When the selection becomes low also obviously price is driven up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"506\" title=\"'Project 74' - 100% US-Made AK74 in 5.45mm - Century Arms - SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cia-ak-74.jpg\" alt=\"'Project 74' - 100% US-Made AK74 in 5.45mm - Century Arms - SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-124129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cia-ak-74.jpg 851w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cia-ak-74-400x238.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cia-ak-74-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cia-ak-74-768x457.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So we wanted to control our own destiny,&#8221; he said. Now Century is focused on making their own AKs, not just importing them, and making them right. CIA is keen to produce quality, durable, reliable and affordable AKs starting with one of the more in-demand AK platforms, the AK-74.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AK-74 is much less common in the US than the many AK-47-based guns on the market. Chambered for 5.45x39mm, the AK-74 and its derivatives shoot softly and have ballistics similar to 5.56 NATO and offer better reliability with AK-pattern actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The VSKA Project has really been amazing for us,&#8221; Ruanala said. CIA&#8217;s VSKA is CIA&#8217;s in-house AK series following the C39 series, also chambered for 7.62x39mm. Project 74 will be the first scale production of 100 percent American-made 74-pattern AKs down to the cleaning rod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/century-debuts-tp9-elite-sc-concealed-carry-pistol\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"project-74-100-us-made-ak74-in-5-45mm-century-arms-shot-show-2020\" title=\"'Project 74' - 100% US-Made AK74 in 5.45mm - Century Arms - SHOT Show 2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Century (opens in a new tab)\">Century Debuts TP9 Elite SC Concealed Carry Pistol<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIA AK-74 is optics ready with a side rail, built on the standard AKM stampings with forged trunnions and a nitride finish. The Project 74 rifles are all built to military specifications and are compatible with standard and aftermarket AK-74 parts and accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To vet Project 74 Century International Arms will be bringing in experts from the AK scene in order to critique their manufacturing standards and quality control. If you have been waiting for an incredible 5.45&#215;39 AK, Century&#8217;s Project 74 looks like it&#8217;s going to deliver&#8211;just as soon as CIA knows they&#8217;ve got it all right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centuryarms.com\/\" campaign=\"CenturyArmsProject74SHOT\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">CenturyArms.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_SHOT2020\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!
