Buying one built on DC receiver, comes with 5 steel mags I believe it's a century. Anything I should know about it.

Century builds can be hit or miss, just function test the hell out of them.


I have two AB2's that were custom builds by PoHF, and they are excellent.

Never buy a AK unseen. Never buy a Century unseen. A Century AK... well, you get the idea. Unseen is like the lotto. Good luck with that.

Two versions out there:  The standard AB2 with the 1.6mm receiver and the AB2T with a 1mm receiver.



I prefer the AB2s, but there is nothing wrong with the AB2Ts, just personal preference.

DC receivers are very good high grade steel and properly heat treated...
From what I have heard - these rifles were contracted out for manufacturing by Century
The barrel is non chrome lined  (the original Yugos was not chromed either) No problem as long
as you clean ...
The barrel is also probably new manufacture and was prob produced by Green Mountain

The M70AB2 is just kick ass looking

If you get 1 that will shoot 3 m.o.a out of the box and it is a 1.6mm receiver then hang on to it. I had to adjust the front sight base but other than that it runs flawless.

Not buying blindly, I will see it tomorrow and I'm getting it from a reliable guy I've dealt with before. It is a century, 1.6 DC receiver. Just thought I'd ask if theres anything I should be looking for.

One thing that folks forget is that if you fire corrsive ammo most gun solvent wont work. If you shoot corrsive ammo you need to clean your weapon with windex, or some type of Ammonium cleaner,and then oil very good. If you dont have Windex than plan water will be better than Hoppes #9.
