Century Arms’ Thunder Ranch AK-47 developed in conjunction with Clint Smith
Davidson’s is the exclusive distributor for Century Arms’ new Thunder Ranch AK-47 developed in conjunction with Clint Smith.
Clint Smith, President, and Director of Thunder Ranch is a Marine Corps veteran of two infantry and Combined Action Platoon tours in Vietnam. His experience includes seven years as a police officer during which he served as head of the Firearms Training Division as well as being a S.W.A.T. member and precision rifleman.
In 1993, Thunder Ranch, Inc. opened to show not only innovative training but numerous range designs and functions of a type not seen before in one facility.
Clint worked with Century Arms to develop the Thunder Ranch AK-47 rifle. In his words, “The reason I picked Century is because it’s an affordable rifle and I want affordable equipment that functions for my clients”.
The Thunder Ranch AK features an enhanced safety lever, US Palm Marine Corps red grip, US Palm AK 30 round magazine, walnut furniture, barrel mounted pic rail, engraved Thunder Ranch logo on the right of the receiver, and a Thunder Ranch two-point sling.
“We at Davidson’s are proud to be the sole distributor of this new Thunder Ranch AK from Century. Clint Smith is obviously a no-nonsense ‘it’s gotta work’ kind of instructor who is known throughout the firearms and defensive training world”, said Kane Cannedy, VP of Purchasing for Davidson’s. “Clint obviously stands behind this rifle and so does Davidson’s”.
