Yeah . . . I don't know.
CaR Firearms in Kent is always highly recommended for many different kinds of work, but I don't personally know how much AK work they do. They would be my first call, though.

Did Century ever make good on those? Will they fix it for you?

I guess it's worth it to give them a call and see what they say, although I've had it for so long, I doubt they would. I'll post up with what they respond.

Cool. Yeah, I know if the issue from other internet posts, but I don't know if they've been reworking them or not. But yeah, it's worth a call -- if they will, then it will probably be free as I expect they'll send you a shipping label as well.
I had to send an AK back to them (different issue), and they were pretty good about it.
