Century Arms VSKA Tabletop Review and Field Strip 

Bought one of these yesterday and I am super impressed. I had never fired an ak previously. I'm sold. Fired a couple hundred rounds with zero malfunctions. Excited to spend some more time with this thing

Gun shop snobs and AR customized nerds dont understand, This is an amazing firearm for an affordable cost. It has everything you need and will do its job absolutely

I love my VSKA. I have put over 7,000 rounds through it. 99% of those rounds were cheap steel cased ammo. I have yet to have any malfunctions on the VSKA. This is a well USA made AK variant. Good review sir! Enjoy your rifle.

I bought a VSKA three days ago, while I have yet to fire it, I have taken it apart to give it a good clean and lube. ~I think the VSKA is well built, inside and out. The stock pistol grip feels good in my hand. ~My VSKA has a single-stage trigger with no take-up at all. It has an icicle kind of crisp break and I love it much. ~Century Arms has a bad reputation with their American made AK Rifles, but given the materials the VSKA is made from, I'm hoping for better results. It has the appearance of a well made AK Rifle.

Thanks for the tip on putting the top cover back helped me a ton 👍

My century arms vska is coming in and watching your video is so helpful with knowing and leading the mechanics of this rifle. Ty for your in depth video man. Really love it. Subscribing too your channel too

Just picked mine up today. All black! Can’t wait to take it out in the range tomorrow to test it out. Thanks for the video. Gotta clean out the factory gross oil.

Great review, hope to buy one my self later when money is available. Love seing all the negative and positive comments as well. Truthfully I'd encourage those that speak againts it to buy one then comment & for those who purchased one please keep these post coming. Thanks and enjoy your firearm 👌

Interesting offering from Century, I look forward to your range review Graham! 😁

Thanks, I enjoyed this video. Wanting to get my first AK . This was very informative

Great video love how you explain how to break it down!🤘🏼

Thank you for this video. I had my friends VSKA while he was in the hospital and wanted to clean it for him. I knew nothing about it. Tore it about and put it back easy because of your video.

that megadeth in the intro took me pleasantly by surprise

I think it’s a classic beauty and American made, good choice. I picked up the RAS AK-47 from them (I think yours is better) to replace my WASR I regrettably sold. AKOU may down play them but for my use it’s fine. Thanks for posting!!!👍🏼

Nice rifle. I really like that maple furniture.

Thanks for the video .

Good stuff

1.5mm thick receiver. I like it. Even the trigger but when I put in my ALG trigger I bet it is even better.

You can also use a full magazine too help release the empty magazine too by pulling on that tab. That’s another reason they made such a wide mag release lever.

At 2:20 I was wondering what the notch was for on the safe/fire lever. I was watching mainly for the field stripping but the review was very informative and helpful too. Thanks!!! :)

This is going to be very good rifle with little hamer polishing.

So cool.

A scope is not needed on an AK. Keyboard gunners might disagree. The NVA didn't use scopes

It may have already been mentioned, but Illustration #14 is missing in the reassembly section of the manual. Regardless, great video and overview of the VSKA! I love mine!

Yes they’ve finally figured it out lol. These are very well built and reliable. I now have two lol. The wood version and recently bought the trooper version with the circle 10 triangle stock. I put on a cheese grater gas tube cover and going to get the circle 10 grip. Man, it looks mean! So glad they’ve finally stopped with the cast trunnions and using the correct stuff! The VSKA will be a classic, don’t hesitate on getting one!

thanks brother

That mag release is bigger for using a full mag too release the empty mag for a quick change out. Just a little knowledge for the day.

I like the mag release lever. The one on my Century CGR is small and difficult.

I sure wouldn't mind adding that to my collection 🖒🖒

4 months later and still no range footage?

Nice looking rifle will they have a underfolder

Are these better and do you know if century will replace a Ras47 for a wasr or this new one?

I have one exactly like it, but don't know what the little lever on the right side of the gun (looking down through the sites) is for. It's directly below the rear site!

I've had nothing but good experiences with Century products. Maybe I'm lucky. I dont know. Either way, looking forward to the shooting review. By the way, how much do these go for?

Is your front sight post low??? I have one and it’s supper low

Is the quality the same on this the same as the AKG 47 you did a table top review on?

I'll keep an eye out for your experience as the AK operators union has had an OK at best first impression. That's just their given sample. Maybe you'll have a different experience. What's good about these small channels that get the same products is there's no reason to copy a larger channels findings. With the archon B there were a few issues, then KB32 didn't have any compared to the others. You gotta find and keep up with the product and respect the reviewers word.

Between the RAS47 and this new VSKA which one is the better choice?? I wish there was a video putting them head to head, really breaking them down.

Curious, are the barrel grooves 0.308 or 0.311?

SLANT Break. They're still the *best* muzzle control, but have zero Flash Hiding functionality.

Just picked one up and iam having trigger issues. I have to push the trigger forward from the rear to dry fire test.

My vska shoots like a champ

"Some like em smooth some like em ribbed"

I have a few different types of these weapons...I've found that stamped receivers get hot and warp just enough to lock the bolt shut, of course that's after some rapid drum mag shooting, but, my milled receiver ak can get red hot and keep shooting...just my experience

Was it accurate right outta the box

i got ah red wood finish VSKA best gun ive ever had gotta drum for it too 🤣 wish i could put a laser on it i cant find one anywere or a slide

I LIKE IT RIBBED. PERSONAL PLEASURE OF MINE. SINCE I LOVE OPTICS

When you have a double hook setup and you go to replace it you can use a single hook

And they’ll run ALL magazines! No problem!

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

In info on this government contract.. Just wondering .. Thanks

The ones with wood furniture look decent, but the ones the century plastic not so much, I would replace that with something better. I got one in the Russian red furniture.

I used to hate Century arms but I seen a AK in my local shop that had better rivets than every other AK in the store and was in disbelief that it was a VSKA

Why’d my VSKA come with a different barrel? I have a round muzzle similar to an AR.

You mentioned it's Century's cheapest AK. It's cheaper then the RAS47?

Smooth and slick for her pleasure 😋

I have this gun it’s a very good gun inky problem I have with the one I have is that it’s my compliant

Complete your disassembly so that you can get to the gas port. It needs cleaning every now and then. I use pipe cleaners dipped in bore cleaner fluid.

I had a century arms G3 that I had to sell for $75(for parts). Weld broke on the gas tube.

Nyet! Arsenal Bulgarian SAM7R is good.

Ppl can hate on century all they want... they are probably same ppl who don’t like glocks too.

Cutting holes into an otherwise perfect bolt is a dealbreaker. Buy the WASR 10 instead.

I would like to see more information on the PSAK from Palmetto State Armory do you know much about them

Based on what I've heard online so far I think I paid too much for mine at my local gun shop...

Does the stock come off anyone ???

I am extremely sceptical of anything Century builds. Considering how they knew about the time bombs they were building and did nothing about.

Ahhh Graham you say "American Made" proudly as if that's a good thing for AK's 🥴😬

People who say ticking time bomb have never shot this weapon. And people who say junk have probably shot this weapon.

AKG47 is better

No scope mount does bother me . I don’t know why it wasn’t added

The Hi-Point of Ak's

Until Ak Operators Union get done with their testing on Century Arms VSKA, I am not going to buy it. For the C39v2 rifle was a total fiasco using cast metal in many of their parts. This made me decide to buy Arsenal AK-47 SAM7SF rifle, which in my opinion is far superior to anything Century Arms have.

Not riveting a scope rail is pure laziness

my dude say built tough, but people say the vska is junk... The newer version BFT47 is better

That looks like walnut not maple

No excited by this rifle, your videos on Galil Ace convinced me to purchase the 556 and 7.62x39 model rifles, f@ck ye@h

My son Just bought a Thunder Ranch VSKA AK. Turns out Century Arms is still a Garbage Gun Maker! 15 years ago I bought a Century wsar10 ...Sights were almost as crooked as the rivets....a few year latter i bought an RPK ... a bigger version of the first AK...fast forward 12 years and the sights are straight but the rifle wont even work. My son tried to load a round and the action jammed without firing a single round. Took off the Dust cover and removed the spring , Needed a mallet to get the action open, What we found was a scratched shell and even worse a nice impact on the primer with no trigger pull. He is trying to get it back to them but they don't want to answer phones and has to resort to Email. Point is RU-vidrs Get cherry guns to review .... You and I get Garbage guns to buy! I suggest You pass on any gun made by Century Arms. 3 rifles over 15 years, each and every one was crap!

Buy an Eastern Block, buying an American made Ak is as stupid as buying an Ar from Romania 😂😂😂😂😂

Well what other choice do we have if we like ak47 it's either try and buy a 1,200.00 dollar and up ak47 which is hard to do because even if you got the money people are always out of stock or these lower end ones that companies skimp on and don't make right. Back in they days there was good ones all over what the hell happened like maadi I spelled that wrong but o well. And Bulgarian and polish hell it's even getting a little hard to finde wasr any more. Now we are getting stuck with this bull shit junk. All we want is a God dam ak47 that is a fucking ak we want it made right with no skimp and made with good parts no cheap ass cast parts or 4140 shit for a bearrle. What I want in an ak47 hammer forged bearrel that's chrome lined, steel trunons front and back steel bolt and bolt carrier not shitty cast, rivets to be properly fitted good trigger that's ak spec no canted sights a mags that fit properly, stocks that stay tight, and good internal parts. How the fuck hard is it to make a gun right. We all need to stop buying this junk shit till they get the hint we want real ak47 not no cheap as junk we need to tell the companies we not spending a dime till they come up with what we want a a reasonable price with no skimping on shit. It's sad people put down the wasr but I never had one fail and they are still better then the newer shit that comes out today.

Cast parts and no optic rail, yippie.

Too much editorializing, and did not completely disassemble firearm for cleaning.......meh.... I will still give a like because I'm not a jerk

You sound like seth Rogen

New from new Factory from Republika Srpska TRB Bratunac ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G2FS9Ml98dc.html

As soon as you said “essentially” I wanted to smash my fucking TV and I stopped watching the video. Like “literally” almost threw a 92fs at my tv

The finish looks like crap

Junk !

VSKA: Verified Series (of) Kalishnakov Abominations

Love the vid but spit the damn gum out bro

Big waste of money, if you ask me.

Century Arms is, and always has been poor quality trash.

THATS A PIECE OF JUNK....ANOTHER TICKING TIME BOMB....

So much misinformation and lack of combloc knowledge

SPOILER: it's garbage that won't make it past 1500 rounds.

Are these better and do you know if century will replace a Ras47 for a wasr or this new one?
