Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Century Arms C93 chambered in 5.56 NATO(.223 Rem) is a semi-auto rifle assembled by Century using a mix of surplus military components and new American-made parts. The result is a semi-auto copy of the HK93 with a control set and appearance like the original but at a much more affordable price.
The C93's sheet steel upper receiver is easily identified as a new component thanks to stampings on the right side of the magazine well. The front trunnion is welded in place to support the 16.25" barrel. The muzzle is fitted with a removable flash hider held in place with a spring clip. Above the barrel is the sheet metal support tube for the recoil assembly. A forward folding charging handle, located on the left side, allows right-handed operators to maintain a shooting grip. Pulling the charging handle all the way to the rear and tipping it upward slightly locks the bolt in the open position. With a fresh magazine installed, giving the locked open charging handle a little downward slap allows the bolt to slam shut. The factory sight system consists of a hooded post in the front and a twist knob aperture sight at the rear which is both height and windage adjustable. The right side round magazine release button is located on the magazine well where it can be operated by the trigger finger. The safety selector is on the left side of the polymer trigger housing.
This example will ship with a total of 2 magazines as pictured above!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Like the HK93, the C93 employs a roller-delayed blowback action which has notable differences when compared to the direct gas impingement system of the AR-15 or the gas piston system of the AK-47. The bolt is mounted in a bolt carrier group supported by a single round wire spring and steel rod recoil assembly. When the action is closed (ready to fire) the bolt is secured in its forward position by a pair of steel rollers which fit into small cutouts in the chamber. As the gun fires, all of the expanding gasses produced by the cartridge are directed though the barrel which in turn drives, or blows, the cartridge case directly back against the bolt. While the rifle’s internal pressure levels are at their highest the bolt remains locked in the closed position. When the pressure drops as the bullet and gasses exit the muzzle, the tension on the rollers is reduced to the point that they release the bolt, allowing it to open and eject the spent round. This roller lock system has proven to be clean and reliable but it is more technically demanding to build resulting in higher manufacturing costs.
In a market that is currently replete with ARs and AKs, the Century Arms C93 roller-delayed blowback action rifle is an HK-type platform available at a price folks can afford. Although there are not as many accessories or custom components for this gun, it’s rugged and reliable with a useful set of features. It can comfortably fill the same plinking, hunting and self-defense roles as other 5.56/.223 semi-automatic combat rifles in its class.
