So I was watching Ted Nugent's hunting show on Comcast cable lastnight. During one segments he was showing off a few different AK-47s and talking about them being his favorite rifle. Well, what really caught me off guard was when I started talking about the great quality of Century Arms International. If memory serves me, doens't alteast half or better of AR15.com refer to them as being drunken monkeys? They are called the angry beavers. |

I believe he said that the Czech Vz-58 was his "favorite AK". Other then sharing the same caliber 7.62 x 39 and some similaries in appearance the VZ-58 doesn't contain one interchangeable part with an AK-47. Not even the magazine.

They are hit and miss. Sometimes you get a decent operating (but usually ugly) gun, other times they are ten pounds of fucked up in a five pound bag. You have to examine them yourself before purchase and know about what you are buying. Shop smart, shop S-Mart. |

I bought mine back in Dec. after I got my yearly bonus. The day I bought mine, Dance's Sporting Goods, had 2 Century ARs and 2 from Para-Ordinace. I went with the Century because it was only $700 and the Paras were between $2000 and $3000. |

My bro has a WASR that has been trouble free (other then a canted front sight). I have been keeping an eye on pricing of them, now that it is dropping back to sane levels, I may pick one up.
It is an AK, sights are optional anyway....

As a serious bowhunter and firearms owner, I never miss an episode of Ted's "Spirit of the Wild" television show on Tuesday nights on the Outdoor Channel.
But, I've got to admit that I cringe every time he breaks out some cheap AK variant that looks like it's been Tapco-ized. With his kind of money, he could afford to buy quality firearms, especially AK's that don't have AR-15 stocks on 'em.

Century can make decent stuff but they can also put together thousands of rifles with crooked sights and not care. That is the type of thing that gives them the drunken monkey reputation. You just have to pay attention to what you are buying. Of course it wouldn't suprise me if Centry gave Ted a few firearms so he could talk about them. They would have checked those firearms over first.

I love my Century AKs. An SAR-1 and Yugo M70AB2... However, neither were built at Century. SAR series were built at the Cugir plant in Romania, the same plant that makes the Romanian military rifles. And the Yugo is a kit gun, but Century farmed them out to have built. FWIW Century Yugos are some of the best mid range AKs on the market IMO...

Ted Nugent went broke investing in things like emu farms, lived in his own excrement to avoid military service, and adopted a child so he could fuck her.
