Has anyone on here handled one of those Century Arms Centurion 39, AKs yet? I want to buy one, seeing that it's milled and the whole, "Made in the USA" thing. I've seen'em around $800, and for a milled receiver, we all know that's a pretty good deal! Since they've been out, I haven't seen any at the gunshows.

Wouldn't touch one.

If you want a milled AK (Can't imagine why) there are better sources. These are not proven and, considering the record, I would not want to invest that kind of money in one!

I dont know why anybody would want a milled ak either, nor would i consider something made by century. Their track record is worse than most politicians.

If you want a really nice ak type weapon check out the vz-58

If you want an actual ak, pick up a pre ban norinco or polytech

Have you checked out these?

There is a review of the Centurion 39 in the latest American Rifleman. I just received it yesterday.

Actually, Mikey, that's what made me type this up on the forum. I was curious if any of you gentlemen had handled the rifle yet, or owned one. As far as AKs, go, I know what's good and what isn't with most of them. I, also, know the differences between a milled and a stamped receiver. Norinco and Polytech are great AKs, but very costly. I've always been on the look out at the shows for a really good condition Polytech Legend AK. With all that said, that wasn't the point of this posting! Also, and I know off topic still..but I've owned a couple of different "put together" rifles from Century Arms. None, I repeat, none, of them had problems. I owned a SAR-1 and a Yugo M70 underfold, recently. Both ran like champs.

Same with me. I had one Century CETME that would not eject, sent it back to them and they corrected it and I put many rounds through it. I have probably purchased 50+ guns from Century and that was the only problem I had. I have not seen or handled the C39 so I can't give my impression of that particular AK.
