Just saying

Century Arms Issues Limited Recall for BFT47
https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2022/05/11/century-arms-recall-bft47/

AK Operators Union has been reporting serious issues like soft locking trunnions, bad rivets on the trunnions, and soft/chipping bolts for a while on Century built AKs. Not sure if if recall has anything to with those issues though

Century does still import the Romanian WASR rifles.  I have heard those are good.  Not Century built though.

Yeah, WASRs are supposed be fine.

Anything actually made by century... not so much.

Century Firearms -- firearms for when you can't even begin to care.

I have a century CETME that was actually built pretty well.  It's been good to me.  But you better believe that I went over it with a fine tooth comb when I got it.

For the right price on the right gun I'd buy a century build, but I'd factor in my time and the parts cost to fix it.
