Tired of WASR Wobbels?

Hahn · 04-22-2008, 12:35 AM

Just thought I mention that I bought a Bulgarin polymar 40 rnd mag. and it fits perfectly in my wasr10/63. May never use the tin ones agian. The Bulgarian fits just right. At the bottom end of mag it may wobble a 16th inch even less in reciever. Any tighter and I'd be struggling to get it in at all. If you can lay your hands a Bulgarian poly mag. try it at least. Besides it's 10 more rounds of joy over those rusty tin 30 rounders. They load up so much smoother too. They do cost about $32.00 were I live but worth evey cent if you hated the WASR Wobbles as mush I did. lol

Never had a problem with standard-issue magazines wobbling in my SLR. In fact, I bought a couple polymer mags (Promag and Bulgarian-issue), and they've presented more problems (too tight) than the metal ones.

My AES-10 (Romanian long-barreled WASR-10, essentially), has a bit of wobble, but with the 30 rounder in, it only wobbles about half an inch both left and right at the bottom of the magazine. Plus, I intend on only using the 10-rounders I bought for it (as a Designated Marksman-type weapon) and they don't really show any noticeable wobble, due to them being only about 3-4" long passed the mag-well.
