I picked up an absolutely beautiful C39 a year or two ago, and I love the fit and finish on them. No mag wobble, it shoots just fine, and it just seems to be an overall solid gun.
Browsing the /AKG/ threads every so often, I hear negative passing remarks about them. Why's that?

They're not bad, but they're not great. For that price you'd be better off with a WASR/NPAP + mags and ammo or a DDI

/k/ hates anything american made for no good reason besides "muh slavshit!"

I had a WASR with horrid mag wobble and a slightly canted sight, but I sold it.
What's not great about them? I mean I don't imagine they're the craziest AK's to hit the market but I haven't seen anything that puts them down.

Its a Good rifle but its not a very good ak.
The fact that the bolt and carrier are cast along with gasblock and front sight kinda suck.I still love my c39v2.

Fill me in a little? What do do you mean by caste?
I mean, I assume it's a certain way of forging the metal for the parts.

They are caste steel.If you look closely at your carrier you can see the casting line from the mold the pour the metal in.

American AKs in general have tons of quality issues

Any ak posted on this board that isnt a WASR is immediately put off as shit or over priced. Altho /k/ is a good reference point it is not the end all be all. C39v2's are fine in my opinion, ive shot one a good amount and it functions fine. i heard the v1 had some problems

Is that different from the way Arsenal or DDI do theirs?

They use forged parts.They tend to be stronger and have less imperfections.
