I have one. Decent gun. Cool round. If its a Century build, check to make sure it's the right barrel for that round. Century had a problem awhile back (a few years) of putting 5.56 mm barrels on them, which caused keyholing of 5.45 ammo.
I like mine. Shoots good.

I like the cartridge. However, I went with the AR-15 upper instead. Once I obtained dedicated 5.45x39 magazines -- all was fine.

thanks for the Great Info. Also found out some past guns had canted front sight (factory fixed under warranty). Also also imported chrome lined used barrels verses US non-chrome.
Anyone know who is manufactures this firearm? Some Net reviews say Century another said Interarms. May have been older import or several Mfg doing the same gun.
