very cool, did you get the century 74's built on nodak receivers? when they come in make sure to inspect for canted barrel parts. you should be fine but just double check.

the mods should change this section to either 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 or just x39 or maybe even combloc. so when are your 74's coming in?

well the easiest way is to get a german furniture set (northridge has the best prices) then you could always get a german side folder (looks like a romanian lever release folder) but if you want to go all out, then get a german 74 top cover and selector (more defined stampings than bulgy) a german 74 rear sight leaf (1000 meter with the K battle sight marking) and a german 74 zig zag break (even though bulgys are zig zag too the german ones are slightly different) then paint the whole thing a thick low gloss black kinda like how hk's are.

in the pictures i posted are an MPi-AKS-74n (side folding ddr ak 74) and the shorty is a variation i am collecting and making parts for a clone, the awesome MPi-AKS-74NK

also all german 74's had side rails but your century 74 should come with one anyway

I liked the century 74 I had. Shot great... It is part of the reason I'm building two more.

They look good. Any plans for them or are they staying in their current configurations?

Do you go to CSU? I know a few guys that were looking at century 74's.

Dont century 74's have keyholeing issues sometimes? does this ever happen with 47's? what causes this?

I've read this is more of a problem with their Tantals not their 74s. One theory: Century was using 5.56 barrel blanks instead of 5.45 ones. Dunno if Century ever confirmed this or even admitted there was a problem.

Here's a video review by someone who had this problem. It's a 3 part video.
