Yeah, the nice thing about Saigas is the fit and finish seems to noticeably superior to the Century AK's. Don't get me wrong, I recently bought a Century-assembled WASR 10/63 AK, and it shoots with 100% reliability, just like the Saiga, but the WASR has a ton of rough and sharp edges on the inside compared to the Saiga. Also, the bolt seems to catch on the hammer occasionally with the WASR if you cycle by hand.

One of these days, I will have to compare them side by side for accuracy.
