I came across this yesterday. It was posted 3 months ago, so it's current. Hope it helps..

It's an ok piece of weaponry. I've had one for a few years and it shoots fine. Milled receiver is a plus and so is American made (think import bans), but no chrome lined barrel is a bug minus. Youre gonna be replacing it sooner than you think. If it breaks, you're gonna have a problem, since Century does not sell replacement parts. Since it was modeled after the Polish AK, many of the Polish parts will fit, but it's on you to make sure they do and operate correctly. Century doesn't do repairs either, unless it a warranty issue. Would I buy another, no. Not to mention the msrp on them is now $900. If your gonna spend that kinda cash, might as well add a few hundred and get a Cadillac. If I ever do buy another AK it's going the be an Arsenal.

Palmetto State manufactured AKs are made in South Carolina. A Southern state ain't my enemy, yankee.

Assembled not manufactured.

And my little brother is the only one in the family born north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

What ammo do you shoot in your “made in the USA” AK?

Meant to have a smiley face.

I don't own a PSA... my Saiga 7.62x39 is Russian, as is the ammo. But when it comes to people wishing to do me harm and take away my rights, the Russians are the least of my worries.

Thanks for the info - I paid $667 net for it. The barrel is indeed chrome moly. Nitride treated which I have not problem with. One of the most comfortable and accurate out of the box rifles I've ever fired. I love it. I am thinking earlier versions might have had some common issues that ave been addressed in the later v2s.

Interesting that you can tell what I can afford. What else do you think you know about me?

There is reading, but most importantly, there is comprehension
I never implied you could not afford whatever
I hope you are wealthy
But, you should consider the context, i.e. "if"
Then you can get whatever floats your boat
I could not care less what you buy
To answer your question, you are too easily offended
Too easily butt-hurt
And, you assume the worst when you do not take the time to comprehend plain english

Do you own an Arsenal and have come to that conclusion or is it sour grapes because you don't want to lay out the cash for one ? I've owned Arsenals for a while and have yet to be dissappointed in the purchases. Please don't tell me the Arsenal is the same as a WASR or PAP. I own all three and can tell you the Arsenal is much more refined relative to build quality etc. You can't compare a ford or chevy to a cadillac.
