I have been offered a RAS47 in a trade transaction.
I know nothing about AKs.
Is there anyone with first hand knowledge of the RAS47?
Can they be modified in any way?
I have been doing some research, but I would like a non-writers input.

Pretty much any type of stamped AKM furniture will work on it. There are tons of magpul furniture options too.

I bought one as a toy, and quickly added an ultimak rail + primary arms red dot, synthetic furniture and a sling. It's nothing special, but it's a shooter and I like it.

New they go for about $500. Some purists don't like the fact it's missing the standard cleaning rod and bayonet mount. I couldn't care less.

American made trunnion of questionable quality is the knock on these I believe. I don't own one but my Romanians yugo and Russian have been great.

Trade details?

pls do more research, YouTube it, etc.. there are many  people having issue with their trunion, bolt, carrier, cast parts etc. It might not be worth it on the long run. Its a gable, maybe some are good some are bad, Think about it, why is the original owner getting rid of it? maybe he just discover his RAS47 is not in par with the rest. just my 2ยข

The RAS has cast trunions. That's a deal breaker for many. There is nothing inherently wrong with cast trunions as long as they are done right. I don't know if Century could be trusted to do them correctly.
