I remember someone complaining that the safety on their 100% American AK not working. Guess he was not alone.
Dianne Feinstein is going to love this. More ammo for the antigunners.
Well, people who hate them for bad products might end up getting a pound of flesh afterall. Actually, 5 million pounds.
Be careful hating them though. I feel they have done a lot to introduce people to affordable firearms.

It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?
Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "
So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
Agreed. The safety levers on mine rotate all the way up like that, too, but I've never had an issue. Keep that trigger finger off the bang switch and point it in a safe direction - and don't rotate the safety lever upward where it's not supposed to go...Originally Posted by Ruskiegunlover

Just another example of save me from myself nanny statism.
Every AK I've ever seen can rotate the safety up past the stop (when the dust cover is removed). That's how it's removed.
And, anyone DEPENDING on the safety to prevent the weapon from firing is a fool who shouldn't be handling a fireram.. There is no such thing as an "accidental discharge". Any unexpected firing of the weapon is a NEGLIGENT discharge.

THIS.....how do you expect to assemble or disasemble?
This reeks of a gun control .org, they can't sue for criminal use so they go after "manufacturing flaws". As has been stated this is every ak with the dust cover off.

A backdoor way to ban & confiscate every AK in the US?

No one mentioned the obvious! You would never fire an AK with out the Receiver Cover on it.

With all the hate directed at Century, and granted some was earned, it is thanks to Century that I have several long barrel Norincos and Poly Techs that Century sneaked in from Canada.
As for the safety rotating above the receiver, like others have said, with the receiver cover removed, that is how you remove the safety to get the trigger group out. The problem that I have seen is the safety when rotated into the safe position does not contact the lugs on the trigger so it isn't locked in place.
In one of his several AK Videos from Paladin Press, I recall Gabe Suarez was talking about how the AK Rifle could be fired with the Upper Receiver Cover removed, and He showed on the Video, how it could happen. like the Photo in the first Thread on some AK's but not all of them. Paul

I got ejected from a 3 gun shoot because I had that happen on my n-pap (with the cover on mind you) and the movement of the safety caused the gun to fire (one hand was on the handguard and the other was on the safety, so no finger was near the trigger).
Holy crap! I have 2 pistols that don't even have a safety lever....should i sue Glock ?
Actually, an AK can be fired without the dust cover. It's not a good idea, but it does work.

Well I have some real DOGSHIT that I bought from Century. Some MISR rifles, Some FALS that are unshootable, some HK91 clones that are not safe to fire, ugh. You never know.....

After today, it's all historical.
My DDI has the F/A safety on it. But because I'm not a complete retard I don't rotate my safety lever up past the dust cover, and check my chamber before doing a disassembly. Non issue.

I would be willing to bet this is just the antis attacking from a different direction.
