The VSKA (Vermont Stamped Kalashnikov) is a U.S.-built AKM-platform rifle with a 1.5 mm stamped steel receiver and a durable manganese phosphate finish. It is chambered in 7.62x39 with a 30+1 capacity and uses the long-stroke gas piston system.
The 16-inch 4150 chrome-moly barrel features a 1:10 twist and is threaded 14x1 LH with a factory-installed slant compensator. The bore is clean with excellent rifling, matching its noted accuracy potential for this caliber and platform.
Critical components include an S7 tool-steel front trunnion, feed ramp, and bolt carrier, and a carburized 4140 bolt. The Century RAK-1 enhanced trigger provides a clean break, and a manual safety selector controls operation.
American maple wood furniture defines the look and handling, with a fixed stock, rubber buttpad, and rear sling swivel. Matching maple handguards include a palm-swell lower, and the checkered black polymer pistol grip offers a secure hold. The rifle retains classic AKM sights with a hooded adjustable front post and a tangent-leaf rear.
Overall length is 37.25 inches, with an approximate weight of 7.5 lb and a 13.5-inch length of pull. A cleaning-rod channel is present (rod not installed). Receiver markings include "CENTURY ARMS 7.62 X 39 MM GEORGIA, VT."
