Thanks!

So, gunsmiths??........ I'm sure any gunsmith could order tools and do the work, but do we know anybody who specifically does or is more familiar with AKs?

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.

Tacticalassault on here has some experience with AKs. What is wrong with yours?

It keyholes. One of the old Century builds where they used wrong barrel. I can still hit my targets, but its time to get it fixed.

I am not sure. I haven't read a thread yet where century took care of anyone. 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.

Yes they did. As i recall they were making good on them, my first call would be to them to see if they will fix it for Free.
