When you talk about Century, you have to be careful.there are foreign arsenal built guns, like the WASR 10 and the N-Pap/O-Pap series, there are kit built guns like the M70, GP1975, etc., there are Gen 1 US C39 guns, and there are the new C39v2 guns and the new US stamped guns. That said the 104/107/Sam7 Bulgarian guns are available and nice rifles. The days of the 21-61 and all the arsenal Saiga conversions is probably over until the Russian sanctions are over. Keep an eye on DDI, they are a promising company. They are fairly new to the game and seems to be doing well, they have milled guns on the market that are doing well and are working on stamped AKs currently. but running in many AK circles I have found they should be avoided at all costs, they claim to have improved their quality but there business practices should be enough to steer clear. I do not have first hand experience with IO inc. My WASR has been nothing but problems and after 2 trips back for "repairs" Century is replacing the rifle. My M92 PAP is well built and been a good shooter. Often these rifles will not have concentric bores, so be careful if you attempt to suppress them. Look for canted front sights, this may just be the sight was put on crooked, the front trunnion wasn't installed correctly or the rear sight tower is canted. Things to look for are straightness of the rifle over all, canted front or rear trunnions can introduce issues. Rifles they import and do little work to can turn out pretty well, others not so much. But Arsenal of Bulgaria is still able import SLR pattern rifles through Arsenal inc.Ĭentury Arms guns can either be great or absolute crap.

Unfortunately with the sanctions on Russian firearms Saiga pattern rifles are no longer being imported, there have been rumors of some clever work arounds but nothing confirmed. is the best off the shelf AK at the moment, my SGL-21 has run with zero gun related malfunctions for several thousand rounds.
