I have 4 Century Yugos and have never had a problem with any of them.  I still feel like I'm rolling the dice every time I buy a Century build though.

It is still a crap shoot. Mt Golonai is awesome but then I saw a stack with canted barrels.

My CAI Tantal is one of the best AK's I have ever fired.  No keyholes or anything with all sorts of different ammo.  It shoots very tight groups with Silver Bear 55 grain JHP.

The fact that they simply bring so damn many AK's to market is enough to more than redeem them in my mind. They stand behind their guns and even if you get a jacked up one they tend to make it right.

They've done more in the last several years to make many varieties of AK's available to us at a decent price than any other company out there.

Questionable QC or not......I'm damn glad Century is around.

i was skeptical about my century WASR3 but once i shot it, the only problems were ammo related (reloads, had 1 FTFire due to too hard a primer, and one FTFeed bc the bullet had gone inside the casing, but that had happened earlier in my AR as well, so ive decided it to be ammo-related problem) and other than that it shot great, even though i didnt have the sight tool as was grouping to the left.

the thing with century though is that they know that they have some lemons, so they usually will have no problems if you call them, tell them it doesnt work and send it to them, they will send you one that they test fire i hear, so they konw it will work.  that seems like good customer service to me, and since they are only like 200 miles away from me, any problems i have would be resolved quickly.  i wouldnt hesitate to buy another century import if i saw a good deal for one.


century's in house builds from either matching or random parts on the other hand.......

They aren't nearly as bad as their reputation, if you ask me.

People keep in mind that CAI Tantal's right now are not quality.  Keyholes as soon as the barrel gets warm for most members.  You looking at a 50/50 chance of getting a good barrel.  Now KaseyK's cai tantal maybe kick ass, but i just want to give the heads up.

CAI - never buy tantals or WASRs

CAI - Yugo's kick ass!!!

Hey my CAI Yugo kicks ass, and my CAI WASR kicks ass as well...  I got a very nice one and I have never had a problem with it.

My GP1975 has been great.  Nice finish, shoots great.

My WASR's are very nice shooting rifles.  Never a problem.

Recent WASRs have been great. They would have redeemed themselves totally if not for the tantal mess.

I bought 12 tins(1080 rds each) of 5.45X39mm delivered to my door for $1439 .
I bought 7 tins (900 rds) of 8mm delivered to my door for $349
I bought 4000 rds of OFV M80 (7.62X51mm) delivered to my door for $280


I don't care what anybody says about Century Arms. I have been very grateful to have them as a source for goodies and hope to be able to buy more from them soon.

My original SARs are the best shooters I own. My Yugo M70 arrived with a canted front site that Century quickly & professionally corrected. The Yugo RPK is the best deal going right now. The WASRs are great deals, clean up nicely and any problems are usually easily corrected. Century has nothing to redeem themselves for IMHO.

I have 3 Romanian AK rifles from CAI. Never had a problem with any of them. Matter of fact, out of the box the sights have been right on the money. Both of my Arsenals had to have the sights adjusted quite a bit.

Still iffy IMHO.  Bought a GP1975 a month ago and shot it this weekend.  Seems like it'll shoot well enough but the front sight base is canted.  I maxed out the windage adjustment and it's still shooting 3-4 inches to the left of POA.  The rifle also has a loose trunion rivet that I didn't notice at first but since there's five more I figure it can't go anywhere.  Also had some function issues with both Wolf and Prvi but I didn't have but one mag with me so that might have been a bum magazine.

Not a bad looking AK but the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned...

It's easy to tell that the Century Yugo rifles are not made in house. The quality is VERY good on these rifles, probably the best value today in the AK market. Mine is built like a brick shithouse and is very accurate.

I have four CAI Ak's, and the AMD 65 puts higher end guns to shame--fit, finish, accuracy all BETTER than my Henderson Defense 74 (which I also love).  I had one WASR2 that had to go back (bought through AIM).  Quickly replaced.

Their shipping is the most reasonable of any company out there.

Ammo deals second to...almost none!

I love Century!

Lots of LOVE LOVE LOVE here for CAI.

A. Obama won't become president.

B. My WASR has had no issues, nor has my CETME.


Yes, they have redeemed themselves.

I have three CAI Kalashnikovs (two Yugo, 1 RPK).  All nice, but the RPK sights are slightly canted.  The windage is adjusted and the bullets go where I want them to, so it's nobig deal.
