Henderson Certified Century Golani

[atblis]

Completely milled, very clean.

I wouldn't call that clean. Actually, the machining on your receiver looks worse than on my dads gun.

Your hammer also does not appear to be a G2 hammer. That looks like a surplus Galil hammer. I bet if you look at the bottom of it has the notch for what I suspect is the auto sear.

In fact, your gun looks almost identical. How about some up close pictures of the stock folding mechanism?

A Century knockoff, umm yeah sure.

I forgot about the Tantals. I need to add that on Century's wall of shame.

I know that seems like a bit of a stretch, but if it's a true Hederson certified rifle, they would be held to blame for letting it out like that. That's all that I was checking for.

I wasn't responding to you, but rather WardenWolf's insistence that it is a Century knockoff.

Ahhh

I purchased a century wasr 10/63 from Henderson (and I paid the extra "certified" fee) around this time last year....and the gun has been great. Besides the furniture being unfinished, everything else was in great condition. I would call up Henderson and complain.

A few updates.

Well got it to the range today.

The feeding is still a little odd. It didn't fail to feed, but you could feel it hang up cycling a few times. I took the shims out of the feed ramp because the feed ramp appears to serve to locate the mag. The mag wobble is actually due to me shimming the feed ramp. With the feed ramp lower, the mag wobble is gone. Need to pull that video down. Anyways, what I need to do is make a shim that matches the bottom of the feed ramp dimensionally, that way the feed ramp is higher, but still engages the magazine. I might also weld it and machine it flat (would have to pull the barrel for that).

The chamber polishing has helped a little. It still fails to extract, but not every single round like it did a first. At this point I am convinced the extractor and or spring needs replaced. The fired brass looks fine where it engages the chamber which indicates to me the chamber isn't rough anymore. I also noticed that the ejector just barely grazes some of the cases. The ejection is also erratic when it does eject. Some of the cases are thrown correctly like I'd expect for an AKish weapon. 10 ft forward and to the right. Other just barely make it out of the gun (some not at all).

You can drop a couple lbs off the trigger by tweaking the trigger return spring. It is way heavier than it needs to be.

Well, I think we're done here.

I was taking a closer look at the extractor and noticed this. It looks like the monkeys ground the bolt to get it into headspace. :banghead: It's not ground square either.

Seriously, what the crap? That's nothing like mine, and I got mine just a few months ago. I seriously don't think that's real Century, regardless of what people say. I know Century has produced bad rifles in the past, but the new-production Golanis are very nice rifles.

Have you looked at the back of your bolt? What's the serial # on your rifle?
