Century Arms builds the VSKA as a semi-automatic rifle in the AK pattern, chambered in 7.62x39mm. It includes a Dong grip and a 30-round magazine, and it costs about nine hundred fifty-nine dollars.

The 7.62x39 is the classic round for this style of rifle, and ammunition is affordable and common. It hits hard enough for hogs and for deer in thick cover within short range, and it is fun to shoot at the range. The AK pattern is known for rugged design and simple operation.

The Dong grip is a pistol grip style that gives a different feel from a standard AK grip. Magazines and accessories for the AK family are common, so you can add a red dot or a different handguard later.

Clean the rifle after range sessions and keep the gas system lightly oiled. Test it with the ammunition you plan to use, since steel case and brass case loads can behave differently. This rifle is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer of your choice for the background check and transfer.
