James Reeves of TFB TV released a video on Clint Smith’s collaboration with Century Arms for a(nother) Thunder Ranch branded AK. Right out the gate James asked why Clint chose to collaborate with an AK manufacturer with a shitty reputation, Clint’s response of “we’ve had good luck with them” is less than a stellar response.
After all, Century Arms is
not known for their QC. Clint and his other employee (Jack?) doesn’t explain how they’re ensuring Century doesn’t fuck it up besides stating they’ve yet to hear that any of the guns have gone back for warranty. The comments under the video are many variations of “this seems to be bad idea and harms my view of Thunder Ranch.” Maybe Century has their shit together and there won’t be any poor QC and this is a fairly decent value firearm for the guy who wants a turn key solution to the AK platform, but time will tell. At the very least James, who normally sucks Clint’s dick any chance he gets, is very softly distancing himself by maintaining a small degree of skepticism. If you want to take a gamble you can do so for the low low price of $1,000 bucks.
