VSKA

F.A.Q.

What is the advantage of a carburized bolt?

The carburized bolt is case hardened to a higher hardness while maintaining sufficient ductility in the core. This bolt benefits from a lower coefficient of friction in the carburized surface which reduces the potential for galling and plastic deformation.

How durable is the trunnion?Production of the VSKA was approved when a sample of rifles were each test-fired to 12,000 rounds with zero trunnion failures and headspace remained within SAAMI 7.62x39mm specification for every gun.

What is S7 steel? The “S” in S7 stands for “Shock Resisting”. This is an extremely durable tool steel widely used in demanding applications such as excavator teeth and jackhammer tips.

How did Century Arms create a test plan for the VSKA?

The test plan was adapted from the U.S. Mil TOP 3-2-045, Reliability and Durability for Semi-Auto Fire qualification.

Does Century Arms abide by a recognized quality standard? Yes. Century Arms became ISO 9001:2015 Certified in July of 2018.
