The MAK is definitely a few steps better than a Romanian. If they are priced similar, go with the MAK for sure.

as someone who is about to pull my hair out over feeding issues with my wasr, i would buy anything else.
if joebob down the street built one out of spare tractor parts and scrap metal, i would buy that over the pos wasr. |

I am picking up the Mak tonight after work. It was actually cheaper than the wasr. Only thing the owner is unsure of if it is a straight or slant cut receiver. I am hoping it is a straight.

Got the AK picked up and it was in great shape. Only thing I didn't like is that the safety was notched for bolt hold open. I found a NOS norinco safety lever and got it on the way. How difficult are those levers to switch out?

How difficult are those levers to switch out? This simple: 1. Safety check weapon 2. Field strip by removing recoil spring and bolt/bolt carrier 3. Place rifle on safe. 4. Now, rotate safety/selector further up to almost vertical. It will dis-engage itself. 5. Pull safety/selector out. 6. Install new safety/selector in reverse order, being sure to put the loop end of the shepherd's hook wire over the stud on the end of the safety/selector 3:25 Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JpQPC18hU8 |

The MAK is superior, although there is really noting wrong with the WASR. The only real advantage to the WASR is it has the "evil" features, bayonet lug, threaded barrel, and standard stock. I would definitely un-ban the MAK, but it will cost a little bit of cash.
