CENTURY ARMS VSKA

The Century Arms VSKA (Vermont Stamped Kalashnikov) is a heavy-duty, American-made AK-47 built for shooters who demand more than just a "budget" rifle. Re-engineered from the ground up, the VSKA stands out in the crowded AK market by utilizing S7 tool steel-the same ultra-tough material used in jackhammer tips-for its critical components. This includes the front trunnion, bolt carrier, and feed ramp, ensuring maximum shock resistance and longevity where other rifles often fail. Featuring a 16.25-inch chrome-moly 4150 barrel and the highly-regarded RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group, this 7.62x39mm rifle delivers a smooth, predictable break that far exceeds the "slop" found in traditional surplus triggers. Finished in a durable manganese-phosphate coating and paired with striking American Maple furniture, the VSKA offers the classic "Russian Red" aesthetic with modern American reliability. Whether you are hitting the range for high-volume training or looking for a dependable home defense option, the VSKA is built to run hard.
