MT Predator 2,294 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Pretty sure this has been posted before. Not really a Draco specific problem IMO. Guy on the video states it was assembled by Century. Dracos are assembled in Romania and imported by Century to the best of my knowledge. Someone correct me if I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitetrashrn 74 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think the only contact Century would have on the Draco would be to instal a G2 trigger on some of them. Mine didn't have one but I have heard of others saying they had them in the pistol. Other than that No tuchie nuthing. Under the right set of circumstances any gun could fly apart.

frick 3 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looks like an out of battery fire. From the damage to the locking lugs on the edges/rear, and way the trunnion blew out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guy on the video states it was assembled by Century. Dracos are assembled in Romania and imported by Century to the best of my knowledge. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I didn't watch the video, but if he said it was assembled by Century, then it wasn't your standard Draco. Like you said, Draco's are assembled in Romania, and Century just imports them. They don't have to monkey with them, as they're not bound by 922r. The G2's being installed was the result of some sort of FCG defect in the Romanian set from a batch, but as far as I know, G2's aren't put into all Draco's. During my research here and elsewhere, I think it was someone here who said that Century also sells an AK pistol that they assemble themselves. So maybe this kaboom'ed pistol was one of those. I still wouldn't hesitate to buy a Draco. You can cover your ass buy buying locally and inspecting it yourself, or ordering from a company that will guarantee it if it has problems.

Horse 39 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Interesting. My guess is that he tried to jack another round in the gun after he was bump firing etc. Good thing about AK's: That beat the piss out of the reciever, but the owner was unhurt.

PVT Pablo 25 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I can't take this video seriously. Seems like he doesn't know much about dracos in the first place. First off that wierd "dent" is on all dracos. Second, like everyone said century is an importer. If hes having this much trouble with terms, its not to hard to assume he would have trouble with the firearm in general. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
7N6Wolf 61 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I don't know what caused that Draco to apparently fire out of battery, but being an AK variant, Draco pistols are extremely reliable. I have not had a single issue with mine and it is pretty accurate for having such a short barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike12345 18 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) The locking lug could have broken the cast metal trunnion like he said under normal operation. I'll bet case head seperation/broken case. They should have fired proof loads at the factory that would find weak metal. Edited January 11, 2011 by mike123456 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
