Id hold off on that right now, There are a few that are having problems with the cast bolts breaking or having excessive wear with little over a 1000 rounds thru them. This on both the C39 and the RAS47

Now, I found the C39 V2. I'm digging it and Atlantic has them in stock. Only thing that bothers me is the lack of the side mount for a rail. It looks like there's other mounting options out there but I'm unsure of those.

I haven't heard about cast bolts, just bolt carriers maybe or cast trunnions on the RAS. C39/C39V2 is milled, no trunnion.

I kinda got a hankering for one of these:

LOL!!!!! You know why I'm laughing? I'm on that guy's pre-order list for his next batch for my current AK. LOL I didn't even know this would work on the C39 V2 because I thought those screws were missing from Century's milled receiver. Well, this is great news! hahaha Awesome! Thanks for posting this!

Chatter is bout all the cast parts. bolt and carrier on the C39 and all 3 on the RAS47. Hard to tell how much is Century bashing and how much is real. BUT some of it is definitely real. Theres lots of pics of sheared bolt lugs and stuff like that on AKfiles and AK operaters union. I just found out last month myself. I have a RAS47 and worried about that and Century falling back into their old habits

It's why if I do anything Century, it needs to have been imported - not built - by them. I just don't trust them, on top of being a "foreign armory built" snob.

To me, when shopping for an AK 90% seem to be a CAI. They pump out AKs like McDonald's pumps out hamburgers. How do you guys rank the top 3 or 5 AK producers?

Anyone here been to an AK Operators Union training course? I want to go to one. Looking at the Colorado option in June of 2016.

Im the same way. I bought a CAI built so called "Polish" Tantal in 5.45X39 cal and it had the over bored barrel so the round came out of the barrel tumbling. I called Century and the lady said that this was normal that the 545X39 round was supposed to tumble and they emailed me an old Guns and Ammo magazine article about how the round was suppossed too tumble. I guess what the Century Rep didnt understand is the round shouldnt yaw till after it hits an object!!!

She told me there was nothing wrong with the rifle and they wouldnt warranty it. After that Im not purchasing any domestically built AK's. The target pic is from the "Polish" Tantal at 30 yards. The three holes in the bottom left bullseye are from another rifle.

Another thing that I hate is how CAI will take mismatched parts from several parts crates, slap it together and call it a "Polish" or Hungarian" AK!
