Define better? It has a shorter sight radius that will hamper accuracy but also the front sight gas block combo is also very coveted by some. The other upgrades on the rifle are not best quality but decent respectable parts that are not worthless crap so it is an outstanding value if its what your looking for. Add a nice folding stock and a good quick detach rail and I think you would have a very nice fighting rifle. Although a stock wasr is pretty much just as good for fighting just less flashy. My 2 pennies anyway, im thinking of getting one eventually, or a tgi amd and an optic solution, or a 5.45 ak if I can find a cheap one with a good barrel.

This really seems like a great "throw it in the trunk and forget" kind of rifle. It's just a simple light and red dot away from being GTG. |

Wow i really like that. Hogue grip, front sight/gas block, side rail mount. Could be a great candidate for an sbr project.
I was looking through the pics on centerfires web site and im pretty sure you can read Cugir on the right side of the reciever. Looking forward to hearing more. |

So you mean to tell me that Century doesn't make the rifles 922(r) compliant by installing a new trigger, replacing the piston, and opening up the magwell? Ok, maybe I misspoke (misstyped? Whatever): I don't want it finger diddled by them.
(On a serious note: I've owned and shot a Century WASR. Not a bad rifle for the price. ($300)) |

It is made complaint by century and I think this rifle will have ties somehow to century too. Although there is not any real difference between a wasr or any other ak and really a wasr is usually better than most because a higher percentage of the rifle is made in a military factory. Money does not buy a better ak, only a less available one. This I believe is what polythylenepam is telling you but I think you already know that and are trying to be argumentative for no reason. century doesnt do anything to wasrs to ruin them they barely touch them and every ak has the same thing done.

From the ad at Classicarms: The rifle you see above is a Romanian M10-AK variant imported directly from Romania. The M10 AK-type rifles are entirely manufactured of all NEW parts. We guarantee these rifles to exceed ATF's minimum 922R, six U.S. made parts compliancy requirements with the following, brand NEW, U.S. made parts installed: Tapco RAZR muzzle brake with integral flash hider; polymer Tapco buttstock; ergonomic Hogue Industries pistol grip; Tapco single hook G2 trigger group (3 parts); 30 round, double stack Promag, black polymer magazine; and Tapco AK retaining plate for ease of install and take down.
And considering that the quadrail handguard looks like a Midwest Industries knock off, and the rest of the stuff is Tapco, I'm wondering if they're assembling everything at a plant over there, or if it's being assembled here. That's why I was wondering if anyone had any info on this specific variant. |

(On a serious note: I've owned and shot a Century WASR. Not a bad rifle for the price. ($300)) Converting and building are two very different things. Many people have converted a "sporting" AK into a standard configuration. None of them ever claimed they "built" the rifle. Many people have assembled AKs from parts. I've never heard anyone claim they "converted a parts kit into a rifle. I have no idea what "finger diddled" means in connection with a rifle. It sounds vaguely like what high school boys did with high school girls when I was a boy if given the opportunity. I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that with a rifle. |

The rifle can't be imported in the configuration it is sold in. It's advertised as being made in Romania. Obviously, complete "sporting use" qualified rifles are imported and then converted here. In other words, the answer is neither. |

The receiver looks just like a WASR receiver.
Does it say who imported it? I'm betting it's a single stack receiver with the well opened up. |

I'd imagine it's a WASR with a different gas block. I wonder if it was imported that way of if Century swapped it out?

I bought 2, will have them Tuesday
I talked to Colorado Guns people - Century did not touch it, all work was done by Colorado Guns According to them, receiver, gas block and barrel are coming from Romania untouched, they only put 922R parts on it and slap the quadrail everybody reports dirty and sometimes marred finish, one report of canted sights, but everybody reports otherwise good workmanship on conversion and good feel and balance |

They should start selling the sight/gas blocks cheap to me. |

FSB is straight, no finish damage. Comes dressed with a Tapco stock, Hogue grip, G2 single hook, RAZR brake. All #'s match and parts appear new..I think a good buy for 499.
