Wasr 10

Walther Gx-1 · 09-10-2006, 09:02 PM

One of the local dealers has recently gotten in a Wasr 10 for $350. I was thinking it was a pretty good deal but was wondering are there any problems with these. I know there not the best quality and i know some of you are going to say that I should get an Arsenal Ak or a Mak 90. But I just want a cheap gun for messin around with. Are they worth it for $350?

If it has a 30 round mag, thats only about 30 bucks over his cost after shipping...a decent deal. odds are it is a century import. I have owned and sold several...you can drag them through the mud...toss em in a river...hit them against a tree....and they will keep on shooting.
The only thing I don't like is the wood forward grip gets pretty darn hot after you rapid fire 10 or 15 rounds.
They ARE a ton of fun and pretty accurate up to 200 meters or so.

I have a WASR-10 and I really like it. Very accurate and very reliable. A MAK-90 is a better gun, but more money. 350 is not a bad deal, and it should come with slant muzzle break, bayonet, 2-30 round mags, cleaning kit, and puch. oh yeah, and brand new. IF it doesn't have all those I would think somethig is up.

If it were me, I'd save up another $100 and get a MAK-90.

I own a wasr-10 and think it is well worth $350 bucks. So far I have had no problems - HOWEVER.

The wasr-10s have a problem with the front sight having a little "cant" to them. Meaning sometimes the front sight is leaning - its not straight up and down on the barrel. The "cant" does not seem to affect accuracy.

The hammer may have a rough spot on it. Sometimes my bolt will get stuck in the rear position and need a little push to help it forward. The rifle needs a stronger recoil spring or some wear on the hammer.

Some of the wasr-10s have had their magazne wells opened up to accept high cap magazines. My rifle can with sharp burrs from the milling process. These burrs had to be removed with a file.

mines worth $350 it works fine it came with a tapco trigger ,2 mags bayo ,cleaning kit, pouch,sling.yeah its worth it.

Pred · 10-07-2006, 08:11 AM

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder about the WASR-10. I might have to pick one up at the next show. If a man was to get a WASR-10, put the Tapco trigger group in it, refinish the wood, and something like a 4x or 6x POSP scope on it, I think it would be a great gun.

billy · 10-08-2006, 06:11 AM

yeah i put the t-6 stock set on mine right away . the wood was crappy and it was too small for me anyway. i also had a bushnell reddot scope layin around so thats on there. now its cool lookin and it shoots fine! oh yeah i put a blackjack buffer in it too..
