Enlighten me, are Century Arms International products pieces of junk? This seems to be the general consensus everywhere I turn, but a few people claim they are good guns. Any opinions?
This is a marketing decision on Arsenal's part, toward keeping their product's prices (new and secondary markets) artificially inflated.Wise Lite Arms said:If you are comparing AK's, consider that ARSENAL made about 500 long guns that year.
In my experience any work that century does on a firearm that goes beyond stamping on an import mark is going to fall somewhere between complete and total crapshoot to unmitigated disaster.
The large majority of that are going to be guns converted to 9.22r compliance with US made parts. It used to be a lot of trigger parts, gas pistons, furniture and other easily changed parts, however tighter ATF regs have changed that to adding US made barrels and receivers lately. Some of their US made AK 5.45x39 barrels had some issues with key-holing. They blamed surplus ammo for the problem.I just glanced at the BATFE Annual Firearms Manufacturing And Export Report for 2007.
Century Arms MANUFACTURED over 24,000 LONG guns in that year.
I believe that was all rifles.
Is Century Arms junk?
