This is why I'm happy I didn't end up selling my VEPR12; eliminates my need (but not want  :( ) to pick up an AK.

They say that mil contracts in Romania and other E. bloc countries are the cause, however I wonder if the U.N. Small Arms Treaty has anything to do with it.
If you have needs, better to stay in front of the herd.

I was leaning toward the c39 v2, but recently read about the cast parts used in many US made AKs.

I will wait and see what shakes out as the better product.

Any import ban is bad news for the consumer. Like TastesLikeMetal said, options.

That being said, I think century is really working hard to get their s**t together and put out a top quality AK.
