Want.

the C39v2 lacks a bayonet lug and cleaning rod. However, this allows it to adhere to California laws,

California can screw itself.

Marry this receiver to the high-quality wooden forend furniture and Warsaw-length stock, finish the receiver and barrel inside and out in black nitrite, and you have one classy-looking rifle!

Pretty is as pretty does. Can it survive the beating and abuse the old Soviet AKs are reputed to take?

I still have a hard time trusting Century Arms.

Lol.
Accuracy and AK in the same sentence.

Nitride. With a "d".

Nitrite is for curing bacon.

Nitride is for passivating metal surfaces.

The C39vw isn’t a true Type 3 but its a decent knockoff. A few things I don’t like, missing bayonet lugs, no cleaning rod, and the lightening cuts are all wrong. The barrels are Green Mountain and actually pretty decent, the receiver milling is done actually otherwise good save for those side cuts. I believe the FSB and gas block are cast. If I were in the market for a USA AK i’d probably look at DDI or Definitive Arms. DDI will be offering a true hammer forged 4150 milled type 3 receiver and the lightening cuts look better. This is not a hate Century reply though, Century does contract out some of their builds to reputable builders...their M70Ab2’s are solid builds. I’d avoid the RAS47 and any I.O product.

Are there any recorded instances of a crime being committed with cleaning rod or bayonet lug?

Kalishnikov USA is also offering “made in USA” rifles. Been checking out the US132K and US132F1 models.

Anybody have an opinion on these? Can’t seem to find reviews.
