If having dimples is important just so you can look at it then I would think the money would be better spent on a Russian AKM kit and having it built on a 74u LLC receiver. But, this is just my opinion, or course. |

OK, maybe his original idea about buying a ready made WASR (that has an excise tax paid on it) is taking it a little too far, BUT he is on to something here - buying a Romy kit with a US barrel and then bending a proper AKM receiver would be money better spent than a WASR (IMO).
Its like the Draco - you can buy a Draco (if you can find one), SBR it, and you have a true AKM receiver instead of the flat sided WASR style. I'm in the process of my first build and those dimples have a lot to do with it. I'm no AK virgin, I have owned both a WASR and SAR1 and the SAR1 style receiver is worth having. I have since sold my SAR1 (lack of threads and bayo lug were too much) and have decided to tailor make one |

Because my friend offered to buy it and, all things considered, moving forward with a build sounded more appealing. I end up with a 12" threaded barrel (I understand NFA), a sterile receiver (cept for my trust name, location, and SN), and a stock made the way I want. While the threads and lug played a very large role, there were other contributing factors. When its all done though, I have a Romanian AK with a dimpled receiver which is kind of where I started from. |

Better off leaving it how it is or sell it and spend the money you would have spent on a receiver, transfer, and rivets on another AK with dimples. I run Tapco mags in my WASR. They fit tight and don't wobble. I run steel mags in my other AKs. |

My original idea was to have a quaility reciever for the wsar. The dimples are asthetic thing that I liked but not the main reason I thought about doing the change. I already own several other(arsenal) ak's and was just thinking it may be something unique to do to a gun I paid very little for.

For that type of money you can but a NDS Receiver and a parts kit and build one... If your getting a WASR and taking it apart to put it on a new receiver your just asking for more work and you will have to do the paperwork on two guns instead of one..... Or bend your own...
