Just picked up my first AK today, a century arms vska, as someone that always been primarily AR, anything to look out for or just go shoot it and get to know her?
@IUHoosier429 thanks. Been wanting to try an ak for awhile now but never could make room in the budget, but at the local store today this showed up for less than $600 so I figured I'd take a shot and get a Christmas gift.
So that is something I have looked into already, any suggestions? Wbp gen 2 and Krebs are the 2 I've looked at so far, with Krebs specifically sayingIf the rifle doesn't have an enhanced safety lever I would recommend getting one for it.
One thing you'll find about AK's is they aren't as standard as AR-15's, and "minor gunsmithing" is almost always necessary with almost everything, but Century is particularly bad about making proprietary stuff that doesn't play well with aftermarket AK parts.So that is something I have looked into already, any suggestions?

WILL NOT WORK ON CENTURY RIFLES WITHOUT MINOR GUNSMITHING******
In that case could I just use the sling in that 1st picture and loop it through that same hole?Loop some paracord through that hole in the gasblock and call it a day.
I don't know for sure, probably too small but might be worth a try.In that case could I just use the sling in that 1st picture and loop it through that same hole?
😂@Pinky787 that hole is in your combo block up front is a QD socket. Grab a cheap QD sling swivel, pop it in there, and you're good to go.
If it makes you feel better I emailed century just to see what they said, and they were like just get the Blue force ak sling and run the wire piece through it, so apparently whoever replies to the emails at century didn't know it was a qd socket either😂
I am so willfully ignorant about Century AK's.
Wolf can be one of a couple manufacturers. It probably wont make terribly much difference in your rifle. Buy whatever's cheap and try it out.1 last question I couldn't find a answer for on Google. As far as wolf steel cased ammo, is there much or any difference between the regular wolf black box, wolf polyformance and the wolf military classic? 1 was 122gr another 123gr and 124gr slightly different velocities. Is there a preference yall have?
Tried 2 different qd slings I have on ars and hole on the AK is too large

Thanks @IUHoosier429 I went ahead and ordered the blue force gear ak sling with the wire loop so we will see how it works when it arrives
