Century Arms You Fix 'em

Sgtsquid · 11-04-2009, 08:07 PM

Has anyone purchased one of these and if so what condition are they in? Is it usually a simple fix or are they too far gone to bring back? I know each one is different but if anyone has had any prolonged history with You fix 'ems I'd like to know. Thanks.

I too have been curiouse about those gun smith specials. just about all the major distributers have a list of them. they come in a variety of conditions. from missing small parts, cracked stocks to having no bolts. I have bought a Yugo SKS, and an Ishapore 2A Enfield with cracked stocks and they were both good shooters when I put them in plastic stocks.

It just scares me when the ad states may or may not include a bolt. If I sort of knew what might be missing I might take a chance on one.

I have had extensive experience with those deals.Generally, you can get 3 or 4 or 5 and make 1 good one.Then of course you have a pieced gun and parts of 2 or 3 others. Probably cheaper to buy 1 good one.On the other hand, once I bought 5 for 125 bucks I think Mosin model 44.I got 4 great guns and except for a front band, the 5th was great also.Bayos were missing on them all.Cleaning rods on 3.So who can know?I have seen some complete junk on several deals.
