Thought you guys might find this interesting or enlightening.

I quickly glanced on YouTube, but didn't see the followup to this. Do you know if this rifle was also keyholing? I did see this was from January this year, so I am assuming he has either had it fixed or written it off by now.

The Tantals were notorious for key holing when they first came out on the market. Some had 5.56/.223 barrel instead of the 5.45x39mm ones.

My dad has one with a crooked rear sight. I just can't imagine how they screw up AK builds so badly unless they are total dumbasses or just don't care.

Unfortunately they are the only people making AK bullpups right now, which I really want. I'll probably buy one and cross my fingers.

i had a similar experiance with the bulgarian ak74's they sell. It had a bad barrel and i couldnt hit paper at 50 yds. Heres the thread http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/...tury-arms-bulgarian-ak74-barrel-problems.html

Century has a bad reputation for poor quality control, and Sturmgewher is just telling it like it is. I like his videos, and subscribe to his YouTube Channel (Military Arms)...

Yep, he's a "well-known" Century gunsmith...

I always wondered what those parts were- couldn't make them out until now. Looks like a future ground-bolt CETME in the making!

I have one of their bulgy ak 74's, so far it shoots straight and functions 99% properly. The only problem it has is when you pull the bolt back and hold it then let go it will stick other than that it's a good rifle and accurate, Furthest I've shot is 150 yards made 23 out of 30 rounds on target.
