Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Century Arms Micro Draco?

The Micro Draco boasts a 6.25-inch barrel, is chambered in 7.62x39mm, and is made in Romania. It features a serialized dust cover and bolt carrier, and as a pistol, it bypasses 922R restrictions, allowing for 100% foreign parts.

What is the origin and legal classification of the Micro Draco?

The Micro Draco is manufactured in Cugir, Romania. Its classification as a pistol means it is not subject to 922R regulations, enabling Century Arms to import it with all Romanian-made components.
