9mm WASR

I don’t need it, I don’t want to spend the money right now, there are no reviews on it, yet I find myself intrigued. Thoughts?

Looks likes it’s a PAK/NAK-9 pistol with a 16” barrel And WASR furniture.

I have the PAK-9 it’s fun to shoot, I don’t like the plastic mag well parts. People have reported cracked receivers in the past after a few thousand rounds so hopefully that’s resolved now.

Interesting. I have a WASR i got back in 2009 that I still enjoy taking to the range and is always fun. I think that is why this appeals to me

They are made in the same Cuigr factory the WASR is. I’m a big Romanian AK fan as well and the AK platform in general.

The price is pretty good on this.
I also believe they are making it in .22lr again.

I have an rak9 (rifle 9mm ak) atlantic firearms had sold them for almost 2yrs and as far as I can tell this is the same thing with different furniture.

You can either buy it now or wait until they stop importing them and the price jumps up a few hundred.

WASR's are decent rifles, but damn that looks weird. You might just want to get the pistol variant with the brace.

I dunno.
I've been spoiled by the "comfort and convenience" of lightweight AR15s vs the weight and "clunkiness" of AK47s.
"In the beginning" I was an AK guy, but the more I built ARs, the less I found myself wanting to grab that heavy-assed AK if I needed it.
(It's one of the reasons I built a x39 AR15)

I mention this because when I think of a 9mm "anything", I think it should ideally be lightweight, and compact.
Hell, in retrospect, I think my own 9mm AR15 carbine was somewhat of a waste. If I were to do it all over, I would have built a 9mm pistol vs a carbine - and I LOVE my carbine.

Now, if I had the money to buy anything that seems cool, I'd buy one, but it really makes no sense to me to have a big-assed AK47 - that shoots 9mm.

Some people will want one. I don't.
