Century U-Fix-it Guns

Angry White Trash · 12-22-2013, 08:52 AM

I have only purchased one U-Fix-it gun from Century and it didn't need any fixing at all. It was an old Chinese milled SKS with threaded barrel. The upper handguard had a crack in it. Bore was perfect, bluing was well worn and furniture looked beat up. It shot great right out of the box! For $174 shipped, I was very happy with my purchase.

Question, What other U-Fix-it guns are a good buy on Century's website at the moment? I'm considering a Czech Mauser K-98 chambered in 7.62x51.

Please share your U-Fix-it stories here (good or bad).

I thought every Century gun was a "you fix it" gun.

I had a century c-91 sporter (b4 clone) that all I had to do was feed..... That is all

I have a Century "U-Fix-It" FAL.

All I got for my money was the upper receiver.

But it runs great, now!

You can almost bet on that.

If it has a wooden stock it has cracks and Century disclaims that in all of their ads.

Only problem I ever had was with an 1895 Steyr. Case sticks in the chamber. I think polishing chamber would probably do the trick but I haven't had time to do it.

I to have been thinking of a K98 in 7.62. Be a nice start to a sporter.

Got me a Century FAL, I made THEM fix it.

My M76 had the magazine sit to low. After some grinding and extending the latch I got it to work.

It shoots great now. 8mm AK, pure joy!! It'll put Greek surplus in one hole @ 100 yards and about just under 2 moa for most else.

Yes, I paid to much for it.

Picked up a 24/47 Yugo 8mm mauser for $49.00. Was a hell of a shooter, good buy, 1 screw missing on band around handguard , and had an extra screw already ! Sweet little rifle !!

The only problem with Century Ufixem's now are the price. Not that many years ago and of course, pre 0bama days, you could get Ufixems for as low as $19 each in some cases. I used to buy 5 packs of Carcano's and Mosin's for under $100. Most only needed minor repairs.

I picked up several wire wrapped Enfield Mk111's for around $30 each. Not a single one required repair work, the only thing I could find missing was the stacking swivel and that's a part missing on almost EVERY Enfield. All were 100% matching numbers with mint bores. I kick myself in the ass for not buying a crate of them.... that and more AKM kits at $79 each.

All water under the bridge since the King Niqqer 0bama came to the thrown.

I bought a few of them. Stay away from the PI markings. I got a couple of SKS's from them years ago that were GI (Good incomplete) both had dark bores, one had a broken safety lever, both missing the cleaning rod and bayonets. Bought one of the PI (Poor Incomplete) to use for parts and it was a waste of time. Looked like someone bled out over it. Parts were so pitted there was little of value on it. A couple of the Vz24/47 rifle that were only missing the cleaning rods. I did get two with bad bores that I am having reberreld to 308win. Some have come in without bolts (I never got one that way but I have read it on a couple of boards) so its a gamble.
