Good info above, using the stock # seems to be the most accuracte way of tracking one down. Trying to get some of these dealers to put their hands on one to verify if it's a "C" or not is a hard feat to accomplish.

J & G has about 100 in stock. I called them today.
I really shouldnt have. Cause I ordered one. He didnt say if they were "C's", and I didnt ask. I need a non "C" to SBR. I think I will keep the "C" as is..............for now. |

I just ordered one from Classic Arms they said they were out of stock but expect more in around 7-10 Days. This makes me a little uneasy but I will post my experience after all is said and done. Note Classic Arms says around $30 to ship while JG wants $50.

The furnature is nicer on this one. The hand guard releases are tighter. But I think overall, they are the same pistol. Now off to find a wood stock and an underfolder. I also found out that my CLEO is very pro gun, and will sign a Form 1. (Otero Co.) |

Ordered mine from JandG also. They charged me $50 in shipping which is awfully high. It was still the best deal I could find though. Not sure if I'm getting a C or not. I should have it by next weekend.
Edited to add: Got the pistol. Everything looks straight. Non-C model. Has the cleaning rod. One magazine, in great shape. |

I have been calling around looking for a Draco C for a while now. I could find Draco's in stock places, but could never get confirmation that they were C's.
The guys at Peach State Guns just emailed me back saying they just got an order in of 15 Draco's with some Draco C's. Ordered mine today for $399 with shipping. I'll let you know how it is when I recieve it. |

I picked up my new Draco from my FFL last Saturday and it’s awesome! Classic Arms did an good job on getting it out as soon as they came in. All the serial #s match and they even put a cleaning rod plus two mags in the box.

Problem we are seeing is many folks say the cleaning rods don't fit. |

Received mine on March 30 from Classic, but the rear of the receiver was a fair bit off with the rear sight/gas tube housing. When the sights are level the grip and receiver are canted to the left several degrees, and vice versa. I called them and asked for repair or replacement. After I told them what was wrong they didn't offer an argument at all. The cheerfully said they would send out a UPS label for return.

They have had some returned to them like most dealers will, it's all about how you grease the wheel........... |

I just placed an order with Classic Arms for mine. They said it was a C model. Very helpful over the phone with all my questions and everything I added to my order.

I was up so much last night thinking about just having the one Draco C and so many options available that I called Classic again this morning and had them add another to my order since it had not shipped yet. Just as before they were extremely helpful.

I couldn't get a solid reply when I called Classic two weeks ago. Was going to wait; decided I couldn't and bought a C model from Buds. I've bought from both Buds and Classic so it wasn't too much of a stretch once they confirmed they had the C model in stock. Shipped for $368 Hopefully it will arrive before Friday so I can get my paperwork done and over to the CLEO in our county for SBR.
Funny I swore I'd never get one of these and now I can't wait. Is there something wrong with the fact I'm paying more coin for the accessories than for the gun itself? |

Mine came in yesterday from Buds. Sights are straight, furniture is crap but I plan on replacing it anyway. I have no idea how once my stamp comes in I'm going to attach an ACE folding mechanism. It appears outside of my comfort zone. I had issues just cutting the weld off the thread protector last night. I'll have to find someone I guess to do the trunion work for me. My plan is to attach a VM sling plate or have a local smith install a sling swivel stud until the stamp arrives.
Definitely a project gun, but looks like a fun one to pass the time. Oh, and definitely a C model. |

Two things: overzealous assembler with apparently a Sams Club sized weld bead and my fear of screwing it up with the Dremomatic. Now while I wait for my form to process I'm trying to figure out where to send it so that I can have the trunion set up. I've decided I don't want to FIUBAR'd by doing a DIY.

Price increase:Probably supply and demand. I talked to Dave at Midwest Gun yesterday,and he advised to email him instead of calling him.He can get a quicker response back to you. Have him "hold" one for you. [email protected] At the time when I posted the thread as a source for Dracos they had like 200 in stock, and the members here scooped them up at the $329.00 price.No longer the case.Just like gas prices.Sorry. |

Well, got my replacement Draco last week from Classic. The last one had the sights canted to the left very noticeably and this one has the sights canted to the right. I give up. I'll just put a handguard on with rails and mount a dot sight of some kind.
 I want to shoot it.

I'll just put a handguard on with rails and mount a dot sight of some kind. I want to shoot it.Soak the sight/gas block in kroil or other penetrating oil over night, drive out the two pins with a punch, lay on a piece of wood like a section of 2x12 and pound the sight block with a lead hammer the way you want it to go. Then clean up the holes with a drill and drive the pins back in the block. If it's stuborn apply some heat from a propane torch. I had to do this with mine and on other AK's over the years.It's about a 15 minute job. |

If you got a bad one w/ issues like canted sights/cycling issues etc... then you need to contact Century Arms for either a replacement or having them fix your rifle if possible. If either of these happened, the pistol you receive in return would be shipped to your house if it's the same serial # pistol as the original, or if it is a replacement I believe it has to be sent to an FFL. If they do send a replacement to your FFL I would ask them to credit you the transfer fee/background check. |

The best I have been able to do is speak w/ J&G and ask their warranty guy Andrew to look over a pistol for replacement. He was willing to do this but only on a replacement level, if you are just ordering one they will not check it before shipping it out which is pretty common with most dealers. Your best bet is to choose a reputable dealer and go with them in case you need to do a return. Personally I think J&G has stand up CS and they do a great job of working with customers on returns. |
