The VSKA's seem fine. I went with a WASR and love that one. From what I hear as long as you get an AK with a forged trunion, good looking rivets and a fairly straight front sight assembly you should be ok.
Really its about the heat treament. Forged is a HUGE plus, but if the heat treatment is out of spec it doesnt matter. AKs are like swords. All steel, they have to be made PERFECTLY, from raw material to the machining to the heat treatment and lastly finish and assembly.
Im glad we have an American company making AK's and they're actually holding up. The vska and the bft47 have finally proven the Americans can make AK's that work. Well done century
@Doug Jones You can have 30 round mags, they're called "freedom week" mags, and they are legal to own. In fact a kid was arrested and his mags were confiscated by an criminal police officer and they ended up having to give the kid his mags back and apologize. This is because the "Penile code" might exist, but that doesn't mean that the "law" is legal, in fact it is unconstitutional and an illegal rule.
what's with the censor blocks? gun porn, that's just annoying. I despise censorship of any kind. anyhow, I got a vska not long ago. I went with the classic wood furniture. I've seen the plastic kind melt otherwise I may have got that one because it was cheaper. the grip is plastic and sucks. I don't like the mag it came with, but it works fine. the trigger is light but sucks because the wall and break are almost not there. I don't care for the bolt notch on the safety either really. that's all minor stuff. for the money it's a good solid rifle. I've had no malfunctions of any kind. no weak ejections. accurate out the box. honestly it could take years before I put 5000 rounds through it though. I have a bunch of guns and I can't take them all when I go to the range.
Because availability! When I was looking for an AK, Century Arms was the only one I could get!! I’ll be getting another AK later, just wanted to get the first one in my gun safe!
And the cult mouth piece has spoken again lol... the vska has had almost no issues since its inception. Wtf is it with these cultists 🤦🏼♂️...zero experience with the object they bash...they regurgitate the same shxt they hear...and the cycle repeats. The cult is in every group no matter what it is.... totally understandable if we were talking about a ras47...then yeah buy a slingshot.. but when a company gets it right the past idea perpetuates into consensus. No wonder we hardly progress as a species lmfao. It all makes sense when people today cant even understand the basics of biology between men and women lol. We really are that dumb
