AK Newbie question
Last week I bought my first AK. It is a WASR-10 with a folding stock and is a lot of fun to shoot.
My question is this: Should the bolt lock back after the last round is fired? If it is supposed to, my gun is broken.

Re: AK Newbie question
Thanks. I'm used to semi-auto handguns and M16's that do lock back.

Re: AK Newbie question
You can get the BHO if you modify your mags or buy BHO mags.

Re: AK Newbie question
The says you know what to do but for benefit of the OP, treat a "click" as a malfunction and in the case of an AK, perform a magazine exchange.
Since AK's rarely malfunction, a "click" is most likely a depleted magazine. If it is in fact a failure to fire, cycling the bolt carrier upon exchanging magazines will usually extract the "bad cartridge" and chamber a round from the new magazine.

Re: AK Newbie question
I bought a Yugo AK underfolder, and only use Yugo mags. I really like the BHO feature using these mags. My other semi auto rifles have that feature and that's what I wanted in an AK.

Re: AK Newbie question
Look around, there are lots of different ways to have to do a bolt hold open, to make your mags like the yugo ones. Havent done it myself yet, I just figure when it stops going bang, and its been about 30 rounds, it's time to change mags.
