Century isn't all that bad if it has a good barrel. Just remember anything by century is a "project gun" and some assembly will be required before you can expect it to be anything special.
I've had good luck in general with century, I think the people who don't, don't realize that the guns really need a lot of polishing, deburing and general break in.
My PSL's bolt would get stuck to the rear about every other shot out of the box. After some dremel work it now has the smoothest action of any gun I own.
