    Century Arms is well known for its very very poor quality control. I would personally pass on anything made by Century.

    There are good reviews out there on this. Atlantic Firearms says that they have sold MANY, and say that they have had good experience with them. They also state that QC has very good for the past several years on CAI guns.

    The receiver is a machined block of solid aluminum. Seems nice. Made in the USA.....

    I watched some YT video on it. Guy put it through a 1000 round "torture" test and I think the hand guard and or rail failed due to heat. No malfunctions from what I can remember. Seems like a nice rifle for the price.
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    My experience with anything century has been poor at best.

    Pick up an arsenal. Some say an AK is an AK, but quality is where it's at...... after all, we know not ALL AR's are made equally.

    Arsenals are just converted Saigas. Buy a Saiga and a conversion kit from Carolina Shooters Supply and save yourself a couple hundred bucks.

    Century FAILS at assembly of HK style rollerblocks. DO NOT purchase their pitiful attempts at these weapons.

    That said...I've owned a CA WASR and Golani...both were crude, but reliable. Some minor work and they were fine guns. Definitely needed new finishes...

    Some of my buddies have owned CA AK variants and FALs...all have been fine shooters.

    In most cases, handle or shoot a CA rifle before purchase as the quality can be sketchy.

    Not even close.

    SGL series are, but they're properly converted.

    However the more popular SLR series are factory Bulgarian rifles and FAR superior to a US made AK. Also a factory rifle with a folding polymer stock is well worth it.
