The Century Arms VSKA is a California-compliant 7.62x39mm semi-automatic rifle built on a proven AK platform that appeals to shooters who want reliable performance in a modern, domestically-manufactured package. With a 16.5-inch chrome moly barrel and an overall length of 37.25 inches, this rifle hits the sweet spot for shooters who need a compact, handy platform without sacrificing ballistic efficiency. The red maple furniture paired with a black phosphate receiver creates a classic, durable aesthetic that works equally well on the range, at the bench, or in the field.

The VSKA's semi-auto action keeps it accessible to a broad range of shooters—hunters, sport shooters, and plinkers alike—while the RAK-1 trigger provides a clean break that rewards good fundamentals. At 7.8 pounds, it's light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to manage recoil and run straight. The adjustable lever safety is familiar to anyone who's handled traditional AK-platform rifles, making the manual of arms intuitive and fast. The integrated shark fin grip is compliant with California's regulations while still offering solid ergonomic control and a comfortable purchase.

You get an A2-style front sight post for reliable, quick target acquisition, and the rifle ships configured with a chevron muzzle brake to manage the snap of the 7.62x39mm cartridge. The 10+1 magazine capacity works with standard AK magazines, and the all-steel receiver with black phosphate finish is built to handle years of use. Whether you're building your first AK-platform rifle or rounding out a collection, the VSKA delivers the familiar handling and rugged reliability the platform is known for, without the premium price tag.
