Overview

The Century Arms Draco is the classic Romanian AK pistol entry point: a compact 7.62x39 host with traditional AK controls, wood handguards, and a stockless pistol configuration. It is best treated as a compact AK-pattern range and defensive host rather than a fully modernized tactical rifle out of the box.
