which pistol grip is this?

Seen it on a grossly overpriced S12 at a local store. $1289! Looks like all it has is the pistol grip and a Tapco FCG. unbelievable...

Anyway here's the pic

Century Arms uses that style grip on many of their "builds."

That makes sense, it's a century gun. Not sure what makes it $1300 though!

Century builds usually don't have the finger grooves, mine didn't. Otherwise, yup, it looks a lot a like.

 

Mine got transplanted by a Hogue double fast. The stock grip was the worst I've ever felt.

 

edit: Century does S12 conversions now?

Century uses that PG on many Yugo underfolders, AK74's & Polish tantal builds.

Isn't it a Yugo pistol grip off like an MB70 (no idea if that's a real model) or some shit?

I did some more research...

 

My Century Yugo M70AB2 (Underfolder) had a very similar grip, but not that exact one. No finger grooves. It looks like they build them both ways. I will reiterate that my stock grip was GARBAGE and actually hurt your hand just to grip it firmly. For what it's worth, my Century Yugo is as good as any I've seen and the price certainly was right at the time ($505 OTD w/2 yugo mags).

 

So, is Century actually doing conversion work on these S12 or just importing one of the models that has the FCG in the correct location and making them 922R compliant by swapping a few parts?

 

edit: My mistake... My underfolder is an M70AB2, not T

Century is doing the builds, don't know if they have contractors doing the work or if it is being done in house

 

Look in the photo and you can see the "Century C" mark, designating it as an "American " part

My Century Yugo underfolder has the same grip. I like it.

[dubya 198]

The grip definitely looks more comfortable than it actually is.

I have the same grip on my Century conversion. I have small hands and I love it. The only part I hate is the stock, as it has less surface area than a 10/22. Kick Lite gets ordered from the e-store on Monday!
