No Romanian rifles in 5.56/223 are being imported at this time.
Gunbroker or a WTB ad in the Equipment Exchange is going to be your source for one at this point. |

That actually saves me a lot of time. Off to check out the EE. I appreciate it. On another note, I hope that 556 AKs keep gaining popularity. My sar 3 is reliable and surprisingly accurate (even with the FSB cant). |

There's always the pricey Bulgarian Arsenal rifles, but no more SAR-3s. The Romanians seemed to have had problems with .223 mechanics anyway.

Better off looking for a Saiga and convert it

Given the choice between the sar-3 or WASR-3 I would much prefer the sar-3.
1. The wasr's are all single stacks that been cut open, and are missing the mag well dimples. Given how mags can be a small issues (finding ones that are a 100% reliable) it's one less potential issue to have to deal with given the Romanian QC or century for that matter on the WASR. 2. In my opinion the SAR-3's fit in find his just a little nicer (by know means a prince  ) compared to the wasr's i have handled. I have owned my sar-3 since 2001 it looks great, I have installed the Romanian threaded FSB and 22mm brake along with reinstalling the romy grip, gas piston (got these items yyeeaarss ago from center fire & K-var) Yet to install the RedStar hammer mine contacts the bolt squarely and always goes boom, it does have BAD trigger slap but this from the disconnect. My mags are the EG 5.45 mags with Robinson Arms followers, I need to address this because 2-3 of them will not always feed the round from the right side, while the one weiger mag is 100% Just can't get over $45 for the circle 10 or $50-$55 for the Weigers  There are always a handful of sar-3 on GB... |

I have a SAR 3 and have used a red star hammer and G2 trigger with no trigger slap. If you don't have a red star hammer, at least check if your firing pin and bolt have peening issues.

I recently bought a new (old stock) WASR-3. I had frequent failure to extract. I replaced the extractor spring and recoil spring with East German parts, now it runs like a raped ape. Still has the trigger slap though.
I'm getting 8MOA with Federal XM855. Is that normal? I can keep my groups half of that with an AR at 100yds, but this thing is a challenge to shoot. |

What is a used one in excellent shape worth right now? I know of one I'm trying to find out if person still has it and I can buy it. The one I found is a wasr 3 with a vertical wood grip forearm.

Wish they were. they were nice rifles and reliable with the correct mags.
As for 8MOA with 855, most of these rifles are likely to be 1:9 and may not particularly like 855. My Saiga shoots 50gr Vmax pills like shit, loves standard 55-62gr and shoots the same as an AR for me. Experiment is key. |
