Sent my WASR to Century to fix light firing pin strikes. Got it back Yesterday and i still have the exact same problem. I really dont want to deal with Century again. I have tryied the following to fix the problem. 1. Cleaned and oiled 2. Replaced firing pin 3. Checked to see that hammer was hitting correctly 4. Replaced all Springs with new ones. 5. Tryed another bolt and bolt carrier 6. Used multiple mags, all mags work with my other aks 7. Used wolf, barnaul, winchester and tiger, all result in the same All part Numbers match on WASR, i noticed the problem after 200-300rds. I get 3 light strikes to the firing pin with every 30rd mag. The best i can do is 1 light strike usually with rapid fire. If i set the trigger (hold the trigger and release after fired) each time there are no light strikes.  Help would be much appriciated and thx again people rube |
Nah fellas, what im trying to explain is that when i shoot this rifle during slow fire or rapid fire im receiving multiple rounds that have been hit with the firing pin but not fired. The look like they werent hit hard enough. She bump fires, but i still get light firing pin strikes to the primer. If i hold the trigger, she fires one round, after it fires i release. I can keep doing this, but thats not why have it.  Just loosing my mind..... Yeah hammer is following even during slow fire, because the round didnt fire. |

After thinking about this, it may be that you're pulling the trigger so quickly that the hammer is released before the carrier is fully forward. IF that is happens the hammer might not strike the firing pin with enough force to set of the primer. I cannot be sure that can occur, since I've never encountered such a problem. IF that is the problem, I suggest: 1. Use the rifle as intended. Use the sights, try and hit your target. 2. If #1. is an unacceptable solution, buy a full auto. Belt feds are best for spraying the countryside while converting money into noise. |

rube79, I may not be understanding what you are saying but if you pull the trigger while holding the rifle correctly and the gun goes bang then cycles a new round into battery and you pull the trigger and it goes bang again that is how your gun was designed to function. Bumpfiring, while fun (I guess ), is not a factory reccomended practice and the ability to do so is not covered under anybodys warranty.Do you have this problem only while trying to BF? IMHO- Bumpfiring is a waste of ammunition, develops no good rifleman skills and kinda makes you look like a melvin at the range but to each his own. No flame intended. |
 Ya'll im not bump firing at all. Rapid fire to me is pulling the trigger fast and keeping pretty close to target. Bump firing is a waste of ammo after shooting a FA. Im handling and shooting the rifle correctly. But if i choose to shoot 4 fast shots, usually the 4th wont fire. It has done this on shot 2 before too and sometimes not until shot 20 of a 30rd mag. I have a few AKs, this one was givin to me by my Father. I have only replaced the wood with the blonde set from my Vector. HELP  edit: the stamped numbers are 0207 |
I know why we can't help you. You said in another thread that your father has had the WASR since the mid 90's. None of us have ever seen a WASR made in the mid 90's. It must have some mysterious Clinton Administration required feature that only permits so many shots per specified time period.

In that Thread, i explained thats what he had left from a 15 year time span. But enough is enough, if you cant help dont post in this thread. Enough of your flaming and trolling. Find someone else to pick on, though i would doubt you would be man enough to say that to my face. I wont even comment on any of your thread, please have the same consideration and do the same.  Im asking for help and i get people flaming me for no reason. I never said anything about bumpfiring, i have an issue and i just wanted some advice. |
+1,000,000,000 I still haven't figured out what the problem is. Some times the hammer follows when fired fast. Sometimes the hammer follows when fired slow. Sometimes the hammer follows when bumpfired (although he doesn't bumpfire?). Century couldn't figure out what's wrong. At least they could tell what the rifle is, which is more than I can be sure of.

I guess im a little sensitive Thanks all for trying to help, Including Polythenepam. Its just that F'n Century couldnt figure it out or just didnt even try. The bad part for me is that i have a Masters, obviously its not in English  The hammer never fails, honestly i may just give it back. Thanks all for your help |
