| So I picked up a WASR 10 recently and just got around to shooting it. After only about 3 rounds it jammed up and after taking it down noticed the ejector was bent up slightly impeding the movement of the bolt. after further inspection it seems that the bottom side of the ejector is dremmeled down a bit to much making it somewhat weak. Not sure why century arms would do this, maybe because the new bolt wouldn't clear the old ejector? In any case would there be any way to strengthen the ejector or possibly reform it, or am I just fucked. https://imgur.com/a/0Pz4yxq |

Was this bought new? If so send it back! That is bad! The ejector will eventually peen, or worse break off! If it’s not factory new someone bubba’d it up good. It can be fixed with a brass block and weld it up. Then carefully file/grind it back into shape. Just be careful about the heat when welding it up. You’ll have to keep the heat low and just do very small welds to build it back up. Don’t get it too hot or you’ll loose temper and it’ll get too soft or too hard. |
