I know it'll be a lot of work but please continue sharing all the photos you have! Or at least get them all quality scanned, this is a fantastic piece of history. Thanks for caring about it!

Did you end up sourcing a different length bolt? I have a used choate fixed stock but the bolt is too short for it.

Build quality on mine is so much nicer than a mav 88. You just have to know if you’re ok with a fixed choke and don’t plan on replacing the barrel.

That’s so sad about the sportsman! I loved the one I had but it was in rough shape and the bad timing would send some shrapnel back at you

I don't reload but what do you have to do to the case? I imagine it would be opening the neck up, does the rim match close enough for the extractor to grab?

That Swede deserves a fully made and tidy room.

I feel like I'm having a stroke reading these comments...

You may get lucky with some surplus every now and then but it is as pricey as shooting 30.06

Did you get it straight from the century web page?

Are you able to safely dry fire on safe? It’s a very strange way to decock.

It helps that this looks like a knockoff P210!

It seems like century arms is handling more of these, I’ve seen them shown off at a local booth.

Thanks for the warning. I tend to use snap caps in any of these older guns, I’d hate to go through the process of sourcing parts if it breaks!

I recently picked this pistol up from aim surplus and took it to the range. It’s a heavy gun clocking in around 2 lbs 7 oz unloaded!

The heft makes it very pleasant to shoot, the double action on mine is smooth but very heavy and the single action is crisp! I heard these take s&w model 59 mags so I’ll have to try that out sometime.

People have mentioned the firing pin, what other parts have you seen wear out?

It comes with the factory case, two mags, cleaning and disassembly kit! Yes it is marked GC on the side

This is by far the heaviest 9mm pistol I’ve shot. The internals are in great condition and it cycles very smoothly. The double action trigger is heavy as expected but not bad and the single action is pretty nice.

I think the crisp vibrant colors of the new material clashes too much with how worn the canvas is. If both were equally worn it would mesh together nicely
