My C39V2

[CombatPossum11B]

          First off, I know that this gun will receive a great deal of ridicule from AK purists. Yes, I know that Rob Ski uncovered some issues with head spacing in the C39V2 that he tested. Sure, there are examples of C39V2's that have this issue; however, I have not had these issues. Is every gun an individual? Most probably.
          What I have is an example of said rifle that has been 100% reliable, American made, accurate (1-1.5 MOA @ 100 meters), and is still a properly headspaced example of this particular Century Arms AK variant model.
          I do not expect everyone to like it. All I expect is for my rifle to serve the purpose I set for it: be reliable, shoot 1-2MOA within 250 meters, and have the ability to be used for CQB and hit targets out to 300 meters with minute-of-man accuracy under duress. That said, I submit to you my C39V2.
          For those who are curious, the "leopard print" lined leather rifle case was one I picked up in Iraq on my last deployment. No, it is not real leopard fur (that would be ridiculously expensive and ethically wrong). I do not think you could find one in the US (Sorry kids. Gotta deploy to reap the spoils of war).
          Rifle has:
Tapco SAW pistol grip
MOE furniture
MOE cheek riser
Midwest Industries side rail scope mount
4x Primary arms ACSS illuminated reticle scope
Tapco AK74-style muzzle break
knockoff Chinese nylon tactical two-point sling
          Let me know what you think!

More pics plus custom leather case.
Yes that is Russian as interpreted by an Iraqi.

Nice, personally I like the Magpul furniture, but I like the Zhukov stock better.  That is a nice one of a kind case, I guess there should be some perks to being deployed.

did you steal that case from the Kardashians?

@bch7773:
          I saw a sample case in a bazaar in Baghdad and had one custom made for me with my name embossed in Russian (my family immigrated to the US from the Ukraine). It is the most ridiculous gun case ever. I had to have it. The fake snakeskin pattern tooled into the leather, the faux leopard print interior...It sparked the fire in my heart that peeks up when you see a cherry Pontiac firebird, or Mexican ostrich leather boots, or a mean Jedi rat-tail. No Kardashian could contain something like this.

Thanks for your post. What is your round count give or take? Accurate rifles matter! Keep posting in the rifles life. For casual shooting they should be fine.

@citycowboy:
          Current round count for the rifle is somewhere around 1000 rounds.

The thing I like about the C39V2 is that it's a milled receiver. I was looking at them after I got my Arsenal. Didn't know they had issues. Best of luck to you. Nice rifle btw. Love the case.

I was minutes away from buying a C39V2 a couple years back at the LGS until I looked into the used rifle case. There was a Molot Vepr Pioneer and a Polish milled receiver AK in the case. So it was either 1 C39 for 750. or both the Vepr and the Polish for 900. I chose the latter.

@Filroy77
          I had heard about the issues with some C39V2's before I bought mine but decided to roll the dice. I have had absolutely no issues as of yet with my example of the gun. To be sure, if something does happen, I will post here about it but as of yet my rifle has been 100% reliable.
@Dino412:
          I cannot say that I would not have done the same. I wanted an Arsenal SAM7SF at the time I bought my C39V2 but I couldn't source them so for the price of the SAM7SF I bought the C39V2 and had money left over for the optics and other extras.

how do you like that scope

10/10 Would Highly Recommend. It's perfect.
