Are the rifles currently being sold by Century still shipped from the factory with receivers sized for single stack mags or are they standard size now? I seem to recall that Century ground out the inside of the receiver after they arrived in the US at one point. Is that still the case? |
We're fucked.

Bought a 2020 dated WASR in October of 2020 and it definitely had the ground out magwell. I sold that gun a few months ago so I can't take any pictures unfortunately. I was under the impression that current import regs require the gun to come in at least somehow unable to accept double stack mags. That is why the Romanian SAR series (factory double stack magwell) was discontinued before bringing in the WASR series. I will say though, that they did do a good job cutting out the magwell - mags fit without issue or wobble. |

Yes all sporting rifles must be imported in a sporting configuration with a single stack mag well that limits them to only accepting 10 round mags . Once in the US the magwell is opened up and 922R US parts are added to make the gun US Compliant. Romanian WASR  |

I have one of the newer ones, the magwell looked like it was done in a jig -but by hand. The bayonet lug is silver soldered back on, if you didn’t know it -it looks original. I don’t like the wood, it’s too plain and very much looks like blonde pine but it’s harder than that. I paid $699 when I bought it a while back, it’s definitely solid overall. |

My ‘13 WASR cutout wasn’t pretty. Exposed metal where they cut it but at least it’s straight. A few dabs of a Birchwood Casey black touch up pen fixed that. WASRs gonna scratch so if you want pretty, look elsewhere. Mine came with surplus Romanian steel mags and I think that’s what they used as a template cause Romanian surplus mags fit great, zero play. Hungarians and a lot of after market steel mags need filing to fit. My ‘15 Draco pistol came from the factory as a double stack opening and mags fit the same. I’ve also seen at least one newer WASR that came with a Magpul mag and seemed like it was cut a bit tighter based on how my Romys fit. |

I wouldn't worry about the futzing. The US piston seems to be of good quality. |

| my muzzle device says "US", as well as the gas piston. Don't see a C in there. Trigger says TAPCO US as well. I think mine is an older import |
