I recently got a Century Arms GP1975 and was able to take it out to shoot yesterday. I was a little concerned b/c of the Century Arms connection, but I've owned one of their Golanis and my brother in law had a WASR. Both were very reliable.

I loaded 5 magazines and mainly function-tested it along with some relatively short range accuracy checking. The gun was great. Completely reliable, and it appears to be pretty accurate although longer range testing is necessary. I was mainly shooting Wolf soft points. No jams or failures of any kind.

My only complaint is the gun's black polymer furniture. The front hand guard has no heat shield and at round 120 or so it got hot. Also, the Warsaw-length butt stock is too short. I'm thinking about investing in a K-Var NATO-length furniture set. Any thoughts about that ?
 
Had to look it up...just a monkey made AK with black plastic furnature. Congrats. They must have made it on a Tuesday.
 
I typed something too provocative about the knee jerk century critics. Remember what mama said, if you can't say something nice say nothing at all.

I recently bought 2 of the vz2008 and love love love them both. I also have an FN49 and a yugo 24/47 mauser from them. All great guns.

I have about 30 rifles from Century. Most work fine, some surplus imported, and some take a little home gun smithing.
 
I'm still liking it. I added a SAW grip and a UTG butt pad from Carolina Shooters' Supply to add an inch to the stock. It fits better now, and the pad was a lot cheaper than a NATO length or adjustable stock.
