Picking up an AK in the next few days just because I want to have one.  I've read that the  N-PAP DF is a decent AK but I've read that Century AKS are not so decent.  The one linked below has Century listed as the manufacturer but I thought I read that the  N-PAP DF was manufactured by Zastava.

Does Century legally become the manufacturer when they import and modify it, or what?

So confused.  I just want to add a decent and reliable AK to the collection.  Looking to get an underfolder and have no plans to modify it at all.

Is this a decent AK?  Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Edit to add:

Here's another one.  What's the difference in the two linked in my post?

It is imported by them, thats it. My n-pap and m92 have both been excellant.

It's a good value for an AK. 

Century imports the basic rifle, and puts a few American made parts (flash suppressor, pistol grip...) to make it legally compliant. 

The only downside is that the barrel is not chrome lined.  So as long as you clean it soon after you shoot, it'll be fine.

Thank you.  Understanding all the varying AK variants and import stuff is tricky.

They are good to go. UF locks up tight, finish is good, and my barrel components are on straight.

I love mine. Arsenal built so very little for Century to mess up.  A little elbow grease and wood oil on the hand guards polishes off the finish.  Its a well built rifle and have heard very few complaints about any of Zastava's PAP's.

Yeah, I like mine too.  Zastava AK's have the best out of the box fit and finish that you will find in the current crop of factory AK's.
