I think Century has many issues. But at the same time, as has been observed, we would have a whole lot LESS choice in guns if they stopped doing what they do.

I have owned a very nice, early model Cetme (with the stainless steel formed receiver) that was super accurate. I have had a VZ2008 that was very reliable (cool design) and I have a Wiselite built, Century offered, Sterling 9mm carbine that I turned into a very nice SBR. Oh yeah, Uzi as well, for a LOT less money than the original would have cost me.

I actually sold my original Sterling produced carbine for something just south of 3K, right before Century started offering the their Sterling product. Good timing on my part as the Wiselite product is a very serviceable gun indeed.

Had some great surplus magazine and ammo buys from them too over the years.

I want to see them come out with an L85 copy. We haven't been able to touch English designs since the L1A1's got chopped up. Might be a tall order though, as the L85 is still current issue.
