    That wood grip looks homemade, like 9th grade shop class.

    I bought one and it was sending rounds out sideways at a distance of about 3 yards. It also was failing to scoop new rounds from the top of the magazine in every different magazine I tried. I returned it for another mini Draco. The second one I had would scoop ammo fine, and was fairly accurate, but it wouldn't fully go into battery. The machining inside the bolt carrier or on the bolt seemed to be imperfect in a way that wasn't allowing for it to fully rotate/lock into battery during the last 1/4-1/2 inch of it's motion forwards. Eventually I bought a replacement bolt and bolt carrier. This ended up solving the problem. Very frustrated with how everyone always says that AKs always run fine because "They're AKs". This was the exact opposite in my experience. Every AK I've owned has been a princess, and only works when it feels like it. I've had a cheap old AR for 5 years and I barely clean it but it never once jammed. I've tried/owned 3 different AKs and they've all had nonstop issues. Just glad it's working now. It's a great gun when it works.

    Does anyone know if the mini uses a traditional ak47 bcg with the exception of the piston? I'm wanting to swap it for a full auto one because I've heard the fostech echo triggers require it in AKs. Thanks for any help anyone can provide

    I just bought a mini and it didn’t have a recoil buffer block in it. Just ordered it. Would that cause any damage, or not allow it to function properly?

    • @GBGuns
      @GBGuns  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think it would cause damage. You may want to check with Century, maybe they changed something since this video was done, for example smaller gas port might eliminate the need for a buffer.

    I know you said pistol multiple times but I was wondering if a draco still abides by the 21 year old age limit for pistols or if it’s considered a rifle at gun shops and you can purchase at 18? I haven’t found any information online.

      Why? It's just like field stripping, except you wipe or scrub away any carbon. It the surface shows wear apply light lubricant. There isn't really a secret-special method to cleaning. Remove what shouldn't be there, lubricate where it's not happy.
