In my opinion you're 100% wrong. Now is the best time to buy and buy quick. Get what you can afford and don't look back.

You're wrong that any firearm is 100% reliable, even an AK - though as a rule, they're pretty good.
$530 isn't a bad price for a WASR - jump if you can afford it, unless you think they'll somehow become cheaper in the future. |

Current WASRs are quite decently made, and as about as dependable a firearm to go boom as any. They're even currently configured with nice solid wood stocks instead of the laminated plywood ones. I'd say grab one while ya can, 'cause you just never know, ya know. - OS |

A piston driven Ruger is sweet too. Pricey, but it does have the NATO round that will always be around one way or another..... I just got both

I personally don't think the Russian ban will last assuming Russia complies and backs down from shenanigans in Ukraine.
Putin is a psychopath, so who knows, but if he does comply, it would be a foreign policy nightmare for the US not to reverse its sanctions. Now, whether or not the president creates some sort of other BS to ban AK's is another question. Either way, I still wouldn't shell out for a Russian AK when I could buy 2 WASRs or Bulgys. I have enjoyed my WASR. I learned a lot about AK gunsmithing because it was not functioning great when I got it. Back then, Century ran an absolute clownshow of QC. Not sure if it's better or not, but don't crap your sheets if you have a canted FSB or gas block. |

Get the WASR and a crap ton of ammunition and have a blast with it. I've had two so far, no problems out of either though I did trade one to a friend because he wouldn't leave me alone about wanting it. I was lucky enough to pick up one with the Polish wire side folder stock already attached, 3 metal magazines, and roughly 100 rounds for $475 a few months back. All I've done to it was wrapped the side folder in 5/50, put on a MI rail I had laying around, and get a few more magazines. 100% reliable so far, go out and enjoy

You can't cripple a foreign country's business based on said country's behavior and then not lift the sanctions if that country alters its behavior. |

China seems to have "altered its behavior" enough that we allow most everything else to come in from there, but curiously, not any of the most desirable firearms that used to be available. Or any ammo at all. - OS |

"Know of any other firearm/ammo embargoes that have ever been reversed?" Only one guy ever did so, and I don't see another Reagan out there anywhere on the horizon. |
