Don't we all!
I want all the guns that he used ;)
YEA! i have plenty of guns, but no back yard range!! that would be awesome
+Louie H Yup--I don't care at all for that Southern horrible 'Humidity' but I would be happy to deal with it if I had that "Compound!"
DR Dan I believe it--Here in 'The Show Me State' it gets ridiculously humid most of the Summer. That said, I can't imagine being where you are in the Southern Gulf Region as it must be like freaking hot-soup Summer-time.
I think this guy might be the Bob Ross of Firearms.
he is

"It seems like a decent rifle...if you are looking for an AK. And if you don't have an AK...why are you NOT looking for one?"
-- Hickok45
Words of wisdom!
portprophecy Truth! That really touched my soul. I've got nothing against the M4 style rifles, AR15s etc but AK has a reputation in a way similar to Glocks, and that's dependability. Dependability, and the 300 yard coverage that 7.62x39 covers really drives home to me which rifle I'd rather have on my side of the foxhole.
@@Cloudx7strife not to mention aks are cheap as hell to shoot due to mainly using steelcase ammo.. More power .. Less money.. Ill take it ;)
Another reason I love my sks :D
Is this better than the WASR
@@grumpysquid Depends on your definition of better. Is it better for being milled instead of stamped? Technically yes. But it comes with a slightly raised price. But what the WASR-10 has, is basically being a military rifle, minus the giggle mode. If you're looking for your first AK, get the WASR-10. I personally went with the RAS47 on my 18th birthday, but it's a late production, meaning the issues that everyone talks about have been fixed. But if you're looking for your first AK, get a WASR-10. You won't have to worry about the rifle potentially being an early production and blowing up in your face. But if you want 100% US made, the C39V2 and VSKA are good choices. The VSKA is the successor to the RAS47 and uses S7 steel, which is ridiculously tough. And the C39V2 is milled, so, its literally made from a giant block of steel. C39V2 is milled so that's cool. VSKA is stamped from extremely tough steel so that's cool. But the WASR-10 is essentially a proven military rifle.
A man needs at least one good AK.
Had my C3 V2 for about 9 months now. Put about 600 rounds through it with only one feed issue. Then again, I was shooting steal case trash ammo so.
AKs are supposed to run steel case ammo, not brass. 600 rounds isn't even a start. Most AKs should be able to run 3k round without an issue. Sell that POS and buy a WASR before it blows up in your face, and if you absolutely must keep it, pick up a field gauge.
@@kl3847 Show me one instance of one of these blowing up. Like, for real. I have asked so many people and not one has been able to find a single account of a C39V2 blowing up, and thousands have been sold around the country.
Do Galils have passes?
@@kepofshangri-la8942 a Galil is better than most AKs if it's a legit one. It's the Creme Dela Creme of AKs. That and Valmets.
"And if you don't have an AK, why are you not looking for one?" - Perfect
Jordan Dunn Hell yeah brother in arms. People rave about the AR-15 I like my folding stock AK47 V2. Lol Peace out.
hickok45 has nightmares of accidentally leaving a round in the chamber
As do we all.
"And if you don't have an AK....why are you not looking for one"-Hickok 45
That sold it for me haha
I have the C39V2 with the wood furniture. Over 6k rounds without a SINGLE bobble. I even went 1k between cleanings (I know it isn't much but I'm a serial cleaner!) and it ran like a top. Century is really making them nice nowadays!
BS
Mine runs great as well... not always cleaned after every use, but I'm pretty good about it. Plus, I usually only shoot tulammo fmj or jhp. $8.88usd/40rd. At my local Walmart... this is a true war-pig! SHTF, this will be my go to, along with my sig p938 for a backup.
zs I’ve heard bad reviews about the cast trunnion. Then I hear people having them without a hiccup. How is yours holding up?
ZombieStain65 I’m curious about this too. I just got my hands on one from the pawn store. Only 600 bucks. Disassembled everything looks brand new. Haven’t taken it out yet. Short story I picked it up cuz the price and now I’m seeing crazy mixed reviews..
stephen Lorenz is yours with the wood furniture as well? Wow that price is pretty good. Did they tell you how much rounds went through it with the original owner?
So glad to have this great American as a part of our community. I find it very difficult to tolerate the constant attacks and negative media directed toward firearm ownership. A message of respect, personal responsibility and enjoying these freedoms with the many millions of like minded people in this country is what its all about! Thanks for all you do Hickok your videos are great!
Just opining here... I think one of the reasons that Century included a bolt-hold-open safety is because some firing ranges require the bolts to be open (chamber exposed) prior to firearms on the line being declared safe and shooters allowed to walk down range. At my range, AK's that don't have that feature are required to have their bolts held open with a spent cartridge case or the like...so a built-in hold-open makes this easier. just my 2 cents. Another great video, hickok and John.
+Jeremy Conn Good point.
That's exactly why Jacob Herman mentioned it in a video
+Jeremy Conn The range I go to is like that I simply get an extra round and stick it between the bolt and the receiver.
+Jeremy Conn At least with Romanian aks i heard of the probability to pull back the action, slightly let it forward and then blocking the slide with the hammer pulling the trigger. To release you pull back, therefore cocking the hammer and are good to go again. I Don't know if this works an all aks though.
+hickok45 do you have a link for those sights you were talking about
Dude, your laugh after every shot or so is absolutely hilarious man! You're too entertaining hicko45!
"...I'll start out with a little pot smoking! Haha, yeah, just to get the day started right, how's that?"
-hickok45
I bought a C39 V2 but with wood furniture. I love it! I put the magpul stock, midwest industries quadrail, and a micro red dot on it. shoots fantastic! very accurate for an AK.
One person noted he would like to see Hickok's AK collection I would like to see his entire collection especially his military weapons collection.
There are videos on all of them. :-)
hickok45
Hickok45,
I have the Century Arms AK47 C39V2 with the wooden stock.
This is the same rifle right?
My friend has one of these like in the video.
He says it is fancier than my rifle.
How is it fancier if they are the same thing?
Thank you in advance for answering.
Hey hickok use your bolt carrier to take bring up your gas tube lever. Check out akoperatorsunion's video called AK backyard tips
Ah, another great bedtime story from Hickok45 :{} hahahaha
+ where are the pumpkins?!?'
+Danny N same, watching Hickok right before bed can instill pleasant dreams!
I have had mine for 6 years, put 3,500 rounds through it of steel case wolf and have had zero malfunctions. The gun has no damage and all the parts look pristine still! Century really out performed with this gun. Best purchase Ive made for long term!
Its nice to see the US AK market making decent weapons these days.
However until imports are banned and unable be bought I will not waste one dime on a US made AK.
Not when you can still get factory made Romanian, Polish, Serbian, Bulgarian etc. made AKs.
Why?
John Pifer
Because I'm a purist and if it ain't broke don't fix it. Imports are made in actual AK factory, made by methods and with materials that have been time tested and battle proven.
And because they will retain their resale values better. But mostly because they are the real thing not an American made copy.
If you where gonna buy a Ferrari would you want the one made in Italy or a US made copy ?
No reason for me to buy an American rifle until they finally do succeed in banning AK imports from every country.
+drtrolish It's fine if you want it just because it was made in Eastern Europe. But don't try to say it's better just because it was made over there.
John Pifer
They are better. European made AKs are made in factory's that make military rifles using proper materials. US guns are made using the cheapest material that will work for the commercial market.
The barrels on European made AKs are CHF and made to mil spec. Most US AK makers use cheap button rifled barrels made for commercial sales.
Its not that you can't get as good of an AK here in the states. We have company's that do make them on par, but they cost twice as much as the same European made guns.
No point to buy them just yet.
ideamachineim
That sounds like it sucks.
Hi Hickok, the trick to get the gas tube lever rotated without tools is to use the bolt carrier. The carrier has two slots at the back end which fit over the lever and the long BC gives you a lot of leverage to move the lever. Great vid, take care.
I'v been in the market for my first AK and really wanted a Arsenal Sam7sf, but with the election so close I had to settle for the c39v2.
Chance K. I haven't had any malfunctions with the year I've owned my c39v2
SySTeM4T1c Dude I love the gun. I'v it about a month and it seems to be a great gun!
I’d suggest checking out MACs video with Rob Ski. They found some issue with these guns that can be potentially catastrophic. Both ran around 3k rounds through them. Failed Go / No-Go gauge....
Flambodeus Scones
Damn shame too man. A lot of people spent good money of those rifles.
Flambodeus Scones
I played it safe and went with an Arsenal SAM7SF. Hasn’t done me wrong and shows typical wear and tear. Wish American manufacturers could get it right. Would be nice to snag a milled AK for 800-900 bucks.
My question is this. If the rifle really does become dangerous to fire after a few thousand rounds then why is Century Arms not worried about having their asses handed to them in a civil lawsuit when an out of battery explosion injures/kills a shooter/bystander? Why have we not seen that happen yet? If the rifle is that out of spec and truly dangerous then why hasn't there been a recall, and why is Century Arms immune to accountability? This is a serious inquiry and I'd like to hear from someone who can answer it.
Nobody can answer that. lol because no one has had one blow up on them. You can find AK purist ALLLLLLL day long ranting about how bad anything but a WASR is (and some of that IS valid *COUGH* RAS47 *COUGH*, however, the C39V2 is no slouch. There are even instances of these things passing 12,000 round endurance tests with minimal parts breakages, on average, beating even the M16's endurance stats. The thing is every gun manufacturer has initial issues with their weapons models sometimes. From colt, to glock, you name it. That's why this is a V2. They improved on the issues of the initial C39. Unfortunately, the court of public opinion is locked into the idea that this weapon is the same thing as the very first C39's. Which is dishonest and unfair. I have heard nothing but good things everywhere about this model of AK. AT WORST, you may want to swap the bolt and bolt carrier for a authentic set of like, Polish parts, but even so the out of the box bolts usually last thousands of rounds without issue while still passing head-spacing. Personally, I have put around 1000 rounds through mine without anything other than a mag related failure to feed.
Yep, caught ya smokin that pot again, the Listerine smell gives you away! Nice shooting! :D
You know what Mr. hickok45, you have been my decision maker when it comes to buying guns.. You convinced me to buy my KELTEC KSG with your review on it and I love it. 500+ shells through it and have had no issues whatsoever. This video is also another contributing factor to me buying this weapon, Its sexy, simple and its an AK. Thank you for these videos.
Asking a ak47 to malfunction is like asking how to kill Chuck Norris. It won't happen unless you have a Bruce Lee and unfortunately he is dead.
+PsychoViper Other then the one John broke you mean?
Hey Hickok45 thanks for you support on the 2nd Ammendment and videos that you post, I enjoy the videos and appricate what you do for us "Gun Guys & Gals".
hickok tells people he smokes pot every day
Oh Yeah!
Jon's a pretty lucky dude to get to spend this much time with his dad AND doing this stuff!!
That 7.62 sure gets across the valley in a hurry.
What annoys me is that America finally starts making our own AKs(even if just for civilians) and right away it's "how can we make it look cool so people buy it but cut corners so its cheaper for us".
Cast parts? Really?
This looks like a cool gun but just the fact that they'd make some parts that are detrimental to this gun functioning out of cast steel is just ridiculous.. Some people buy these things for SHTF.. I'd hate for the zombies to attack and my bolt carrier/bolt/spring to break on me when I needed it because century wanted to save some bucks.
the c39 doesnt have any cast parts. the ras 47 does though. since the c39 has a machined reciever the trunion is also a machined part of the reciever, not cast. I wouldn't say the c39 does much sacrificing to the tune of lower price in places where it actuly matters. the only bad thing i caught was the exterior of the reciever doesn't have a super nice finishing pass, though the inside looked very smooth. people complain about the bayo lug but thats really unnessicary, when is a bayo useful anymore lol. they should have had a cleaning rod though.
also the springs in them, i do think, are wolf. good springs. and the carrier problems from the gen 1 gun are fixed, the v2 is miles ahead of the 1st.
That's bs...the bolt carrier is cast and so are the barrels so stfu...
A Jones why couldn't they use surplus parts?
@@akmankalash Because they wouldn't be American made. Think about it! It's a 100% American made AK rifle.
A lot of hate on the ras47 I guess I will find out myself and practice my gun smithing on making it top notch
just pick one of these up this evening. feels and looks good. can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!
Chad Moyer how u like it so far?
From a purely aesthetic view, I thought the stock was very nicely fitted to the rear of the rifle. No gaps of bumps where it meets the receiver. I also think some of the polymer stock/furniture kits look a little cheesy, and that is due to poor fitment, alignment or proportion of furniture much of the time. This one seems nicely streamlined. I agree about the LHBHO on the safety. What's it for really? Looks like a thumb masher if one tried to use it as a bolt release. If it were up to me to tweak this nice looking rifle at all, I would address the top receiver cover, the sights, the safety with LRBHO, and put a regular slant hider on the muzzle. But most of all I wish MagPul would take a hint from the Yugo AK-47 mags that lock the bolt open on the last round. That product would surely be a winner with AK enthusiasts. Great video as always Hickok. Stumping for the sponsors is a drag, but you pull it off with pinashe'. And the old shooter's enthusiasm was well in evidence when you exclaimed, "Oh look, a propane bottle!" Lol. Those things are always a "blast" to shoot. Life is good.
im not a fan of the AK but this has me won over. Im totally making this my next rifle purchase. what a cool set up!
The Magpul stuff is nice but the wood that my C39V2 came with is so dang nice that I can't bare to change it. I just put the Magpul stuff on the WASR. I did put a Magpul grip on the C39V2 though.
has hickock done a famas video?
what about LMG like an M60 or an M249?
He did a m60 vid a little while ago
For someone who does not machine for a living, you`re right, that is one well-machined receiver!
It may have some signs of quick skims on the receiver surface, but that might well only be a sensitive lens!
Thanks for another great video, on another great gun!
What you guys dont endure at the compound for our viewing pleasure :)
I have the same gun expect my stock is slightly different and with all Magpul. Great AK-47. The best model I have shot out of 16. Recoil isn't bad at all and it's very accurate for a AK.
I've noticed. All the AKs you have shot don't have wooden furniture. Is there a particular reason why?
+Oliver Karuna Mainly those short little wooden stocks are almost totally useless and impractical for me, or anybody who is tall at all.
+hickok45 it is A bit short I'm A ak guy because of reliability an how effective it is. You could get A RPK stock it's A bit longer.
***** Colt AR 15s are high end AR 15s. I still wouldn't want a AR 15 in battle.
+carrie mcclure A well made AR is just as reliable. A myth about AR's is they mal-function when dirty. As long as, you keep the bolt wet/lubed. An AR will run all day, regardless if it's dirty. Currently, there's a lot of well built AR's from plenty of manufactures. And at affordable price points. I'm an AR guy. However, I don't discontent the reliability of the AK either. And it's a fine weapon too. Just comes down to personal preference.
+carrie mcclure I like them alot dont get me wrong ar15s are fun to shoot and customize. I just really don't want to leave any room for error with my luck my ar woyld jam in A battle situation. Ive handle lot of ar15s I like the smith and wessons mp15s there made good for the money.
Dear Mr H, this video is just another example of why you are the reason I purchased my first AK, a Century Arms WASR10 that I slapped on KVAR'S full furniture on then promptly sold it to fund an Arsenal 107SF, what a joy to shoot! Right after that I purchased an I.O. AKM which has become my favorite gun ever!!! Thank you for the enthusiasm in your inspirational videos!!!
One thing I am curious about with this gun: Does it have the side mount for optics, etc.?
As I recall from a review of the stamped version, it did have the side attach. This is quite unusual for Century. None of the Yugo guns I have from them came with the side mount (although they are otherwise fine guns in my experience.) I saw comments like, "it is about time Century!" regarding the stamped rifle. I feel this guys pain as almost no one will retro-fit the side mount on an AK.
Great video! Was wondering is you could do a review on the CETME or PTR 91. Both are quality rifles with very cheap mags and replacement parts.
you should try do a review on the century arms c93 please.
Mr. Hickok Sir, I sure hope that you would never go "BAD" because I would hate to be the Police and Highway Patrol and U.S. Army and National Guard and Air Force and Navy and Coast Guard And Last but not least The United States Marine Corps. To come after you .
840 bucks right now from Buds, man that's steep. I love AK's, but you can almost build two AR15s for the price of one of these...Glad I grabbed a SAIGA when they were cheap.
+Ian Rupert I did picked up a Saiga 7.62x39 "Sporter" version also. I'm very happy with it !!!
+Kaleb Balboa Palmetto State Armory
+Ian Rupert Spend $100 more and get a DDI forged milled AK 47. With a Lifetime Warranty!
Its good to have a youtube channel that tells you which brand ammo goes through paper easier.
I love American made products, but “All American Made” and “AK47” in the same sentence is taboo 😂
That is probably one of the nicest AKs I have seen. It really is a nice looking gun.
I bought the V1 when it first came out and I absolutely love it. I'm glad to see Century doing good on the the major complaints with the first gen rifles.
How is your ak holding up
This would be so much nicer with wooden furniture.
+DeadCamper Then get one with wood furniture. It's available also. I'm sure Hickok45 is happy with what Buds sends to him. I know I'd be.
+ANTHONY N. Of course he is, I didn't imply anything else.
Shhhh, I'm watching 'Hickok45' right now. Thanks !!!
:>
Deadcamper wood furniture gets hot fast..
@Hickok45 I own this weapon and have found a very easy method for replacing the dust cover. I'm not sure how to put it into words but I can make you a quick video detailing my method if you'd like. I personally love how snug the dust cover fits. I find most akm's feel cheap because the dust cover rattles a bit.
I'll try and put it into text anyway. So, I just let the dust cover rest on the receiver and I push it forward until I feel the recoil spring start to take up tension, then without lifting up the rear end of the dust cover. I slightly lift the front edge of the dust cover and push it in to the groove taking up more tension on the recoil spring. After that you can simply push the back end of the cover down and it will seat, releasing the tension from the recoil spring. Very easy to do.
Been considering this model as my first AK. Now that you've given your seal of approval and shown this gorgeous model with Magpul furniture, I'm gonna HAVE to get one - - but with the folding stock :-)
ive been happy with mine.
Has anyone, who has wanted to buy a C39v2, tried to email Century Arms about the few cast part issues that have plagued some of the C39v2 owners, to see if those issues were isolated or fixed, and have not received a reply from Century? Century Arms has said, "We (Century Arms) make the best AK in the world". They did not say their customer service is the best though. Palmetto State Armory's newer forged parts AK 47 might be the next AK for me. Or DDI's forged milled AK 47 with Lifetime warranty and great customer service might be best for around $200 more then the C39v2, (online deal).
I've owned a C39v2 with traditional wood furniture for a couple of years. I like it, particularly at the price I paid for it and 1k rounds of ammo for it back before the current tight market began.
you really get the best of both worlds with the C39v2, a lower price high quality milled reciever but what sets it apart, to me, is it takes standard stamped akm (the most commonly available) furniture. I love that I can flip flop my keymod akm hand guard with my wasr10, even my draco pistol all takes the same furniture. it does not have a side scope mount but I can use the one midwest industries handguard that i bought to mount my red dot on any of my ak's when I get bored with iron sights, and as a bonus the threaded barrel is concentric from the factory, so suppressing an ak is now a little bit easier and not as big of a hassle.
Please do a C39v2 Part 2 video!
I have similar ak by century arms and the same piece john broke was also broken in my gun after only firing 500 rounds
Why I'm not lookin' for an AK ,..Because Im POOR !! ...lol..but I do want one,.Thanks for another cool vid,.. !!.
mine has performed flawless. I hope people keep talking down about them keeps the price down.. im in the market to purchase another one for my collection.
I seriously don't understand how American companies can't make a solid AK47, I've seen reviews on most of Century Arms's AK's and all of them seem to be 50/50. Good thing I just stick with my AR15. Not an AK hater but when it comes to spending $500-700 on a rifle, I don't want a 50/50 gun.
It's because they used cast trunnions, bolts and bolt carriers. If they used forged parts they would be good guns.
I heard the pumpkin king talking about how he was going to invade the compound.
Perhaps you should show him why that's a bad idea! ;)
Him going "pot smoking" or "let's smoke some pot" and he shoots a clay pot it kills me Everytime
I would get someone to check the head spaces on products from century. Seems that some of them blow up due to incorrect head spaces and weak bolts.
What about the Century Arms RAS 47 I have heard good and bad about this rifle? Have you fired one yet?
That's the stamped receiver. Lighter and weaker. POS
+y0manda lol its not a POS. Maybe the first run was...theyre at the 48,000+ build number now...many of the bad reviews for the RAS47 I have found were up to the 10,000 series or lower in terms of serial numbers...My RAS47 has no issues so far...1,000 rounds thru it. If the bolt carrier group for some reason wears out early, you can just replace it with a polish bcg for example and it will be better than ever.
Aresfire2 the reason why the ras47 sucks is because of the cast trunnions. It takes some serious abuse to break those though.
Thanks Sys41, Hey man, When we are putting out our hard earned $$$$'s We don't expect nothing but the best materials in such a crucial area. When I buy an AK I expect it to be given to my gran kids without the fear of it ever failing. Man, It's just crazy to me to put failure and AK47 IN THE SAME SENTANCE.
i can tell you how to make an ak malfunction: pour it full of concrete, and sit it in the corner for a week or 2. that really is about the only way, lol (don't try this at home kids)
The current model (BFT47 and VSKA) on their website looks good. Anyone have experience with those? Never had an AK. I want to like the AK but I hear very different experiences and makes me wonder if I m wasting money if I buy one.
This video came up as I was searching for how to get the dust cover back on. I literally got it back on right before Hickock told us how to do it. Luckily, I did it exactly the same. Never force anything you're not absolutely sure can be forced.
The left side of the carrier, the slot in the carrier that rides the upper rail can be used to help lift the gas tube lever.
literally hitting the bowl when he said pot smoking ahaha
A milled AK, to me, just doesn't make much sense. They're already not a terribly light gun stamped, and then you add cost and weight by milling. It just seems like a fool's upgrade, if you ask me. I believe milled can add some accuracy, allegedly? Still, the AK platform not being terribly precision accurate anyway, it still wouldn't make sense IMO.
great looking rifle!
Na zdarovya!
I think it means "cheers" in russian or something...
Or something, who cares
It means, "To your health".
This rifle is next on my buy list. Just have to sell a couple more items on gunbroker.com that I am not using. I am an AR guy and always shied away from the AKs as I don't want junk, but couldn't bring myself to fork over Arsenal or DDI money for one. This gun seems to do the trick at a good price.
machining marks are pretty obvious in the up close shots, but as long as it works it's not a big deal lol
#1 Pot smoking channel on youtube
Is there such a thing as being too good of a shot?? Well, when you can't break a cinder block because you keep shooting through the same hole......well yeah!!!😮
Hello.. Big Daddy D..id like to get one, but Iam just afraid of the government banning or taking them away. Money down the drain 🇺🇸🔫
If Hikock says it’s a good gun it’s a good gun . I believe him over everybody crying on the internet. Check your headspace regularly (like you should do on any AK) and you’ll be good
hey Hickok45 you should try magpul folding/adjustable zhukov stock on your sgl 20 rifle; from what I've heard it's one of the best aftermarket stocks you can get for an AK that is a folding stock. that and it looks great on the AK
Does anyone else here own one of these? Is $600 a good price for one?
challenge can you find that gun to show :-)
stechkin 9x18 :-) Thx :-)
I think highly of your reviews, so if you ever get the chance to shoot and comment on a Century Arms C308, I would be grateful. Thank you for all the great videos - excellent commentary and skill.
I really hope hickok gets an M+M M10x. I've been dieing to see a review to see if I want one or not.
Your one Awesome Dude sir, wouldn't want to be at the end of this guy's barrel.
Were you shooting different ammo during the opening shots vs after you disassembled it? There was a LOT more muzzle flash before the field strip.
Hickok, you can use the slot in the bolt carrier to flip the disassembly lever for the gas tube. There is also a slot in the cleaning kit tube specifically for that task, but that stock doesn't hold a cleaning kit. Thanks for the video.
No bayonet lug? no side mount for a scope? not worth the price tag with those missing.. its cool there including Magpul furniture but still not worth it to me.. maybe someone else but not to me
That 2 Liter target is hilarious.
I have similar ak by century arms and the same piece john broke was also broken in my after only firing 500 rounds
hickok if you had to choose between the VZ58 you previously tested and this C39 which would you go with?
Awww nice he got brass 7.62x39 that stufff is always so expensive i would like to stock up on some!!!
Hey hickok45, whats the best ammo you recommend for a SARS B6P 9 mm compact?
If you want milled might as well go all the way 1,299 on an Arsenal SAM7R cant beat them
Why poeple still make AKs with the Type 3C receiver? The AKMN receiver is so much better.
Can you sacrifice one of your Glocks and do a snake eyes sights video? Just curious of an opinion from a real professional.
ill stick with my $600-$800 dollar vska & wasr 10 over any high dollar akm like an arsenal or sega lol
Hickok45, do you know the bore size of the C39v2? I can't find ANY info on the internet. I have one on order and I want to know if purchasing brass-cased ammo is worth the investment (to reload) or if I should just buy the cheap Wolf or RAS ammo. If it's a 308 bore, then I can easily reload it without accuracy problems. If it's 310 or 311 I wouldn't reload for it. Thanks.

Just but .310 or .311 bullets and load away
Is there any options on the market to install a Picatinny rail for a red dot. Or is there option out there to install an AK style side mounted scope?
Mr. hickok45, i just bought the century arms RPK C39. i beleive its the same receiver like the C39 V2 in the video. my question is, what mount do you suggest to mount an optic on the rear of the gun. because there are no mounts that i know of. this is my first AK platform gun. i know you own a few ak s so anything will help. thank you sir!
How much are those now ? 2019
USED
If I were to guess, maybe $500 with medium use.
500-700$. I bought mine 750$ new without optics mounting options or anything.
I have some regular ak47 mags. do you think they will fit in this c39v2?
