  As with ANY Century gun you rolls the dice and takes your chances. Century is known far and wide for their WECSOG practices. They will eventually correct a bad gun but it can be a hassel.

  I JUST HAD ONE OF THESE IN THE SHOP, WORKED WELL BUT SHOT 8" LEFT @100 YDS WITH ALL OF THE SIGHT ADJ. USED UP (NOT MUCH TO START WITH) HAD TO RESORT TO DRASTIC MEASURES TO ZERO THE RIFLE (READ BALL PEEN HAMMER). REAR SIGHT IS WELDED TO THE RECEIVER HOUSING W/NO ADJUSTMENT.

  Yel, I bought one of these about this time last year. It shoots very reliably and is reasonably accurate. The receiver looks like I welded it myselft (poorly), but the hk parts are all very nice looking.
  
  I guess I got lucky with this one, but I also got lucky with my Century FAL, too.
  
  You cant beat the price of hk91 mags right now. Go for it!

  We've ordered some of these as "special orders" for customers at the store I work at. When they arrived and the customers saw them I'd get a kick out of the look of disgust on their face![:D] Not to be mean but they were well advised that they'd be getting a poorly made gun. Anyways, they would still go for it because the price was "so cheap".
  I always try to warn customers that they're better off saving just a little more and getting what they really want.
  
  Save your $$$ and buy something better!, unless you like being disgusted.[;)]
