Hello! New here and looking for advice. I am gonna buy my first AK and just want something fairly inexpensive that I can shoot..a bunch! Looking at a SAR-1 and WASR-10 (regular stock, hi-cap of course!). Given the choice, which should I go with? Really appreciate the help...I got the itch bad! :) |

i prefer he sar-1 over the wasr. the wasr is a 10 riund, single-stack magazine rifle that has been converted to accept high capacitity magazines. while this is not, in and of itself, necessarily a 'bad thing', if given the choice and the price difference is small...get the original akm...get the sar-1. |

Wow, thanks for the quick responses guys. I was definitely leaning towards the SAR for just the reasons stated. Found a new 2003 model with a 10 rd, 30 rd mag, sling, cleaning kit/cleaning rod included for $298.95 at Guns-N-Stuff FAC. Anybody done business with them? They also have the Romanian Hi-Cap with Dragunov style buttstock for $269.95...oh, also the Oly Arms AR-15 plinker for $499...I want them all. Somebody please stop me! :) |
| Welcome to the Board and the wonderful world of AKs.Just a friendly warning,AKs are addictive!You will never be the same after you get your first one.That said,make your first choice a SAR 1,if you happen to get one with canted front sight we'll talk you through a remedy. |
| Thanks John. Oh I can definitely tell it is going to be addictive...already looking to see what the next purchase is gonna be! I bought a Yugo SKS last weekend at a gunshow and haven't even shot it yet but have wanted an AK for a long time. I am a soon to be retired Russian/Serbian linguist in the military and have always had an interest in these weapons but never got around to buying any. Looking forward to the adventure. |

FAC is fine, some claims of optimistic grading on used equip, but fine for new stuff. NO sustitute for handpicks with Romy AKs. Factor in shipping and ffl fee, and $350 show price is good to select it yourself. Cheap ARs worry me, but we would rather steer you than stop you.... Have any Mosins yet
