This review of the Century VSKA AK after 2500 rounds highlights persistent weak extraction issues, despite the rifle remaining mechanically sound and passing a no-go gauge test. The stock held up better than expected, but malfunctions, including failure to eject, were frequent and worsened over time. Internal components like the bolt carrier and trunnion showed minimal wear.

This video provides a closure on a Radical Firearms AR-15 after extensive testing, detailing upgrades and performance. The presenter replaced the original bolt carrier group with a Daniel Defense BCG and noted significant improvements. After nearly 5,000 rounds, the rifle maintained approximately 1.5 MOA grouping with ZQI ammunition, demonstrating good barrel performance and overall reliability. The Geissele DMR trigger also performed exceptionally well without maintenance.
