Wasr 10

samuel · 10-20-2007, 04:10 PM

I saw in a flier from Dunham's Sports they have a WASR 10 on sale for $279.99.This isnt my line but I thought I would post in case it is a good deal for someone else.They had several other guns on sale.They have a web site but I dont think they sell guns on it. sam.

SilentSoul · 10-20-2007, 04:23 PM

Nice Price, They are on classicarms for 309.95 Romanian Hi cap.

Pred · 10-20-2007, 07:19 PM

For $280, I'm guessing it's a low cap version. No big deal though, you just need to open up the mag opening enough to accept high cap mags. The problem I have with spending $300-$350 on a WASR-10, is that for $100 more I can have a MAK-90, one of the Egyptian AK's, or even a Yugo underfolder. All three of these are far above a WASR-10.

JohnRaven.exe · 10-20-2007, 07:31 PM

Actually, the one we have for sale is a high-cap

(I just got off work from Dunham's lol)
Not a bad price at all, but I agree with Pred... Its worth the extra couple of bucks to get a nicer one.

SwedeSteve · 10-20-2007, 08:55 PM

I love the competitive talk about WASR/MAK90/Yugo etc.! If you pull the trigger and it goes boom, neither a target, nor a bad guy will care how much it cost!

Pred · 10-21-2007, 10:53 AM

No, but you'll care if your WASR-10 is shooting 14" to the right and my MAK-90 is shooting 1" low at 200 yards.

SwedeSteve · 10-24-2007, 09:55 PM

It's all mechanics Pred! If you're shooting 14" off you need glasses, better ammo and 2 or 3 AA meetings to boot! Any weapon platform has it's limitations of course. But 2 like weapons built on the same design should be able to hit the same targets.

tommy · 10-24-2007, 10:28 PM

i never had a gun shoot that far off .loland i got a wasr10.

I've seen WASR-10's, strait from the FFL, be more then a foot off at 100 yards. Front sights off center, whatever, but it does happen.

Not all weapons of the same design are created equal or shoot equal. If you think they do then maybe you should check out the AA meeting.

i agree with pred on this one , even all builder's suppose to have a barrel align tool to make sure barrel is dead center with front trunion,no all do this step,also the receiver's are kind of clumpsy.best way to check is when insert magazine and has a lot of side's movement and rock's .also make sure the flash hidder/slant brake etc is align with barrel,saw a few hidders' that are off center

Rave · 10-25-2007, 10:01 AM

For a while,during the Klinton bans many AK's had tilted front sights,easy to see if you hold the gun straight the fromt sights would be of several degrees,as much as 3/8" from vertical.
It seems that it was a passing problem,but older guns may have it.

SwedeSteve · 10-25-2007, 10:42 AM

So a MAK90 couldn't come through from the factory with a canted sight or barrel? As I said, 2 like weapons...

I think we (I) could argue semantics forever. The AK is what it is! New technologies and processes improve upon the design, yet you cannot deny it's original intent. To provide massed fire superiority in the assault. That it does wonderfully, and is pretty much "Joe proof".

I love 'em all and would love to own one of each!

tommy · 10-25-2007, 10:48 AM

about the mags fitting tite. my sar 1 mags have a slight bit of play in them but my wasr10 the mags fit in the reciever nice and snug. not every gun comes from the builder with the sights already set .if you take an ak47 out the box and exspect it to be dead on or close to the next one your gonna be disapointed. you have to adjust all the sights on every gun you buy.

SwedeSteve · 10-25-2007, 11:17 AM

I agree, you get what you get. It's up to you to squeeze out what you can!

Wait, what? No...... No AK should come from the builder with the barrel, front sight, or any other part of the gun crooked. For that matter, no weapon should. Look, here is the facts. The WASR-10 is the BOTTOM of the barrel AK. It's the cheapest you can buy, and usually the lowest quality. Does it go bang every time? Yes. Will it take high cap mags? Yes. Is it accurate? Depends on your luck. The WASR-10 is not a factory high cap AK. I know this because you will not find a WASR-10 with the dimples on the side. The mag opening is opened up at the factory by guys who don't care. Why you ask? Easy, look at a majority of the WASR-10's in circulation, most have been done by Century Arms. Some are perfect, others are not, there is a HUGE difference between a few examples. They buy the Romanian kits, build them on US made receivers, and then sale them. Some builders are good, some are not, but their quality control is crap. True, it has got better, but not much. A MAK-90 was imported, and then marked by a US importer, so the rifle was not put together here. I know this because my MAK-90 says made in China. Don't believe me, here ya go:

azguy · 10-29-2007, 10:54 AM

I agree with Pred on this one, great thread. I have a WSAR 10; under 75 yards "spot-on", beyond 150 yards, I may not even hit the target. 12 out of 20 rounds will find themselves somewhere on the target the other 8 who knows. That said with a scope at 225 yards I can tighten my groups, but I will still have a few stray rounds, one or two. Using white/green box Remington ammo I get better results than with Wolf. 14'' off as a blanket statement a bit of an overstatement 6'' to 8'' off is a fair assesment.

Put simply, no. Your best bet for price would be either finding one on gunbroker.com for a good price or buying one with one 30rd mag from Classic Arms Inc. for around $299 + shipping. It won't have all the accessories or bayonet lug as it's a "post-ban" rifle, but you can get one with bayo lug, bayonet, sling, extra mag, oiler bottle, slant muzzle break and all that for $329 + shipping.

GlockMeister · 01-22-2008, 02:43 PM

Try and find a place that will give you/her once she verifies it is for you, that you are indeed in the military and a dealer may give you a military discount.

The dealer I go through gives both police and military discounts I believe.

Anyhow, good luck and please, stay safe and be careful over there.
