Received my Golani from Classic Arms. Very pleased with the service, if not bothered by the poor build quality of the Century made rifle I would be overjoyed. The rear cover has so much play, you can push on it from either side and throw your shots off at 100 yd by as much as 6"; and that's at 100! Finish is very poor, looks like someone held it over a fire and roasted it to make a black carbon build up over pitted rust, numerous spots are unfinished or extremely thin; can't call this parkerizing, don't know what it is. Rear sight barely works and wobbles, changing elevation by several inches. Haven't had any malfunctions. . . yet. Can't imagine how they can honestly build rifles with such a disregard for even the lowest levels of quality.
Anyone compare these to the Polish Tantals? They look nice in pics, but then again so did the Golani
Send it back to Classic and get a different one. Mine is gtg after a trip back to century for canted sights.
Are you saying yours got a nice new finish after you got it back? And how much was shipping? Don't know if I would trust these guys to do an improvement on the thing. It will require all the parts be stripped to metal, sanded, and parkerized (note I didn't say perkerized because you can't call this a parkerization by any definition). I think I may do a coating myself on it, spray paint would look better and be more durable.
Ask for a different rifle.
Mine looks good finish wise. It just had canted sights which they fixed by re-timing the barrel. Now it shoots great.
If Classic won't swap it out for a better one, send it back to Century for either a swap or a refinish, new top cover, etc.
Just be clear about what is wrong with it in your opinion, and they will most likely fix it for you.
