CAI... has been GREAT for me!

[xxxleafybugxxx]

I have two ak's. A wasr 10 that I bought about 7 or 8 years ago, and its great. It does what I want out of a 47, which is throw lead downrange. I've never had a jam out of the thousands of rounds i've put through it. Great plinking rifle. My second AK, is a polish tantal that I bought about 5 months ago. Great rifle as well. Much more accurate than the WASR, and they are both incredibly fun to shoot. I suppose my reasoning for posting this was to say how great my CAI rifles are. I hear so many people who dislike the product, but i've had nothing but good results. Also, the price you pay is such a bargain. I bought my tantal for 400, and I couldn't be happier. Im glad I went with that over the Saiga and pay an extra 200. I'm not bashing the Saiga, I'm just sayign I got such a good deal with my CAI. I will most likely be buying more rifles from Century Arms.
Just my .02 on that

I've got a Century AK-74-type build on a NoDak receiver that's flawless. No issues and it shoots great. Century's good builds are absolutely fine- their problem is that they have more than their fair share of bad builds.

...and they have been for a lot of people but only promag screws up more guns than they do.

Gotta hand it to them. They will step out and build some neat stuff!! Sometimes, it even works.

Century doesn't build stuff. They hire the cheapest builder they can find that will cobble together something that resembles a rifle. Over the years, they've put out some real stinkers. I think their reputation is buoyed by the number of firearms they simply import and have no hand in making. These are generally real military firearms that work. Otherwise they'd be right up there with Hesse/Vulcan/Blackthorne (to many they are).

The Wasr10 incidentally was built in Romania in a real military arms factory. That's the reason they tend to run well.
