Century AKs fail....... over...... and over...... and over 

Dúnadan SonoftheWest that's because everything else is assembled in Romania and a few other places, all Century does is put in a couple 922r compliance parts

Hate to say it but my 2017 Wasr has a mag well to tight. So I had to file down even surplus mags. I put some magpull furniture on it and it has to wear the wooden piston cover because the plastic Magpul on the gas block lever "don't no proper name"won't even go down without it. I want to smooth out the action because the gun won't go into battery if I am riding the charging handle. And the finish is dog shit with the bayonet lug having rust on it from the factory.

Nuka Wolf occasionally the WASR had those issues, Romanian AK's aren't the best, but that's fixable, the RAS and C39V2 have heat treat issues and are complete garbage

Wow, my 2017 Wasr 10 was mint. Got it from Bud's. Has been a great AK so far, still a baby with only just a bit over 1,000 rounds through it.

Nuka Wolf One great way to smooth out any AK action is to put in an extra-strength recoil spring from Wolff. I put one in my Century 74 and it runs like a dream.

😂🤣😂🤣

ok now that was funny!!!!... personally I have nothing against the man

I like Yeager as well. Still funny!

Hahaha. Truth. Just not on RU-vid anymore.. Too soon?.. lol

#Unbanjamesyeager #Istandwithyeager

And the Chinese

why can’t they make the aks the right way?

@@sgt_malice4521 unlike making an AR which just needs correct CNC tolerances and you can just slap parts together, each AK is essentially handmade requiring absolutely perfect riveting for the front trunnion, welding the lower rails, barrel pinning, etc. We haven't perfected the process for making AKs, unlike the Russians that have done it for decades.

FAL is better

Atlanta Light make sure it's done right I've seen some saiga builds that were all fucked up.

The rifle will be good, but conversion is different story. Rifle comes build already, but in sportarized version

hey dude, I have a saga sporter; I need to just add that guide in the breach so it accepts ak mags and guides the round into the chamber. If you know of some tutorial let me know.

yankeesuperstar In my case I live in Atlanta and bought mine from Moss Pawn, RU-vidr Iraqveteran8888, is there. I'll be taking it back to them to have decked out. For all the stuff I want done I gotta get some serious bread up lol

There is a guy called Gear Obsession on youtube who has a complete tutorial on Saiga conversions. I followed his guidance with my sporter Saiga 5.45 and it worked perfectly. I have a few thousand rounds thru it, not one malf.

Go look at their Better Business Bureau Complaints. They treat customers like shit. They absolutely deserve to get shit and forever written off. Name a company that consistently puts out garbage? Ok Sig… but name some others. You don’t see Glock or Daniel Defnese or BCM doing this….

Yeah, I know James and his practices, don't believe what you see or hear!!

James Yeager, for a guy who dissed 1911s and praised Glocks with some degree of believability, that he came for RAS like this has made me reconsider all his gun reviews. He might be good on tactics, but a gun material knowledgeable guy, he is not. Which is not surprising. Even most of the so called pundits on TV who are former Seal or spec ops are not that knowledgeable about rifles outside what the government issue them.

I agree , my romainian draco works flawlessly.

Yeah ide buy a WASR. I wouldn't run to it lol. But if the price was right ide grab one. Especially a UF version. I've owned about 6 AK's now. 2 of them were Century AK's they manufactured themselves. They were made of cast parts and as I learned more about AK's I got rid of them. I bought a Riley after that and while it shot good, had a good weight to it, and wasn't toooo bad, the finish on the gun I found to be sub par for the money. It looked great at first but the thing took rust like nobodies business. Out of all my guns it was the only one I couldn't keep under control. Even with barricade. Every time I picked it up it would be absolutely dusted with rust while all my other guns right next to it are clean as a whistle looking nice. So I got rid of that one too and banned Riley from future AK purchases after they gave me no response online. Then I got into my Yugo's. Bought a M70. Loved it. Still one of my favorite rifles. Loved it so much I got another. Then I got a M90 too. Love the yugo guns. Next ill start looking into polish guns. Probably will buy a WBP Jack 556 than maybe a FB Radom in 7.62x39 After that I MIGHT look at building a Romanian collection.

probably plays a lot of COD MW2-3 and BF under his mom's basement.

EMS Rusty yeah same here

Unless you want to sell her....

As you should. Lol.

Best $175 I ever spent.

Love my narinco mac 90 sporter but i do have to ras 47s myself they havnt fail yet but ive put 1000 rounds threw both no fails yet i got mine a lil after they so called fixed the quality control issue

yeah Rob Ski at AKOperators Union has over 10,000 through his and thinks highly of the WASR

Still have my wasr. But I think it's time to get a rifle dynamics. Also have a m+m in 545

Hell yeah. 3,000+ rounds in the year and a half that I've owned mine and there's no telling how many rounds were put through it by previous owner(s) as I bought it used. It still runs like a champ even with the junkiest Tulammo and surplus mags, the way an AK is supposed to.

12 years and 8,000 on mine and she's running like a champ👍

My wasr is the best rifle I've ever owned, in terms of reliability and it just keeps working no matter how much I've abused it, it's also very accurate surprisingly.

Renovatio I love the AK, but now I'm just going to stick to high end AKs or budget ar15s.

Renovatio overbudget is subjective to individual. If you into rifle just because of cost, then you not into rifle. You get what you pay for

agreed

vepraksoldat actually if you have knowledge of what your buying you can get quality for pretty cheap most people pay more for a logo when it comes to ar 15s most are milspec an a cheap ak 47 can get you hurt lol facts...

iv seen out of box bushmasters, colts "kabom" after the first mag. so buyer beware

yeager being banned is horrible for all of us gun loving Americans,....I know your rant was against century but he still has 2nd amendment rights like the rest of us!

johnwilliams40 but how can you respect a man who pushes potential bombs to American citizens?

@@johnwilliams40who cares dude, Yeager is a bum. A lot of people are very happy that bum is banned

Most of their imports are solid. I personally rank the WASR-10 higher than the NPAP and wish they still imported the OPAP.

buy comm block area AK's for good ones, Cant go wrong

Mendelevium258 the tapco isn't necessarily junk..look up Mel64D on RU-vid..guy has built a few AK's...the tapcos metal is harder..and it's got to do with the shape of the hammer...you can reprofile it and it will lessen or stop ..it happened to my M10 and I've since worked on the G2.

Mendelevium258 Aahh I see..yeah I need to buy some cheap hammer kits and try that out also..u on...the files?

Mendelevium258 hey thanks...I wasn't searching the right stuff trying to find one

mixflip I saw this and for the record, I've hated the ras for years also, just needed a really good example to put on video because I sure as shit wasn't buying one.

Regular Guy Training LLC ah I see. Keep up the good work. I'll have to take one of your classes some day soon.

Uhmmmmmm...., OK ?

mixflip we'd be glad to have you

Here's another tidbit of logic that I continue to have problems following. He does 2000 rounds thru it with no problems. Sells it because of a video, and TWO years later still lets everyone know that he sold it because of Rob at AKOU , and Jim Fuller ( who has no respect for AKOU) OK, OK, OK, we get it Mixflip, YOU SOLD YOUR RIFLE!! We get it!!

sure dont mine is fine love it

Well people who dont train cant tell the difference

My first AK was a WASR. I've ran well over 7K rounds trough it without a single malfunction or stoppage while feeding it steel cased ammo (primarily TULA). The WASR is a little rough around the edges, but if you find one that meets the criteria of a well assembled AKM, you'll have yourself a solid, rugged rifle. Side Note - The trigger assembly in my WASR is all out of whack right now. Decided to remove the hammer and a couple other accompanying parts from the gun because the pin that runs through the hammer became loose and thats no bueno. Besides the above issue, which can hopefully be resolved (someone help me out here ?), I've had a great experience with the WASR.

the paper clip thing that holds the pins, suck. I bought the trigger pin plate for my WASR a few months after i bought the rifle... have over 5k rounds thru it with 0 issues. I can put the plate in within 1 minute, the paperclip took 30 minutes. lol.

Do not forget about Polish... ! Circle 11 .. some of the best AKs out there IMO..

Old century's seem to be good. My wasr10 was packed with cosmoline and bought right after the Clinton ban died in 04. My ak74 sport is still popping them off as well and its damn accurate and I also picked up a old ass draco that is based on an AMD-65 and has a thicker reciever that wasnt made by century it was made my some company with D.C. in its name that from what I remember later became nodak-spud. It doesnt even say draco on it, just says AK47 pistol. It's a fucking great build compared to all these new joke dracos. When I got my wasr it came with 3or4 30rnd steel mags, bayonet, wirecutter sheath and frog, cleaning kit pill in the stock, metal oil bottle, an old ass leather sling and a leather 4 mag pouch that looked like it had been in the desert for 60 years. It was a grand total of 350$ out the door and the front sight is perfectly straight up. Maybe they are making new guns to be junk. You wont notice it while plinking but maybe they make them to break if you ever actually had to really use it. I am a gunsmith and dealer but I havent had any of these new junk guns come in because most people send them back or never use them to the point of breakage. I know I dont have to worry about my converted saiga 12 screwing up like these new over priced junk AKs. Just don't buy cheap shit and you should be good. I have a few old century guns and they work great. The h&k93 clone, the c93 is a damn good build but I wouldn't replace my ptr91 with a c308 though. I'd also trust my vector v53 pistol over the c93 rifle. Century did make a c93 pistol but I havent ever seen one in real life anywhere. I barely ever saw them advertised until after they were discontinued.

My slr 107cr blew a trunion at 5k rounds. Bulgarian arsenals weren't a bad gun till about 2015 on. The stamped guns are junk. That 107r is known to have trunion issues. Stay away unless it's milled or a pre2015 import.

Cugir is fine too.

Elijah Decker love my cugirs

Very true

Jesse Robinson says the Century rep

Honestly .30 cal aks in general all suck and put you at a disadvantage to 5.45 aks and ar15s they are just a range toy

How do you like it a year later? I’ve heard nothing but good things about the vska and when ever I hear or read about someone complaining about the century arms AKs it’s about these other and I’m assuming older models and I’m think they have fixed these issues with the 2019 vska. Is it still holding up well?

The ones imported are fine. The ones that Century makes are garbage!

@@nohandle74 yeah I was just thinking the same thing 😂

at least even the Romanians have been making AK's for 50 years, mine only had a huge burr on the hammer, that i picture Olaf back in Sofia looking at, laughing, and telling the Century trained monkeys to just throw it in the box or they wouldn't get their banana

W hat A S hitty R ifle

my buddies wasr had qc issues had to send to a funsmith 😂

Manuel_Snoreaga And where is he🤔

Mendelevium258 I wonder if he ever got those SureFire lights out to everybody that pre-ordered them.

TheHossUSMC

Mendelevium258 big guys talking shit online. Ha

Mendelevium258 big tough guy! Ha You seem like a simple bitch.

If you got a Chinese AK you’re good to go 🤙🏻

Lol..I did the same ..and in 2007 maybe snagged 2 sagias for 289 each lol...love them jow

@@Genevasuggestions1 Yes Sir.

@@sleigh4019 Yeah the Saiga's are hard to beat.

Rafael Lastra com wow, casted bolts?! I see some shattered bolts in the future.

Oh yeah. Can you design a rifle with castings for ballistic tolerant components? Yes, by overbuilding the crap out of it. The AK was not designed to be built with castings, it was designed to use properly heat treated wrought/forged steel. Guys, that has to be your first question, are the bolt and locking surfaces cast? If the answer is yes, move on to another maker. Castings are a NO-GO.

Casting can be done well but it needs to be either inspected with X-Rays or tested. BMW used for its race cars only 1950s cast engines because the new ones were not proven. They went to a junk yard and picked all the rusted engines that were beat the crap out and not broken. In the end the process of good casting is more costly than forged. No way the cheap casting of Century is chosen that way.

Agreed. Casting is a legitimite process but it must be designed as such and controlled as you mention. The Century actions are the same dimensions as the forged units, that right there is a red flag. Ruger does casting right which is why their revolvers, for instance, have more meat on them. The fracture toughness of castings is usually around 50-60% of wrought steel and that must be taken into consideration at the design stage. Like I said, amateur night at Century. BTW Happy New Year to all.

The carrier is cast the bolt is NOT cast. The bolt is machined out of 5150. Although I do agree their rifles are not up to par with traditional ak materials.

I agree! Must be a real idiot to pay for a class from this moronic dipshit! I feel dumber for actually watching the hole video.

Same. Bulgarian or bust!

yup same here!

Lmao

I have many ak's and I really like my century's! I agree this kid is full of shit!

at that time and from the example I handled I was very excited for century, it would seem that over time I was proven wrong.

A shame really. I still have my original C39 and it has done me very well, though I don't put anywhere near the volume of ammo through it as you do. Will definitely be keeping an eye on it for these issues.

Love to see the honest humble reply. That doesn’t seem to happen often

mashmo0823 thank I appreciate the image of holo holding an ak .......... not my proudest fap haha

Yep wasr is only thing worth buying from them sad but true.

Npap here too, the gen 2s are better and 200 dollars cheaper than a c39v2 haha. Import!

The bolt carrier group on my zastava has deformation and sharp edges in less the 800 rounds

+Charlie Vuedoo which zastaba

Jo Mama npap

+Charlie Vuedoo gen 1 or 2? The new ones appear to be better quality than the old ones but that's just what I've heard

Based on your previous comments I have no doubt that you think you can

I agree the ak's we used to get out of China and the eastern block took work to get right as well. But that was before this kid was even born! I kinda feel sorry for him because he doesn't even realize how pathetic his videos are!

A wasr isnt a century made product tho

The WASR is an imported rifle. Made in the Cugir factory in Romania.

No, it's a fucking century. Has nothing to do with cleaning. There should be no deformation of a bolt no matter how dirty.

@@bassackwards8422 no your wrong learn more before you speak

I agree! Learn just a little about firearms in general before you act like you know something! These guys are fucking stupid !

I would honestly buy one, extremely cheap, to use the AK-like parts to build a 9mm ak looking blowback with. But nobody is asking less than what a parts kit cost for these pieces of junk

Where are you located

I'd keep it as a range toy and monitor all of its critical components. Its noble of you not to just sell it to some fool. Century believes that most people won't put many rounds in their AKs or run them hard. That's how they get away with shit!

J i use it as a comparison between Quality and crap when showing new shooters at our range.

Observant Decay I'll keep my $400 and blow it on hookers and coke😂

Alex Werkmeister how many rounds u got through it now?

me to

Same here. I've had mine for 5 years or so. ~6k rounds of Tula/Wolf through it with not a single problem outside of normal wear and tear.

L228 Trade + $1000? Haha.

Jason McKinney Nah...I got more than that lol

Damn good trade!

I know it's been four years since your comment, but I'm curious: did you try saying anything to management about the shit quality?

762x39warrior 'sporter' 😂

The trigger assembly in my WASR is all kinds of trucked up at the moment. Really sucks. Thinking about getting my MAK 90's barrel threaded, I mistook the tooling marks as threads amidst the excitement of finding a MAK in a pawn shop.

EveryGunLawisanInfringement I still have the stock trigger in my Mak 90. It's super light but, the travel is long. The PSAK-47 GB2 I have has a Red star arms fire control group & FCG retaining plate in it. Both triggers are freakin awesome. The RSA FCG is 3.5 LBS. Short & crisp.

EveryGunLawisanInfringement I forgot to add. When I looked into having my Mak barrel threaded. I was told by one Gunsmith they'd need to press out my barrel. Chop it down to 14.5" in order to thread it. Weld my brake on & press the barrel back in place. Another shop told me they'd just replace the barrel with a US made threaded barrel instead. I'm not sure if any of them knew what they were talking about. In the end I found an aftermarket muzzle brake on EBay from a long defunct company that made brakes for the Mak's around the 90's. My buddy with a lathe had to measure my barrel's OD & cut the brake's ID to fit the barrel. The brake is held in place with set screws. Looks horrible but its absolutely effective. I was told it was the loudest & most concussive brake at the AK class I attended at Regular Guy training. Also Regular Guy has a Mak 90 review that's worth a watch if you haven't seen it at least a dozen times already.

The pin that runs through the hammer slowly started to walk out and cause pretty wild malfunctions. I'm looking to just reinstall it (Tapco G2) but have no problem replacing it with something better.

EveryGunLawisanInfringement You can get on AK-Builder.com & order a RSA FCG Retaining Plate. That will solve the problem your having. A ton of company's make a retaining plate to replace the stock Shepard's Hook. It's common for the pins to walk with the Shepard's Hook installed.

I agree . Just bought a new zastava m70 because they do all the work themselves. Heard zastava got fed up with century hurting their reputation. But one thing I am going to say don’t oil a ak like a AR15 . Use a good gun grease.

@@StevenSmith-pt8rz Not supposed to do that in cold environments

Jarrid O'Bryan Century shills

Jarrid O'Bryan it's the 9 people who wasted their money.

TheJbull40 I'm also correct, gee look at that... Two obvious things were stated today.

Regular Guy Training LLC Good comeback! 😂

Rob nasty You trying to be funny?! Piss off idiot. Last comment I'll waste my time with your immature ass. The floor is yours now. Go on. Say all the stupid shit you want. Waste some more of your own time. I.Q. 100 if you're lucky.

Yeah let's make fun of intelligence because being stupid is cool!!

Good Clean Fun they should be rendered inoperable and sent back to the maker with a demand for reimbursement for being unsuitable for task.

Dellacondan That would be the best option.

Only certain brands of AK have the strong reputation of failure due to a history of failure.

Hate is a strong word, but i really really really don't like the C39 or RAS47 - but comparing them to an Inter Ordinance is just too far man, too far.

Do you even know what you're talking about? These rifles were destroyed so soon that lubrication could not possibly be a factor. They were also dried out after they broke down for clear photos. I think you need experience in shit you claim you know about, so you'd actually know what the fuck you're talking about.
