Century M74 Review. In spite of this, there are good Century builds, and there are bad ones. as well as most other components. Can someone tell me who makes, or who probably makes this receiver? Everything else on the rifle is fine and it is pretty accurate, just the doubling problem. The only thing I noticed was that the stock was a little wobbly. OP, may I respectfully suggest the new Red Star Arms trigger group as a replacement for your rifle? Member Ask them if they made the receiver and if so, which receiver they supplied.

These are listed as excellent condition by Cen for sale by TXSporting on GunsAmerica - 967298354 Yes it does, a Tapco G2 single hook. 5.45x39 caliber. Does it have a tapco g2 in it now? Come join the discussion about optics, builds, gunsmithing, styles, reviews, accessories, classifieds, and more! Thanks TJRoush. Our Sales staff cannot forecast price or availability of Wish List items. It also has a built in can and bottle opener!Really the piston is the only part of the gun that had much residue on it, and the inside of the receiver was especially clean:So the M74 is a great rifle at a great price. Recoil is also virtually non-existent due to the low caliber 5.45×39 round and the M74’s extremely effective muzzle brake. Thanks

Widners probly wont do anything and Century has a 1 year warranty from the day it leave the factory. Prompt response from NoDak Spud:   "The receiver in your rifle is not from us. Hello r/ak47. Receiver marked "Century Arms Inc, Georgia, VT. M74 Sporter SN: M74-CXXXXXX" (C followed by 6 numbers). Regardless, a 3 inch group with iron sights and surplus 5.45 ammo is definitely minute of man and I was satisfied with that.After the brief accuracy test it was time to beat on this thing with some rapid fire. When I bought the gun (along with two 40 round magazines and one thirty round magazine and 1500 rds of ammo) for $500, it had this atrocious spray can / rattle can paint job. As usual I shot five groups of five shots.The trigger on the M74 is a single hook Tapco group that breaks extremely well and I was pleasantly surprised by the light trigger pull of the rifle.After the accuracy test I walked up and inspected the target.
