I don't think comparing your M4 to your WASR is right to begin with. Think of it this way if you owned a Colt M4 you would expect it to be a cut above all other ARs right? Now if you owned a Russian or Bulgarian AK you would expect it to be a better AK than some of the others made out there today.
Some times you find out just how much the little things matter when producing a product, that's why Colt has such high Quality Control on their rifles. As I'm sure Russian and Bulgarian AK manufactures have.
You have a Romanian Wasr not exactly held in the highest reguards to AK collectors and shooters, but a great rifle in it's own right. And and even better AK to get you introduced to the world of AKs.
While the WASR rifle I own has lived up to every since of the word I'm sure there is probably some minor defect in your rifle.
You mentioned FTF, that can be helped by new mags I like the chinese myself, bulgarian polymer mags are great too.
But it seems like you're having alot more messed up shit happening to your rifle.
I would say try to replace any part you feel is not working properly. But when you think about it, since it is a WASR you may just be pouring more money into it than you should be.
I would agree with the others you got a lemon. If you want to you could sell it at a gun show probably, if you wanted. I would be honest in telling buyers the problems you had with it.
Or you could consider it a nice little project to work on. Get to the know the AK better.
My money try it again handpick your next AK, I think you just got a bad one. You know "Shit happens" . Best of luck to ya.
