Description
East meets West in the best possible way with the Century Arms Red Army Standard (RAS) Rifle, an AKM with Soviet roots and American exceptionalism. It’s a Kalashnikov through and through, retaining a number of the classic AKM features like the uber-reliable long-stroke piston system, post and notch iron sights, slant muzzle brake, and AKM-standard threading. It’s rock-solid like an AK should be, and it’ll feed reliably on both Magpul and surplus mags.
It’s a classic AK in all the ways you want it to be…and Century’s enhancements only make it better. First and foremost, it features the hugely popular Magpul® Zhukov furniture. The Zhukov Handguard offers an extended option for modern shooting techniques, an aluminum chassis for strength and heat dispersion, a comfortable injection molded exterior for superior ergonomics, and M-LOK® slots for optimized accessory attachment. The Zhukov-S Stock is a modern, side-folding Stock that offers length-of-pull adjustments, QD sling mount, and a shock-absorbing rubber butt pad. Other “Americanizations” include a side scope rail mount with return-to-zero capability, RAK-1 enhanced trigger group, and a friendlier T-shaped magazine catch.
By combining the AK-47’s signature features with a handful American innovations, Century Arms has created a rock-solid Rifle that feels a little more familiar and a little more friendly. Get one for yourself, and you’ll see that it’s truly the best of both worlds.
