Or it could be that Century is milling them open to accept standard mags.

They probably still have the narrow single-stack front trunnion prior to being converted. I wonder who is actually doing the work and what the quality is like. Need someone to buy one and report in. |

Kinda like they "replaced" (Replaced=Ground) the bolts on the CETME to get headspace. LOL I hope they are actually trying to make a nice rifle but jury is out until a few range reports are in.
Zastava website still only shows the single stack 10 round rifle so I would assume Century is building them. |

I wonder if the newly imported ones are already converted. Looks like the rear of the receiver is normal instead of the ugly angle cut |

Got the pistol grip and cleaning rod.. Not sure id be able to match the parkerized-ish finish with a new dust cover though. The pistol grip needs an allen wrench to take off btw.

Nice but ummm, were is the rear sling attachment???? Am I just missing it?? The Mitchel'ss were on the side of receiver. Looks like they removed this gun from site, might call on it.

According to a youtube video, this rifle has at least a US made buttstock if not the furniture and the requisite us made parts for compliance. I am hoping that century doesn't do anything beyond installation of parts and the single stack bolt doesn't cause function issues. However, I wouldn't be suprised if it does cause issues. This is century's "premium" ak in thier lineup.
Youtube video for those who might be interested (doesn't have a ton of info but has some nice shots of both rifles): www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLBUtnlebLI |

That does look a lot nicer. Did they chromeline the barrel by chance?

Yes it does look like a very nice rifle. The dust cover rail is a bit stupid given its uselessness and I don't know why they don't include the better rail that I have seen on their other guns (it looks like that new parabellum rail, it could be a us made rail for all I know).
