$5M class action suit filed against Century Arms

Post by OakRidgeStars »

Anyone familiar with AK's has probably seen a safety lever with some over-travel. I've never seen or experienced an ND from safety over-travel, but then I've never pushed the lever up and over the dust cover before. If this suit is successful, which I doubt it will be, someone will now have to design an idiot-proof AK.

Good luck with that. :roll:

Nothing is idiot-proof because idiots are so ingenious.

Gun-crazy? Me? I'd say the gun-crazy ones are the ones that don’t HAVE one.

Wait... there's a safety on an AK?

Frak if I have ever used it!

So.... it is a safety concern that guns fire if the gun's safety isn't on safe?
