Kind of intersting, made with a combination of surplus and new parts IIRC. Has a picatinny rail for scope mounting, 5/8x24 threads. $699 suggested retail.

I would rather dig in my pockets for a little more lint and get a PTR91.

But, if I was going to get an HK clone I'd got PTR. |

Both have worked flawlessly and have been more accurate than me. SKS was imported, the CETME was assembled in the US. As far as I know, Century contracts their builds out. Sometimes they use monkeys, sometimes gunsmiths. |

Both have worked flawlessly and have been more accurate than me. I have a WASR and and L1A1. The L1A1 had some extraction/ejection issues that I think were because the previous owner unscrewed the gas tube without taking out the retaning pin. I replaced the tube and pin and it runs great. Accuracy is actually pretty good for an L1A1/FAL. The WASR was NIB with Tapco G2. I cleaned it hastily and had a few issues on its first outing. After a proper cleaning, I has been flawless. Accuracy is about what you would expect from an AK. YMMV. |

Those have little to do with Century, they just imported them, opened the maxwells, and added US parts. I've owned MANY Century guns, including a CETME, never got a lemon yet |

If you do pick one up make sure to:
Measure the bolt gap Ensure that everything locks up correctly(that the charging handle assembly has some movement when in battery) Look for canted sights and charging tube Inspect the barrel to make sure the chamber is fluted For those unaware of Century's past screw-ups: They've installed barreled trunnions without properly resetting barrel depth Ground bolt bodies to attempt to remedy headspace issues Used 5.56 bore barrels on 5.45 guns Canted sights, gas blocks, trunnions, charging tubes Weak/improper weld joints Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Not after owning a Century L1a1 , and really not after they canceled my ammo order in 07 told me out of stock, the next day they relisted it at a higher price . Not to mention I know 3 people who have done work for them all say Century tried to screw them a consistent theme

I've rolled the dice with Century a few times, the only ones without issues were the ones they imported and didn't touch.

I'm going to buy one of these. I don't care enough about .308 to want to dump a bunch of money into one but wouldn't mind owning an HK bred battle rifle.

I've never owned anything made by Century. In the video around 5:20, he acknowledges there were problems with some of their CETMEs in the past. I'm torn on purchasing one. |

Since the action is basically identical to the Cetme, I wonder how many of them will have the bolts ground?

I don't know if this is still the case, but their warranty used to start the day the firearm was manufactured, not sold. It could easily sit in a warehouse or shop well beyond the expiration of the warranty, and the buyer wouldn't have a clue until they tried to have their defective firearm worked on under warranty. Fuck 'em.... |

Had it not been for CAI agressively importing and promoting milsurps over the years, I strongly believe that we would have had many fewer units and selections available to us.
I ask the haters this: Who else has brought in more firearms from all over the world? Once Interarms shut down, we needed a new source. Some of their builds have been poor. Most have been fine. But CAI has been a great resource over the past few decades. |

I've had a few century guns, I won't buy another unless is dirt cheap.

Fuck 'em.... They wouldn't be the only company that has ever done that. As much of a crock of shit as that is. The first laptop I ever bought new was an HP pile of shit. At 2 months old the HD died and at 6 months the mainboard took a shit. I called customer service receipt in hand and all the documentation in front of me and after 30 minutes on the phone, "tech" support told me the same thing. The warranty on that laptop was from date of MFR not date of purchase. They then asked me for a CC number for further tech support! WTF! That was the last HP or Compac crap I ever bought. The store I bought it from replaced it with a different brand. Even they thought that was bull shit. HP had a class action over that. Too bad it didn't put them out of business. I tend to keep in mind what I hear about products. To be honest, I have had more issues with my GSG and my Walther P22 than I have ever had with Century products. YMMV |

I think the guy in the video needs more shit attached to the front of him.

Meh, still too expensive to dissuade me from just building another AR.
|

when they first had those cetmes for sale,I got one,would not work.
sent it back,came back working,now it just sits in the rack. can`t get rid of it. |

Awesome
Century makes the market competitive.. I love my cetme |

PTRs are less than $300 more and very good guns. If you can't afford $300 more, you can't afford to shoot much .308 anyway.

Also, instead of the poor-ass CAI C-93 spend a little more and get the Vector Arms V-93 from Atlantic Arms. You then won't have to play the bolt/headspacing mystery game with the shitty C-93 CAI rifle. The Vector Arms V-93 will be in spec. |

If CAI farms the build out (like they're been doing allot recently) it will probably be good. If it's in house...
