Description
The VSKA has earned its spot as one of the most popular American-made AKs on the market, and the Trooper edition is Century Arms having some fun with it. The headline feature is the Circle 10 fixed triangle stock, machined from billet 6061 aluminum right here in the USA and finished in MILSPEC Type II hardcoat anodizing. It gives you that classic folding-stock silhouette on a standard fixed-stock trunnion, and with two QD sling points per side and a weight of just 14 ounces, it is more than a looks-only upgrade. Up front, a birdcage flash hider designed specifically for the 7.62×39 cartridge sits on the threaded muzzle, and polymer upper and lower handguards keep the rest of the furniture practical.
Built on the Proven VSKA Platform
Underneath the limited edition trim, this is the same VSKA that made its name on durability. The bolt carrier, feed ramp, and front trunnion are machined from heat-treated S7 tool steel, a material chosen for its shock resistance under hard use. The bolt is carburized 4140 steel, the 16.5 inch chrome-moly barrel runs a 1:10 twist, and the whole thing rides on a stamped receiver like a proper AKM. Century's RAK-1 enhanced trigger group rounds it out with a lighter, smoother pull that also cuts down on trigger slap, which anyone who has run a surplus-grade AK trigger will appreciate.
Thoughtful Touches on the Trooper
Century added an extended magazine release and a bolt hold-open safety lever, two small upgrades that make range sessions noticeably more pleasant. The RH-10 style gas block and sight system keeps the sighting setup familiar, with an adjustable rear and post front that work the way AK irons always have.
Why This VSKA Trooper Stands Out
Limited edition AKs come and go, but this one pairs genuinely useful upgrades with the VSKA's reputation for taking abuse. It feeds from standard AK-pattern magazines and arrives with a 30-round US Palm mag in the box. If you have been waiting for a VSKA with a little extra character, the Trooper is the one to grab before the run is gone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the VSKA Trooper different from a standard VSKA?
The Trooper is a limited edition build on the standard VSKA platform. The big changes are the US-made Circle 10 fixed triangle stock machined from billet aluminum, a birdcage flash hider tuned for 7.62×39, an extended mag release, and a US Palm 30-round magazine in the box. The core rifle, including the S7 tool steel bolt carrier and trunnion, is the same proven VSKA.
Does the Century VSKA Trooper accept standard AK magazines?
Yes, it runs standard AK-pattern 7.62×39 magazines, so surplus steel mags, Magpul PMAGs, and just about everything in between will feed. It ships with one 30-round US Palm magazine to get you started.
Is the triangle stock on the VSKA Trooper a folder?
No, it is a fixed stock. It gives you the look of the classic triangle folder, but it is machined from billet 6061 aluminum and mounted to a standard fixed-stock trunnion. It weighs about 14 ounces and includes two QD sling points on each side.
Can I swap the muzzle device on the VSKA Trooper?
Yes, the barrel is threaded in the standard AK 14×1 LH pattern, so the included flash hider can be swapped for most AK-compatible brakes and muzzle devices. The factory birdcage is designed specifically around the 7.62×39 round, so plenty of owners just leave it in place.
