Built on a 1.5 mm stamped steel receiver, the VSKA incorporates S7 tool-steel in the carrier, front trunnion, and feed ramp, with a carburized 4140 bolt to enhance critical wear surfaces. The manganese-phosphate finish provides a uniform, protective coating across major components.
The 16.25 in 4150 chrome-moly barrel has a 1:10 RH twist and a threaded muzzle (14x1 mm LH), offering standard AKM compatibility for devices that match this thread pattern. The bore condition is excellent, with sharp rifling that supports consistent performance.
Furniture and controls are classic and practical: a side-folding metal triangle-pattern buttstock, black polymer pistol grip with checkered panels, and a polymer lower handguard with vents; the gas tube is exposed with no upper handguard. Controls include a paddle-style magazine release and a right-side safety/selector lever. The rifle accepts standard double-stack AK 7.62x39 magazines and has a 30+1 capacity.
Iron sights include a protected front post and a tangent rear sight leaf for adjustable elevation. The RAK-1 enhanced trigger group provides a clean, predictable pull. Receiver markings include VSKA and Century Arms, Georgia VT, underscoring its U.S. manufacture and model lineage. Length of pull is 12.0.
