Century Arms Vska Tc 762x39 7.62x39 16.5" 30-Round Rifle

The Century Arms VSKA TC 7.62x39 16.5" 30-Round Rifle delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in one of the most proven intermediate cartridges in service today. Built for shooters who demand a lightweight, affordable platform for training, sport shooting, or preparedness, this rifle combines the time-tested 7.62x39 Soviet cartridge with modern ergonomic design. The 16.5-inch barrel strikes an optimal balance between velocity, handling, and portability—ideal for those transitioning from or supplementing AR-platform rifles.

The VSKA TC employs a long-stroke piston operating system proven across millions of rounds in military and civilian use, ensuring consistent bolt cycling and reduced maintenance intervals compared to direct-impingement designs. At 9.38 pounds, the rifle remains controllable during extended shooting sessions while maintaining sufficient mass for recoil management and shooter recovery between shots. The 30-round magazine capacity provides practical firepower for range work or defensive scenarios, and the 7.62x39 round offers proven ballistic performance with lower recoil than larger intermediate cartridges, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate.

This rifle benefits law enforcement trainers, sport competitors, and civilian shooters seeking a cost-effective, reliable platform for high-volume shooting without the expense of 5.56 NATO ammunition. The compact 39-inch overall length and moderate weight make it suitable for shooters of varying stature and strength levels. Standard AK-pattern magazines and ammunition remain widely available and affordable, supporting long-term shooting programs and training regimens. The VSKA TC integrates seamlessly into existing 7.62x39 ammunition supplies and magazine inventories.
