Get one of these instead, and use regular AR mags with your WASR3. You'll want AR2KU223.

I've been having a hard time finding Weiger magazines in stock. I was getting them from Apex gun parts but they're sold out.

yeah i was having a hard time finding weiger mags to. only place that has them is a place called akparts .net or something like that i forget they wanted 49$ a piece for romie weigers screw them. i have 5 romie weigers and wanted a couple more but not at that price. i have a slr 106 and use circle 10 mags. so i got to thinking why cant i use these mags in my wasr-3 well i can. the black circle 10 30 rounders anyways with only a little fitting they pop in and out like the weigers. the smoke 20s are still a little to tight to be tacticle but at least now both my 5.56 ak's can use the same magazines and the black circle 10's are mil-spec and redely avaible midway has them for $26.99 with very resonable shipping hope this help's

My chinese 223 mags worked fine after I filed the back just a hair.

I'm gonna pull the trigger on a Promag the next time my friend does a Midway order. For $15, it's worth the risk.

The Weiger's really are the best option for WASR-3's. Sometimes they pop up on GunBroker, so keep an eye out there. I was fortunate enough to stock up several months ago when Apex had them.

I also have several of the ProMag polymer ones from Midway. They would not seat or feed when I first got them, but with some trial and error and a Weiger to compare to, I was able to remove material here and there to get them to function smoothly. The main problem was that the gap between the rear of the feed lips was not cut deeply enough, so the bolt would drag over it and catch. Also, there was too much material on both the front and rear catch preventing it from locking into place, and I had to chamfer the underside of the feed lips to allow the rounds to sit a little higher. This may or may not be the case on your rifle, but for mine each mag took a substantial amount of fitting. Plus, I went over the entire inside with some very fine grit sandpaper and removed the molding lines and any burrs I came across.

After all this, however, I am pleased to say that they now function perfectly. I took several of them to the range a few months ago and came back with zero malfunctions. I wouldn't want to depend on them lasting forever, since the plastic feed lips will probably fatigue and crack over time, but as range mags or reserve "just-in-case" mags, they will work fine.

Glad to hear your ProMags didn't require as much fitting as mine did. Maybe they have changed the design since I bought mine a couple years ago.

Absolutely correct. The ONLY magazine I know of for TOTAL correct function and reliability in the SAR-3 and the WASR-3. Also, for the 5.56 STG-2000 if you remember those rifles - and they weren't all that numerous and not to be confused with the STG-2003 which was 7.62. Hunt until you can find a few. Three of them would probably do you for a good while unless you are shooting a very lot.

Wow, that's a little ridiculous. I know they're tough to find and all, but jeez. I don't think I've paid more than $40/ea for any of mine, and I thought that was pushing it.
