Glad to see you got one.

Don't forget to read the sticky about 922r compliance. I am going to assume that you have a US made flash hider.

Nice capture Jake, measure your bolt gap and make sure it's good and go shootin!!!

[jakeb2008]

Not much bolt gap. I shot it last weekend and the bolt kept jamming up. Took it apart twice and oiled it real good and the same thing. I took it apart again and worked the spring back and forth and the "spring retainer" (not sure what its called) shot off. Luckily it hit someone a couple tables down so I got it back. Here the little pin that holds it on came out and was keeping the spring from pushing the bolt all the way forward. Took it inside the range shop to the gunsmithing area and put a new pin in it. went outside and went through 2 mags with no problems.

I am glad you got it working

Looks good. Probbly already 922r compliant as it seems to be a CAI receiver. The spare parts should consist of a cocking handle spring from RTG, and I always keep a spare recoil assembly on hand. Just picked up a complete spare stock set for $14.50 available @ www.hassayampasurplus.com
Cheaper than dirt also has them but the quality is only so-so.
You really going to like that weapon.:thumbup:

God job getting it working now clean it about 50 times to get the crud out of it, concentrate on the crap around the bolt carrier in the receiver where it slides back n forth, and, clean the crap out of the trigger pack, inside. Century puts these rifles together and they are DIRTY. I had to accuate mine ad clean it over and over to get it to cycle flawlessly. I jope this helps.

Thanks guys.
Now I need to work on some accuracy.
I was shooting some cheaper ammo and it was all over the place.
I'll work on some reloads this weekend.
Any suggestions would be great.

Check your bolt gap with feeler gauges. Too low of a bolt gap equals some danger and accuracy issues for sure.

:icon_biggrin:When reloading, use the NATO reloading specs only. These weapons seem to like the
147-to 168 gr. bullets. We use either BLC2, 748, or H335 powders. You have to roll crimp these rounds. There is good surplus ammo out there, but the cost has gotten to the point of stupid.
Have fun, enjoy
