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. |

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 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.

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. |

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 |

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.
