Miss you James and sir in Heaven up above my C39v2 is still running like a champ
Thanks for the info. I don't shoot alot. I bought my c39v2 for self defense and end of the world stuff. A lot of haters on TH-cam on c39v2. Coming from you, I can rest assure that the c39v2 is a good rifle.
I went with the C39v2 and I have received much hate in the comment section.
I’d bought it for the same reasons.
No complaints with the rifle.
I have both a wasr and a c39v2. The v2 is a great ak rifle as far as accuracy.
Love mine it’s very accurate
@@maccliff2115 i replaced to bcg in mine with a Belgium one and haven't had any issues. Always passing go/no-go
It would be cool to see a video on all of the rental guns and gear that are being tested, people like to see what all holds up with lots of use.
Watch this video.
@@TacticalResponseCrew ahh I thought you guys would also use some ar 15’s, hand guns and body armor.
Thank you, appreciate the long term report and opinion. No one talks about these Ak anymore
Have my c39 classic blonde..6 years now and still running like a champ
It is sad how AK people try to shame you when you mention that you own one of these rifles. Oh well, I love mine anyway and continue to enjoy it. Thanks for your professional take on this rifle. Gives me peace of mind! 😊
Gotta second you on the accuracy. I have a C39 V1 that has no problem getting first round center hits on 6" plates at 200 yards, with the proper hold over of course. Damn fine rifle in my experience.
Your videos should be considered public service announcements. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you. I have a c39v2 and don't run a lot of rounds through it. I was happy to hear that it's reliable at your range.
At 3:00 I hit the like button. Always dropping heavy perspective.
I just ran loaner rifle "Charlie" through fighting rifle last month. First time spending quality time with an AK and it ran great. Couple of old mags had me work some un-planned malfunction drills, but once Jay and I sorted them out of the mix, everything was great! My chest rig must have been a recent replacement as it was in great shape. I was reminded, however, of my disdain for single point slings. Lol!
Thanks for the loaner! Now I want an AK!
Thanks...HUNDREDS of you folks have used them.
Let me guess, you caught Charlie in the balls?
I have had my c39v2 for 3yrs over 3000rds run through no malfunction normal internal ware I love mine
I have two C39V2.
A pistol with brace, and a rifle.
They both run fantastic.
Wait till you hit 500-1000 rounds
Thanks for the update James. I bought my C 39 because of what you said in the past and it's been a good gun this far....
I love honest reviews! Call a spade a spade. If it’s good call it good. If it sucks says it sucks. Good video!
Thanks for the info! The first time I saw you with War Poet, I didn't know how to take you, but you peaked my curiosity. I enjoy your brutal honesty, spot on wisdom and humor that fills my information void. Carry on the 2A fight James!!!
I shot under 1 inch groups with mine right out of the box. Haven't had to do anything to it but clean it. Glad to see that not everybody hates the c39v2 AK.
Thank you for doing your videos. They help people a lot.
My pleasure!
On that spring, it sounds like a case of “work hardening”. As the spring gets compressed and un-compressed it twists the metal in the coil.
Because of the sheer volume of cycles it goes through (you put a shit-ton of rounds through the rifle), it stiffened up enough to cause a problem.
My buddy was ready to sell his V2 for next to nothing due to the comments he saw on other sites. I told him I’d wait till there were a few more realistic non zombie apocalypse 10,000 rounds per day scenarios reported on it before making a decision. I told him I was ready to buy it from him if he just had to unload it instead. But sure enough,he sent me your review recently and he’s a a happy camper now! And I’m out a good cheap chance at great AK lol. Thanks for sharing your info. New subscriber.
I own one, C39V2. Ran flawlessly for many years probably put about 7k rounds through her. Just recently, my bolt and receiver started warping. I kept shooting it and just today the bolt carrier group gave out on me. It is stuck in Headspace mode. I had to use a mallot and free it. I am going to buy a Polish bolt carrier and bolt and see if that helps. I'm crossing my fingers
Great video James, spoken honestly and to the point with authority as usual. Thank you
Wow
Just started having a problem with ejection on my c39 .
Just thought it was getting to dirty.
I’ll have to clean it up and replace the recoil spring.
Thank you sir.
I trusted James on canik and now I own 3 with literally 5k Rds a piece on. I will trust him again on my century 39 and I agree the most accurate ak I have ever shot.
R.I.P. James, you left behind a huge pair of boots that can never be filled...
I have a m70b1 cia build and it has ran great for just shy of 10yrs. Dont have quite your round count, but its been a great rifle.
It boggles my mind that someone would steal from you, I know damn well that had they asked you probably would have given them one
AK operators union beat the crap out of one , drove over it with a car , ver 5000 rounds and still was working but evidently that still wasn’t good enough . What the hell was that all about ? I’ll buy one for sure after seeing that torcher test 👍
I saw a picture of you teaching a gentleman in a wheelchair, soooooooo, I have no excuse with my issues not to try you training (69yr old dude with hip, knee and bad back issues) course.thanks for the info.
Please do!
I've heard about c-39 being a good rifle just, thought it was fan boy stuff... But now that I've seen this. Think it's time I take another look. Thanx for the vid.
I have one as well as various Bulgarian, Romanian, Serbian aks. It is more accurate than all of them tbh lol. Most are internet trolls that have never shot one in their lives. Also my bcg is perfectly fine with about 2200 rounds through it as of date
@@fredrickmiltonthaddeusdoug9747 nice!!
Well the c39v2 is completely discontinued by century thanks to everyone bashing on it, once everyone realizes how good they are the price on em are gonna heavily increase
That's a good thing, ticking time bombs is what they are
@@elyriggs9346 Right, let’s keep their prices low ;)
@@HookLine48 that way more people get injured from out of battery discharges lol
@@elyriggs9346 If only we had the Russian ammo required to do so
My personal experience, my c39v2 didn’t last 500 rounds before my bolt began mushrooming and now won’t smoothly go into battery
RIP James, thank you.
Dang. And I’ve passed on these at great deals in the past. Thanks for letting us know!
Got mine for $600 upgraded to a Polish BCG and a Bonesteel Arms folding stock also a Chaos Inc. hand rail and top rail setup. Bad Ass gun for about $1000 all in
I believe you sir I haven’t seen one taken to a high round count my cousin has one with over two thousand and it has ran great which is nothing in an all life but the accuracy is phenomenal for an ak heck even oh rib ski has said that about this very gun.
I miss Yeager
Yes a spring.
RIP 🙏
Bought mine from your first review was hard to get but I got 1 its awesome I let friends shoot it they loved it so they added 1 to there guns thanks for all you do for all of us
The only time I've ever seen an ak extractor effect ejection was a wasr ..the extractor retaining pin Grove had a burr look liked it was cur with a hand drill.. but that was a one in a million thing ..so it could extractor the round but not enough movement to clear port in time...Im guessing a factory defeat.. but even on that extremely rare case that was a gun that didn't work from day one.. so James is 100 percent right
Thanks for the follow-up. Mine runs like a scalded dog. Don't know why people write off a whole line because of one unit with headspace issues.
Because it wasn't one unit. The RAS-47 was well known to have issues and many people reported it, including a loss of headspace. The C39v2 had issues reported as well, including cracks forming in places that were hazardous to the gun. Even the VSKA famously shit the bed when Yeager attempted to torture test 2 of them to prove they were good and one failed headspace before the video and the other loss headspace during the video and they were able to push the barrel pin out (the barrel pin should require a hydraulic press to move).
Great video brother. Thank you for the information and update. 🇺🇸🗽🦅👍🏼💪🏼
Any time!
I would’ve said bust out the Dremel tool and polish the Feed Ramps
Why though?
It wasn't a failure to extract or feed...
If an empty case doesn't clear like it should your action is probably short stroking for whatever reason or your extractor isn't working because of damage or fouling
@@brenttrent8811 it was a joke. 10+ years ago every kitchen table gun smith was taking a dremel tool to their guns.
RIP Good Buddy
Good barrel + good trigger = accuracy. Glad they're working well.
Trigger has no effect on accuracy. That is ammo and barrel.
I remember the v1 video and 1000 round test. How’s the v1 these days?
Fine.
Who tf would steal from someone who would literally help anyone?
Wow :) James knows his stuff !
Finally a guy that tells the truth....
DZ93
It would be cool to see a video on all of the rental guns and gear that are being tested, people like to see what all holds up with lots of use.
They are on here.
Great video very informative and thank you for posting!
Still running my v1.
It's okay.
@Sigkim WASR top class
Thabk you, sir.
thanks for the video!
Sure thing!
I have one of my own, the heavier barrel and their great trigger (which comes standard)with all the new c39s make for a great fighting/range rifle
Very interesting. Thank you!
Great video! And solid info.
These ak elitists are all full of crap. So much bs on this rifle. Mine has been great. It has never had a malfunction, which is more than I can say for my Smith and Wesson and Ruger AR's. The trigger is phenomenal. The barrel is good. The bcg and bolt probably are a little soft. I'm watching mine close but it's fine so far. I will get the Polish parts later because that will make it a great rifle. I believe the milled receiver is fine. Don't believe the AK snobs it's good for the price.
Ok I gotta know who stole em now lol
A former employee? Wow
I have a question about the situation with the Century Arms C-39 v2 failure to extract: did you try have a professional gunsmith polish the chamber? Do you think that would help eliminate the problem?
Try using a different brand of ammo.
Great info, what kind of hand guard is that? Midwest industry?? If so what model number? Thanks
Did you find out what handguard that is?
3:21 , this guy knows Latin too !!!
Proper use of the word “ alumnus” not alumni , alumna or alumnae .
BRAVO ZULU !!
Illegitimi non carborundum
Its just hard to drop a bad reputation once some ppl get it started
Well if the spring is too heavy it can certainly keep the bolt from cycling and cause malfunctions.
Not what I said.
@@TacticalResponseCrew i know, just pointing it out because you said you wouldn't have bet on the spring fixing it.
Is that the regular C39 or the C39V2?
Its the V 2
I keep hoping for a c39V3.
Very awesome rifle, I have a bolt carrier problem with mine, at 3:07 when his finger is placed where the round ejects, is where mine stops. Won't go in any further and if tried, very hard to pull back out. Anyone familiar with this issue?
Does it have a cast trunion?
good to know
Rip
What handguard is on that particular rifle?
Midwest Industries
Do you care to specify which one and thanks for the reply. This is the only video I have found with a modern handguard on the c39v2 other than a Magpul polymer.
I've shot over 5,000 rounds since I bought new in 2019 my c39v2 and no malfunctions at all. Killed a deer each year at 80+ yards with the the primary arms acss scope. Probably cleaned it like 4 times since I owned it and it still reliable. I do check the bolt and it seems to be in good shape. The c39v2 is not a gun that you can shoot over 500 rds per range session. Any gun needs to be cooled off after dumping 30 to 60 rds. It does get hot very easily and for an ak47, you must wear some gloves.
What hand guard is on that c39?
Midwest Industries
How about the new Thunder Ranch version James?
Send me one.
Most of the rage reviews of C39s are from the hardcore AK lovers who get big mad over milled AKs
Good shit
I don't know much about AK's but I hear Century Arms getting dumped on all the time. Did they just have a bad couple of years of putting out bad rifles or is there more to it?
I've owned and shot exceeding 100 firearms since the 90's. In 2016 I bought a Century RAS47 from Cabela's which became my 11th AK pattern rifle at the time. I wanted a beater AK to minimize use of my other AK Rifles. I returned it to Cabela's in less than 30 days and they took it back and gave me a full refund. It's pretty darn hard to return a firearm to a retailer but even Cabela's didn't have a real argument against taking it back once I showed it to them. It was literally experiencing breaking/cracking metal parts when I returned it. Quality was beyond horrible. It's the only firearm I've ever returned. I have OPAP's and WASR's that Century had their hands on converting but they built the RAS47 and mine was just as bad as what I imagine my experience would have been if I ever bought an I.O. (I've never owned an I.O).
Supposedly they were using casting of the bolts instead of forging which is the ak standard in europoor countries. I've never seen issues personally on my rifle but I can't deny that others have seen failures. Everyone takes robskis videos as the standard but he literally tortures the rifles and it lasted 5k rounds. For the average person it is perfectly fine. If you want a military issue rifle get an arsenal. That's really what it boils down to.
"This rig is wore out out"
Marines "That rig is just gettin broke in"
Yeah you badass I have a centurion picked it up a couple months ago love it 39s are badass you are correct as most of the time you are..
Most of the time?
@@TacticalResponseCrew yeah we all can't be right all the time that would be insane that's all I meant by that James
Whats the long term report on the 13.5" MI AR pistol?
All the MI guns seem to work
Runs
But Holosuns are so affordable.
Can we confirm this is a C39v2 and not a "v1"?
Has the side rail. Its a v2
Also.Magpul furniture won't fit on a V1
Is that the red dot. Holosun HE515GM? I’m tempted to get back into the AK game. Does the C39 have any issues with mags not fitting? My WASR 10 was a crap shoot. I had to hand select mags for it all the time.
I hear the Century Arms Vyskas are a great improvement on the C39
Vska are better
Yikes. No.
C39V2 is milled...better than stamped...everything else is pretty much the same...6k on mine runs like a champ...accurate as heck too
RIP
I like mine
I have one... Excelent rifle.
Can i bring my wasr 10 to class
You would have to sign up for one.
I have that same Midwest rail on my ak👍
My RAS47 runs good and has maintained spec. Not near the round count, especially lately, but it does what I want. I agree they have good barrels and shoot better than any other AK I have owned or fired. I probably would not buy another one, but I’m not getting rid of the one I have.
Not a good employee for sure, it’s bad you can’t trust a worker in the gun community. Thank goodness he’s gone ,He could cause much worse damage if he were so saboteur🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I need to buy 2 for my girls
Got anything to TRADE?
I perpetuated a lie, sorry friends.
When did that happen?
Nothing blew up on me.
And all the Century haters just peed a little...
I'm sad that my cousin sold his
😎🖖👍👌✌😁
What rail is that? I love my c39v2. You are gonna piss off the elitists hahaha
Midwest Industries Rail
James, your time is valuable. Thank you for it. I got one of the first CA C39 grey zebra ply. //ji
