This a Century Int. Polish Tantal in 5.45x39.
Yep, Century.
When I got it, I knew nothing of Century’s reputation. After I bought it, I found all the stories how bad these were and went on figuring out what I actually got. For those who don’t know, Century AK74 are considered bad due to out-of-spec barrels that are
- unreliable
- inaccurate
- cause ammo to keyhole
- have tight chambers.
Of these, one turned out true – tight chamber. It takes a healthy rack of bolt to clear live round after chamber heats up. Besides that, it has been 100% reliable over 700 rounds, no keyholing out to 100 yards even after three mag dumps, and it is very accurate.
No corrosive ammo has been shot through it.
Rifle comes with 7 magazines, 2 polymer stock and 5 used metal mags. Metal ones have worn out finish (bought that way) and with very tight fit to a magwell, but functional enough for range use.
Sling is a YVK Mod0 - pretty useless, experimentation with two stock AK slings. I have a mildly used padded LaRue sling (VTAC), green I believe, which I can include for extra $50.
Also included stock Tantal bipod - that caused those scratches you can see on the brake.
Those who are familiar with Tantals will notice that OEM wire stock was replaced with a fixed Warsaw Pact stock so you can actually get a cheek weld.
Price is $500 shipped.
Trades:
- SCAR-H mags
- HK P30 mags
- factory Barnes TSX 0.308 loads
P.S. I have 3 sealed cans of corrosive 5.45x39 ammo, 1080 rounds per can, that I bought in case of shortages. I can sell it too for a reasonable price if we can figure out shipping aspect.
