Rob, please review one of the Blackheart AKs with Krink-style top cover at Atlantic Firearms.
It looks cool, but I would like to see it drop-tested and see if it holds zero. I know you and Paul will run it through the ringer and work out the issues, if it has any.
-
Great video, it looks like the rifle is doing real good. I’m mixing in a Russian Izhevsk 91/30 1943 Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54R for some bolt action training. So, AKM break time for a few weeks. Going back out to the 1,000 yd range. Thank’s AKOU & best to all.
-
Have been holding out hope, but I’m losing my enthusiasm.
The wear on the rail, at the front…I dunno, man.
Over my, own, AKs I’ve never seen that; in your videos, I’ve never seen that.
Scratches, dings, dents…a bit of banged over metal, no problem. Locking lugs chipping a rail to pieces, no thanks. -
The rail chip in the right side of the rail …. I’ve seen this movie before on the “Texas Gun Smith ” C39V2 review
video in 2015 or 2016 …. this was disturbing to this Gun Smith , and it should be disturbing to anyone wanting
to purchase a C39V2 .
Getting to the obviously ” soft bolt lugs ” , this trick or treat gun ” may ” or “may not ” be safe to shoot after
5000 rounds but I would not hold my breath …. looks like Century may need to start forging the receivers as
well as the bolts and carriers . -
Can’t wait to see what these locking lugs look like after the next ” test episode ” …. Hector ! – what have you been
smoking ?? ( It looks like the rifle is doing real good ! ) . Perhaps I misread you and you were mocking the results .
With the new Russian sling , I have about $860 in my walnut stock C39v2 S.H.T.F. rifle …. makes me kind of mad !
This cosmetically beautiful rifle fooled me , but than again , that is what the turds at Century Arms designed it to
do …. to fool the buyer ! I am looking at a significant loss here , if I decide to get rid of it …. and all because some turd , over at Century , decided to squeeze a few more dollars out of the buyer , instead of going with
forged critical parts …. I think that a Class Action Lawsuit would be ” just the thing ” to change their behavior ! -
Yeah, hahahaha. Century has a 1 yr warranty; if it breaks afterwards, parts gun. That’s the game, consumers pay more for less, replacement parts cost. That was Obama’s economic stimulus package. Anyway, I read somewhere that, the U.S sold WASR’s to the Iraq Army for like $60-$85 each, for their defense ofcourse. Me, I got a plain vanilla M16 carry handle, with open sights, no optics & a nice morning wakeup call.
Worth= How much does it cost in dollars? A tangible “x” amount.
Value= Is it quality or does it have sentimental value to a person? -
Hector , the real game is that 90% of these guns sold never even get fired and Century knows this …. the token
1 year warranty is window dressing to these shysters ! …. my personal opinion is that Brother Robski has been
” too gracious ” in his videos when it comes to pointing out the parts of this rifle that haven’t broken “yet ” .
I am not forgetting the used C39V2 rifle that I examined at a Gun Show , with only 600 rounds fired …. the damn
thing had a stress crack on the bolt lug ( improper heat treat ) …. we will probably never even actually know how
many of these cluster fucks are even out there …. but , that is the ” real game ” that Century plays …. a game
that they will never have to answer for !-
Standard number one is 5,000 rds for the 1947-1959 designs. In translation, the European WASR Agreement says that, civil AK-47’s and AKM ‘s can never be built to MILSPEC standards again. This is the first fact that needs to be understood. Even if a U.S buyer wants a Hungarian, WASR or NPAP, the parts come from defective parts bins and are for specific sport builds only. That is all.
You said, ” … thing had a stress crack on the bolt lug ( improper heat treat ) …. we will probably never even actually know how.” This is my answer to that: actually, we will know because the carrier has the letter “x” lightly inscribed twice, most notable on the side of the well of the carrier. Century also does it for spare & replacement parts. They will inscribe “C39, RAS, ect.”
The AK’s are still more reliable than AR-15’s, even based on failures alone. AR-15’s use aluminum & plastic receivers, which is ridiculous. That is as cheap & plastic as it gets.
Century AK’s don’t break at 600 rounds, sorry bud. That is just hearsay, which doesn’t carry weight. Check your mag’s cutout – perfect. Any missing metals is not knowing what the trunnion is supposed to look like. How did you check the stress crack? Where you carrying a -400 nanometer (nm) ultraviolet (UV) light beam, with you? I don’t believe you and think that you are tripping out.
School will teach you to replace curse words, with intelligence – schooling.
-
I had a century arms N-Pap and got rid of it after 300 rounds. The carrier was wearing out so bad that I wasn’t about to push it to 600 rounds. It was a garbage rifle and I’m very glad that I got rid of it.
-

I noticed that FFL Dealer reviews for both the RAS 47 and C39V2 rifles are ” over the top again ” .
This time , there is a claim of 4 1/2 star reviews that are almost hilarious …. one such ” satisfied buyer ” claimed
that he has fired 6000 rounds in his C39V2 and has yet to see any wear on the bolt and carrier .
Another guy , with 600 rounds fired , makes about the same claim and slams anyone who is a Century Arms
Hater .
These are some of the ” best ” Fractured Fairy Tales ” I have seen ” to date ” !
These Internet Dealers really must be hurting…. they should have never got involved with these ” trick or treat ”
rifles , in the first place !-
10’s of thousands of satisfied customers and counting… They keep selling and people keep buying for a reason. I have a C39 and C39v2, plus a few other AK pattern rifles. I have put well over 5000 rounds through both rifles and have never had a single issue and my paint still looks great. I have replaced the wood furniture on them as I don’t care for wood on my firearms so I can’t comment on how it does or does not hold up. Never owned a RAS and can’t comment on the durability of those either… What I can say is this… At the $600 price point you can’t beat a C39v2 PERIOD! I can buy 1 rifle, put a mount, scope, rail, and whatever else I want, AND replace a bolt, or whatever, here or there as needed for less than the cost of 1 WAAAAAY overpriced Arsenal build (I have an SGL-31 which I love dearly but I would NEVER spend that kind of money for an AK pattern rifle again except in the case of a Vepr FM if I could find one). AND if I have to scrap out a C39v2, I can buy a 2nd one and STILL be way way ahead of the game!

Sorry Hector , I know a stress crack when I see one …. I put 30 years in at a Steel Mill that produced Axle Grade
Cast Steel …. When I worked at the Chem Lab , stress testing steel ,I was trained to identify what stress cracks
look , and yes , feel like …. what I detected was a stress crack – and it was large enough to alarm even the most
” intelligent imbecile ” …. believe it or not !
What in the world is the European WASR Agreement ? perhaps Brother Robski can enlighten us on this important
Agreement ! …. I am not accusing anyone of spreading ” Fractured Fairy Tales ” , I just need to know if Century
Arms was possibly forced to use soft cast steel in my C39V2 …. who out there can answer this ? -
Rob what stock adapter are you using for this setup?
-
Is Rob deployed or on assignment? Not much activity on AKOU recently.
-
Either or, not sure which. He said he’d be back at the end of the year.
-
-
Well fellas , it has been confirmed that ” The International Wasar Agreement ” , as I expected , is just another
” Fractured Fairy Tale ” …. isn’t that right Hector ! .
What I did find out was : Unlike the soft wood now being found on the 2017 C39v2 rifles , the earlier walnut
rifles have the better ( more robust ) wood …. obviously a cost cutting measure to protect fat profits , at the
expense of the buyer …. if you see one of these ” light colored , glorified balsa wood C39v2’s – run , don’t
walk to the next corner !
Evidence is also mounting that some of these C39v2 rifle batches actually have decent metallurgy , as it
relates to the ” soft bolt anomaly ” we keep hearing about …. a ” crap shoot ” that no buyer should ever
want to get involved in !
