Century tackled these ergnomic issues with an very comfortable ergonomic polymer grip and 1” extended polymer buttstock length.
The original AK-47’s typical blocky wood stocks were serviceable but are about as ergonomic as 2x4s and the wood buttstocks were about an inch shy of fitting an average American stature. Century Arms has made a reputation for quality AKs and the American Centurion appears to be made at even a higher grade than their other AK-47s in the line that I have sampled. Definitely a far cry from the garage sale parts assembled quality and fit of most AK-47s. The Century Arms Centurion Sporter is a giant leap for AK owners with one of the most well crafted and fit AK-47 I have yet to handle. Usually this slop manifests itself in a fit often tuned by pliers. The only beauty in the beast is that the design permits, shall we say, a large margin of error is manufacturing tolerances without affecting reliability. Century Arms must have heard my thoughts and developed an upgraded, updated, affordable, and 100% American Made AK-47.ĪK-47 are generally known for reliability but looks. Of course US made AK-47s are not uncommon however they typically offered little more than cheap imports. Continuing my search for an American made AK-47 seemed like the better option for a gun which may be called into service as a defensive gun.

Then of course if you buy an imported AK-47 you also have worry to assure you are compliant with the magic ten imported parts of the ambiguous Title 18 Chapter 44 Section 922R code for imported firearms. They also lacked and omitted some obvious modern refinements which could have made the AK more comfortable and easier to shoot and accessorize as needed. “Fit and Finish” of many affordable AK-47s presented to me over the years have also lacked the quality to gain my attention. A friend had a $99 AK and although 100% reliable, it was a total piece of crap from a craftsmanship perspective and felt like something made from junkyard parts. I wanted an AK-47 but there were a few details holding me back such fit and finish. During the early 1990s shower of $99 Chinese AK-47s I decided to pass when they hit the shelves at my local dealer.
