearing up?

After the last couple ras47 I saw, it would take some proving before I bought new production stuff from century. There was peening on every contact point that it made the carrier and trunnion look like they were made it pot metal.

emoney, I agree with you on the Century AKs. I don't think they are their best work. It is definitely a crap shoot, which is why every one hates them.

I did find their VZ2008 to be a great product. I definitely want another.

There is CHEAP....and there is GOOD. Seldom do the two intertwine. BUT, occasionally, as they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut. But sometimes you can take a cheap base unit, improve with moderate upgrades and have a decent product. I think a soft trunnion on their AKs is a NoGO for me. I prefer the foreign made pieces on AKs. They been doing it a while. Romanian, Egyptian, Serbian, etc.

Not far off, the front and rear trunnions are made from cast iron.
