The Century Arms VSKA delivers reliable AK-47 performance with modern upgrades that enhance both functionality and durability. This 7.62x39mm rifle combines traditional AK reliability with contemporary manufacturing techniques and premium components. Built with an S7 tool steel bolt, RAK-1 enhanced trigger group, and machined aluminum receiver, the VSKA addresses common concerns found in earlier AK variants.
What Makes This Different
Unlike stamped receiver AK rifles, the VSKA features a machined aluminum receiver with white distressed finish that provides enhanced rigidity and corrosion resistance. The S7 tool steel bolt offers superior strength compared to standard carbon steel bolts, rated for extended service life under high-round counts. Century Arms redesigned the bolt carrier and gas system components using modern metallurgy to eliminate reliability issues common in budget AK platforms.
Key Features
- S7 tool steel bolt and enhanced bolt carrier for extended durability
- White distressed machined aluminum receiver with improved strength-to-weight ratio
- 16.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with chevron muzzle brake for reduced recoil
- Magpul MOE AK stock and pistol grip for enhanced ergonomics
- Ultimak gas tube handguard with integrated Picatinny rail system
- RAK-1 enhanced trigger group with improved pull characteristics
- 30-round steel magazine included with rifle
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-3 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, suitable for hunting medium game at ranges up to 300 yards. The chrome-lined barrel maintains accuracy through extended firing sessions while resisting corrosion in adverse weather conditions. Competition shooters appreciate the Ultimak rail system's ability to mount optics directly over the gas tube, maintaining zero through thermal cycling. The chevron muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 20% compared to standard slant brakes.
