WTF was with that back window?

 

[indykid]

Great video and a perfect answer to someone who just the other day said that the C39 was junk without ever firing one.

 

[Trigger Time]

So what happened with the window? Just bad timing?funny!

 

[Sainte]

prolly a combo of cold weather, cold glass and lots and lots of vibrations set up from firing the rifle?

Good video, thanks for posting it. I had not heard that CAI was selling an all USA ak pattern rifle.

It looks like it got toasty. I have a saiga ak with a Texas Weapons Systems railed hand guard on it and it gets stupid hot after a few mags. Rail covers make it manageable, but the whole front end just gets ridiculously hot.

 

[TheDude]

Good on Century, as their reputation can only go up. 1000rnds of vibration may be the culprit on the back window like Sainte says....wow.

probably the best example of teaching people wearing eye protection at the range or anywhere when shooting a gun.

Wow that video was great! Just in time to warm up the ak!!

 

[TLHelmer]

Very interesting results!

Are they gonna make a "Draco" style pistol version ?

 

[kawtech87]

I am still leery of Century. Until this rifle is proven with more reviews and rounds down range I will stick to my Bulgarians.

I have the Century Polish 1960 and it is a great rifle. I would never pay the Bulgarian prices for an AK...or an AR for that matter.

I know people who own Century built guns that run flawlessly. I'm not saying Century can't build a decent gun.

But I know everyone who knows anything about AKs has heard and seen the horror stories of the Century WASR rifles. I would think that for being the rifle they no doubt sell the most of, and being the most likely rifle people will associate with their name that they would put just a bit more care into building them.

Don't get me wrong I hope Century put everything they had into the C39. I hope they made it the best possible AK platform rifle they could and I hope they are trying to change the reputation the WASR has earned them. I would love to see (and maybe own) a successful 100% US made AK. I just want to know that what I am paying for is the best I can possibly get for my money. And right now I feel my Bulgarian made Arsenals, a SAM7-SF84 and an SLR-107, are the best I could've bought for my money.

I know a guy that owns this very gun. Nice piece. If I can find one as reasonable as the price he paid, it will be my first AK.

 

[palerider0485]

im not surprised, ill put alot of rounds threw ak's and rearly see malfunctions, that gun did hang up once in the test which he said was a mag failure. if i get a ak ill be looken for one of those.

They already do.

Theres a reason its a great rifle........Century didn't build the 1960s. An SAR-1 is the only decent rifle that ive had from Century and it ran & ran. But hell, I don't think they built those either right?

 

[Fordtough25]

Two of my brother's have wasr's and they haven't had a problem yet! There are bad ones from Century for sure, but most aren't that bad.
