I was looking at one of these a guy I know is selling. I havent wanted a gun just to want one for a long time. It doesnt fit my real gun requirements, and Ive never been good at being a "collector", but I kinda want it.
any info here?
is it another Century POS or is it a decent build like their Yugo AK's they farmed out?
I dont think Id actually buy it, but it has peeked my curiosity about it.
Century “C93” 5.56 HK93/HK33-clone
These Century C93’s started life as Malaysian HK33’s, and Century bought all the trade-up mil-surps and de-milled these hardly-used rifles into parts sets.
These HK parts sets were then re-built in the USA to "922-specs" using new Rim Country Mfg fluted-chamber nitrided barrels in the CORRECT HK33 contours, on a USA-made recvr with some USA-made FCG parts.
This C93 is one of the earliest builds, done on a Special Weapons recvr with 3-digit S/N, (C9300 3xx) and finished in black park. The bolt-group is original, all numbers-matching.
Rifle has a mil-surp leather G3 sling, the typical Century beater-bayo from an HK33, 2 mil-surp HK33 40rd mags, 1 barely-used 30rd Turkish MKE HK33 poly mag, and - - 2 original 25rd HK33/93 mags (rare as frog fur) that were never even loaded.
Plus; Includes a “nearly new” S-U-O (S-E-F) poly pistol grip trigger housing that needs clipped/pinned to fit on the rifle. (Lower is not in the picture.)
This is one of the sweetest shooting 5.56 rifles on the planet; easily as nice as a 20” AR but in a meaner-looking "MP44-looking" package.
