I recently purchased one, as did my father and uncle. 2 are of the Hessie design, and 1 is a Century type. All 3 work just fine. I have put 300 rounds of the finest South African ammo I can find and not one problem. They are hard on the cases, but not nearly as bad as our HK 93. The rifles are very well built. The welds are every bit as good as the HK 93 we have. All 3 came from SOG at a cost of $395 each. The accuracy is not as good as it could be, but it is OK. I have not benched it for accurate numbers though. The rifle is not nearly as good as my M1A, but it is good enough for shooting old pieces of junk. If you are looking for a match rifle, do not buy one of these, if you are looking for something to kill dirt and shoot up old cars, this rifle is more than capable. The Hessie rifles have the HK drum type sights which appear to have some capability for adjustment, the Century rifle has the flip type sight. The Hessie receiver is stamped, and the Century is cast. I am pleased with mine, but would not buy a 2nd.
