The area in red is where you want to inspect for any stress cracks.

Free advice is worth what you pay for it. Here's my free advice.

File or grind that area as smooth as you can get it, into a smooth curve. You want to eliminate stress risers where the metal is missing. Stress risers are v-shaped indents or sharp angles that make it easy for cracks to initiate at the point of the v.

After that I'd just forget about it. Do a nice enough job of blending the curves and it will look factory. ish.

When I saw this thread contacted Century because I saw the same thing on my WASR. They informed me that it is normal to see this on a WASR. The mark on mine is a much cleaner edge than yours is though. I wonder if yours is just jagged because the of poor manufacturing.

You have a proven functional AK, go ahead mess with it I double dog dare you!

They emailed me back and said the Trunnion should be replaced.

They said it should be inspected by a gunsmith and possibly change the trunion. Very different that should be replaced.

Looks like a century firearms build. Nothing wrong with it if it functions. When it doesn't it probably wont be from that. Century isn't known for there quality control

Who could have replaced it. I called all over looking for a gunsmith to replace it. Couldn’t find one.

Thank you so much for your interpretation. Extremely helpful.

I believe so. Sounds very familiar, would have to back through my email and phone log. I called a LOT of people last week.

Not that complicated. Run it you won't have an issue.

I got a mix of don’t shoot it, send it back, return it to seller, it’s fine, that’s how they are, just shoot it. Safe to say people like to comment when they really don’t know what they are talking about. For the record though I plan to smooth out the sharp edges and run it. For all of you that had helpful responses, thank you! Unfortunately NES has turned into a typical forum with its fair share of A**h****. It wasn’t always like that.

So basically you took the advice you wanted to hear.

What was not like that? The reason I ended up here was because of the a**h***s and thick skinned nature of NeS
Which has definately changed.

Anyhow - that will teach you to clean a AK again. i kid
