Thank you for the heads up. Pinning your comment.

Awesome. Thank you. Great comparison video!

Untreated barrel? Why though? Century acts like they're getting their shit together, but I guess not.

He said chrome lined. That's treated.

@@chad_8313 no one shoots corrosive 7.62x39 anymore so who cares

Facts! And Same with some Taurus firearms… people always talk crap about them but they are doing pretty good now!

How many rounds have you put Thru it and how many malfunctions ?

@@oooooo6308 thus far I've only put roughly 500 rounds through it. No malfunctions. Pretty good quality ak.

@@reaperactualgaming3075Same here.. bought a VSKA Ak yesterday, have already put few hundred rounds through it and not one problem/malfunction so far! Kinda hard to beat a Ak but I know alot of AR15 guys will beg to differ but everyone is entitled to their own opinion as that was mine. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!💯🎄🎅🇺🇲

I got one, was hoping for a Arsenal but AKs are very hard to find. Thanks to shotgun joe

@@FullNelson007 hey man I just come across your post on the VSKA have you had any problems with it ?

Has it blown up yet or still going strong?

@@xxbabyklutchxx guaranteed you’ve never owned anything by century 😂 mfs hear one horror story and believe every manufactured weapon has the same faults. Just gamble and hope you get a good one lmaooo

@@GhostRiley.300Blk what?

Has it succumbed to the level of the fukushima disaster yet or still going strong?

@@Mantic0405 you guys just hate that the vska runs better for cheaper cry about it

I just bought a VSKA (June 2022) and first time I shot it it had 3 failure to feeds, but I was trying a lot of different mags and ammo so I cannot say it was the VSKA. After doing more research I wish I would have bought the Zustava ZPAPM70 but maybe I will get nit anyway. LOL

@Bobby b thx ill check that out I think you just saved me some hassle

I think part of that is because you bought the old 10/63 like I did, canted sights and all. Those were built off used surplus parts. I have an NPAP that was built stateside from surplus parts from the same time period. It's actually better than the new imports

Me either, I hope it works and doesn't blow up in Robs hands

If they put a scope mount on It I will probably pick one up regardless of what he has to say about it.

@Teknopower2040 funny. Nobody is paying that for any Russian fighting rifle.

@Teknopower2040 Yeah, but look that the Russians are making an AR and selling at the high end of the AR market. We are trying to put together an AK and trying to have it in the price of the low end of the AK market (Entry-level). If these US builders would build an AK at a price of high end, then it would function.

Two failed in Yeagers hands at about 1500 rounds.

You havent been into ak's very long with an opinion like that...

I would be careful pointing fingers. While Chad’s phrasing might be a touch dramatic, his fundamental opinion is inarguable, and reflects an accurate understanding of AK history. The WASR is a proven infantry rifle which has been accepted for military service. The Cugir factory in Romania was trained in AKM production by the Soviets, and they have demonstrated for more than 50 years that they understand how to build critical AK components correctly. They will never be the gold (or even silver) standard of the AK family, but their is no question that they are solid AKs, and are almost always good for tens of thousands of rounds. Century has tried to domestically produce AKs for about a decade. Their rifles (C39 & RAS47) have an abysmal reputation for reliability, and even the best examples typically reveal abnormal wear and mechanical breakdown between 2,500 to 7,500 rounds. I am crossing my fingers that the VSKA is good, but it has a big hill to climb before it could earn it way into the same category as a proven Cold War infantry rifle like the WASR.

Ryan Taylor I’ve been into to AKs for a while and I agree with him. Guns need to be field tested over decades war factory>century arms

Watch Rob Skis video (Ak Operators Union) on the VSKA... Then tell me what you think..

Buying a u.s. made ak is like buying a refurbished Playstation 3 from autozone

Congratulations! Let us know in a follow up comment how she's been running for you thus far & if you have had any problems with the rifle

Where’d you pick it up?

The reason VSKA use more metal is because those parts are casted not forged like WASR. No doubt much inferior quality.

The receiver steel on the vska is 1.5 mm thick like a zpap m70. The wasr is only 1 mm thick. That adds weight and strength.

Psak gen 3 have forged trunnions now

@@chupacabra4897 I know. I've been keeping an eye on their AK line since gen2. Loving what they are doing with gen3-5 with the switch to forged parts and even offering FN CHF barrels and lots of different configurations. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a few.

@@thedefinitive6296 they have the gen 3 for $599.00 right now blem olive green furniture

@@chupacabra4897 I just bought a Gen 3 with the polymer furniture. I can’t wait to get it

@@oneofmanyte3321 yeah you'll probably need to replace the grip I got a us palm but there's other ones the stock and grip are pretty cheap I got a sling from eBay for $7 and a couple of 30 round magazines they are good rifles

Thanks Santa

Your everywhere

The ones that bad mouth have never even seen a VSKA or a Wasr just trolls.

MattV2099: Guns & Food thanks, brah

Where you been Matt 👀

@@MarksmanTV it concerns me wasr 10 only has 1 year warranty not good .

@@steveo1240 already do. my only complaint is the mag well, as my included pmag takes some jimmying to insert properly, and has got stuck without the front lip being hooked more than once.

How much did you sell it for? I want to sell mine

akwavy x $525, which is pretty damn good considering I got it brand new for $560

SirBilliam I’m glad I talked to you before selling it for $300 at my local pawn shop!

akwavy x I sold it on armslist in literally 2 days with an initial price of $550. Try gunbroker as well, although it costs money. Always meet up at a local police station if it’s allowed when using armslist.

How much u pay ?

@@arshard5974 At the time 600.00 today they are 999.00 ! But that's America isn't it.

Just because it’s military made doesn’t make it good or better

Ash Williams kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zq6Fl7KHvqe2Yp8.html Two rifles failed around 1,500 rounds.

@@Mrgone454 That was staged

I agree

Yes love my GP WASR

Yep

I love the look as well, I’m stuck comparing different options. I like the BFT 47 also made by century arms. Wonder how that one shoots!

I seen a bft I thought for sure was painted 3 different times with 3 different paints and it was brand new lol. That Brownells is some good paint as long as you let it cure for 4 or 5 days real good. The flat matches Glock black perfect.

@@ashton.minjarez2410 Good, and well built!

I think they do you are gonna have to call customer support to check

I believe the problem with the cheap wood that comes with the wasr is that it will break under recoil in time. Not if but when, you might as well just get a surplus stock and get an objectively prettier and much more durable stock.

Yes but the stock brakes loose after 1- 50 Rounds. you buy this rifle knowing you have to change the furniture which adds another $170 to the tag. Keep in mind.

scottb8907 it is self cleaning and never needs cleaned Lol

Not everybody has 1400 $ bud laying around

@@rcardohernandez8490 this. Aks are grossly overpriced. I know guys in Switzerland that laugh at us paying 1000$ for aks. Century and arsenal are really just raping the consumer . Wasrs should be around 5 Bill's and arsenals should be around 7

What about Arsenal's finish flaking off? Has that been fixed by Arsenal?

@@slavphil7532 yes they are, stupid import laws and bans are the root cause of that, a battle rifle should not be that expensive, Norincos, Veprs, Saigas all those upper end ones are just too expensive

@@slavphil7532 yet they aren't so quit your whining about something that won't happen. You spend $1,000 or more on a quality AK that lasts a lifetime and it's quite worth it. How many other mechanical or electronic devices do you have to buy multiple times in your lifetime and you end up spending more

Maybe it was a program with the objective of flooding enemy countries with shit weapons that will crap out before they can be put to real use.

@@thegreenman2030 Well they did it in vietnam.

Lmao right! Exactly what I was thinking.

Don't be so sure about the US using a US made AK by Century. They asked Alan Sheppard what his thoughts were when he was sitting in the rocket right before he blasted off to be the first American in space. He replied, "I kept thinking.....this thing was made by the lowest bidder"

Between these rifles and spiked ammo, we can watch the enemy grenade themselves shooting at us. Makes sense in that light.

Do u still own the vska? Thinking bout buying one for 619. The other wasr is going for 750 here

kygent508 I have a 2015 production WASR and it is great. I have a ton of rounds through it and have had zero problems.

cool

I have a 2018 build and have had Zero problems thus far with the Wasr, worth the money if you're thinking about picking one up. goes bang every time

Did you pick a MIGHTY wasr up ?

Ultimak solves that

Exactly it’s a marketing scam lol.

@@KB-kw8ni I mean, it obviously wasn't accepted so it's not necessarily a plus in their favor.

When we want to use AK's to supply Foreign Securiry Forces we buy surplus Kalshnikovs from former Combloc countries now in NATO. In now way shape or form would we waste money on American made AKs and then spend even more money on logistics to get them to a country that already has easy access to surplus AK weapons.

BearJew05 I think he was referring to the US using the VSKA, not the US giving the VSKA to other countries

I did the same due to rob ski 's recommendation. I love my wasr 10.

Is the century RH-10 wasr what you guys are talking about? I'm looking for my first ak, price is at 899 but you gotta do what you gotta do

@@tomothybahamothy Yeah that's the one. The price on it hasn't gone up since I bought mine over a year ago. Now, with this last year of craziness, virtually all firearms prices are going up. If you in the position to do so, I would recommend going forward with getting it, pricing are only going to get worse. It's a good quality and you can easily get upgrade parts when they're available. I got my upgrades based upon what Rob Ski did for his. He has a video on it that he did a while back.

@@Jazzman-bj9fq thanks for the info!

@@tomothybahamothy Sure bro

Is that good or bad the barrel being 5150 ???? I've heard it's very good , curious????

Montana. me and my friends always buy guns

Virginia. We got plenty !

California to Connecticut to Georgia. Gun bliss finally achieved. Walked in to the gun store, walked out 20 minutes later with a WASR 10. Got a CCW in less than two weeks.

Find a good second hand in a State that does and pay cash. 'Nuff said.

Move to Texas bro

I hope you never got the c39v2. Mine literally died at 300 rounds and sent it in to Centuary. It was broken beyond repair and they sent me the VSKA.

Very good

Wasr has a forged trunnions front and rear
