[ARCHIVED THREAD] - M53 Beltfed from Century

Posted: 12/15/2007 10:24:23 AM EDT

Anyone else see Century's ad in the Jan. Small Arms Review?
Top left corner it says "M53 Belt Fed Semi-Auto Rifle, Cal. 8mm" with a picture of what appears to be a MG42.
Has anyone handled one of these. And yes I know it's from Century, so it's probably a POS.
Just curious.

I really wanted the Century Galil, but after reading aobut the crap shoot with their builds I thought it would be better to pass. Now make that a Belt fed and I would RUN away.

I'd go Vector RPD, at least you know they'll take care of ya.

Truthfully, it is a shame that Century is destroying good parts to make their crappy builds.

I wish the parts could be used by better builders to make nice guns.

They're built using Yugoslavian M53 (their version of the MG42) parts kits and sell for approx $2800.
