So I just recently acquired my first AK pattern. It's a Century Arms stamped AKMS. It looks like it was a Polish parts kit. I've done a lot of research on AKs over the last couple years. So I had some idea of what to look for, however, it's hard to know exactly what you have with these rifles. Specific or detailed information can be very hard to find.
I was wondering if anyone else had this same Century stamped rifle, and how it's preformed for you. Mine looks solid; no obvious FSB/Gas block cant, tight mag fit, solid rivets. Only the trunnion looks a bit worn. Also when I charge my bolt back and release it slowly it seems my bolt is catching on the hammer, and gets hung up. It looks to me like that is in the design, but I'm not sure if that is normal or not. It works fine when I charge it normally though so I'm not too worried.
Also I wanted to know if I call Century Arms with my serial number can they tell me who manufactured the specific parts or at least where they got them. I just want to know what's on my gun so I can assess the quality of specific parts.
I know I'm getting too analytical about it, but I got lots of time on my hands lol. So if you guys have any information I'd definitely appreciate it. Also need grats for first post on INGO :-)
