Certified WASR rifles

[Warsaw Pact]

Just to put this out there. WASRs aren't bad rifles if you want something to plink with and they do have the cool military look- however with some places it can be hit or miss with quality (trigger, cants, wood finish, etc). All valid concerns.


I saw Hendersondefense offers hand-picked WASRs with finished wood.

This looks interesting- again, just to put some more options out there.

I'm glad you brought this up, I don't think anyone has ever mentioned anything about WASRs, let alone AKs, here. Good job!

WASR10 are the cheapest AK you can buy and are known for poor finishes and canted sites. they are built to only accept 10 rd mags but century opens up the magwell so they can accept standard 30 rd mags. while they are not pretty with their rough finish and plain wood they do work and go bang when you pull the trigger. back before nobama was elected you could pick one up for about 350 +/-.

i'm actually very well aware of what they are.

If your handy with a Dremel, and you watch the 922 parts count, go for the low-cap to save the bux.

But I would suggest you have a few different types of hi-cap mags available - and test fit each as you go. Some steel mags fit better than others, while poly or bakelights fit differently as well.

You want to grind-out to the happy medium for all, for fit and function.
That way you can readily buy extra mags in the future with a reasonable sense that they will fit and function.

Also - go slow and easy, you don't want to over-grind.

Edit:
Before dropping a dime on a new WASR, check the classifieds; folks seem to be dumping AKs these days.

thanks. i just hate how duhnams has aks and is the only place i can find that has 5.45 without special order but they dont have any ak mags . im going tonight to put 250 down on the wasr. im not to handy with a dremel but my dad sure is. the only bad part is that im gonna have to order hi caps and wait for them before i can do anything. thanks
