@spartan765 Schiltz is right, and also, the upper handguard/gas block should NOT wobble. Anyone planning to purchase a wasr model rifle, stay the hell AWAY from this video
@hangchangmusser lol a 21 yr old bitch calling others kid. This is youtube moron where normal people try to put up somewhat helpful vids for other people. I also own three and he gives some good points for novices to know what to look for. So again i say stfu and go back to CoD where calling people kid is cool.
@702Pierce i agree...i cannot listen or attempt to take the advice of someone who stares down the barrell of a weapon loaded or not. remember you always and i mean ALWAYS treat a gun as if it were loaded !!
@702Pierce How exactly do you check the rifling then? Ignorantly buying a mishandled POS is more dangerous then checking the condition of your rifle. If you weren't smart enough to eject the clip, empty the chamber and flip on the safety then your an example of natural selection doing its job.
i looked at mine before i got it its got a little wobble but its not noticeable nothing is canted everything was fine and it came with 2 romanian metal mags 20 tullammo fmj rounds (which were gone when i got home) and a bayonet and it was only $400 used great gun i really like it and i plan to coat the foregrip
i really should have watched this before i got my wasr... i must have gotten lucky though. no problems with mine and it shoots amazing. love these guns
The WASR 10 did have some magazine wobble and and the front sight was canted and it did affect the accuracy and i was not pleased with that. the stock could have used some attention with some sanding and some other stain added, the stock was rather rag tag ugly but its an AK...there meant to be throw around and trashed. The WASR 10 is a decent gun if its for causal target shooting or drunk shooting or just thrashin around... for the money its worth it.
well considering that every video that i look for in russian milsurp weapons, your vid has always come up first im just going to sub to you already thanks for the advise and keep on doing what you do
I have found in my time of working on WASRs that about 80% of them are out of headspace, Mostly too little. Its a big fix, but a few headpsace gauges while WASR shopping cant hurt as well.
@Schlitz Where did you get the idea that its not from? I know just about nothing about aks, but I do know that most of the people on here who think, say, they know about them know less than me.
@ttv112233 The only reason the bolt stays back if you gently let go is because it's a crudely built gun. Go ahead, "latch it back" (not latching on anything) and start cleaning. have fun busting your finger in the chamber when the bolt flies forward. The bolt staying back when you baby it is NOT a feature for cleaning. That claim is boarder line trolling, and if he was trolling he was successful.
so normally the gas block should be strait? i was looking at a milled polish variant AK-47 by century and the gas block was a little bit to the left. i didn't buy it i know you said that's not bad if it is a bit but can that cause problems if its not totally strait? i would think a milled AK-47 one wouldnt have to worry about crappy work...
My WASR has performed flawlessly. I probably have put 5-600 rounds of various ammo through it without failure. I did have a very slightly canted front sight post, but I used the front sight adjustment wrench to raise the sight dropping the point of impact. Then I used a 1/4" flat punch to hit the round cylinder (look for the round circle on the blade of the sight post staring at the rifle from the side) toward the side to which the point of impact is off the bullseye. Mine was shooting a fe
Nice job, as a sidebar, I've heard that the WASR 10/63 rifles built on Romarm Cugir SA parts kits are better than those built on Saadu Arms parts kits. Look for 'Cugir' stamped on the receiver. Also, don't buy a WASR built on a parts kit manufactured in the 1980's I am told. Cugir was dismantled by Ceaucesqu for political reasons and they supposedly have quality issues. (mine is dated 1968). Also look on the receiver or trunion for a small triangle with an up arrow stamped on the receiver.
i have used a few wasr's or ak types with just about every thing "wrong" with them. they STILL perform just like any "right" wasr/ak ! very accurate and goes bang every time. you cant beat the price you pay for a wasr. the overall design is next to perfect.
The canted front sight assembly on the WASR-10 is from the way the barrel was notched for the pins. If you can't return the rifle, the best and proper way to fix it is to buy a new barrel and notch it properly. Still cheaper than an Arsenal or Lancaster rifle.
This and the other AK videos are very helpful. My WASR-10 has given me no cause to regret its purchase. Mine has the year 1979 on the front trunnion--is that in fact the production year of the rifle as it is affixed to a Cugir stamped receiver?
The shop where I bought mine sends back crap WASR's to Century, so the only ones they have are the good ones. Oh and btw, the bolt-hold-back on them isn't a design feature, it's the bolt hanging up on a burr on the hammer. It can slam shut at any time and if your fingers are in there it's gonna smart XD
I advise removing the burr when you get the rifle, it'll make the action a lot smoother.
hey thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot. also thanks for making it so fast. i was planning on getting an sks, but i thought for 100 bucks more i could go for an ak, and i especially wanted one when i saw them for 450 bucks. so anyway thanks a bunch!

everyone who gets failure to feeds with WASR's are using hollow points and soft points. From what I've seen and heard the WASR's only feed FMJ's.
