I had never heard of them till now, found one in 5.45. How are they as far as quality compared to a Sar-2? Do they have dimples? Is there anything about them that makes them different then a Sar-2? Thanks. Digital |

romak's (1 and 2) are pre-sar versions of the wasr series. i had a 1999 import romak1 (7.62, of course) that lacked the magazine dimples because these were low capacity/single stack imports. mine was sold fitted with bulgarian furniture and required the use of usa mag followers/floorplates (only the trigger group was american made...fse in my case). mine was nicely converted to high capacity and refinished by ohio ordnance works. two other outfits also converted them. they hold no special collector value. i rank them as a nicely refinished wasr, myself...$300-$400 range nib. |
I have a 97' Romak-1 (7.62). Mine has dimples and was made for hi-cap mags... Ha!  But it came with butthole stock and I had to add the US parts to convert it to a regular buttstock and pistol grip. I think the fit and finish are nicer than a SAR-, but my Romak had the barrel that had the threads turned down so you can't thread it yourself. |

+1 Romak-2 Dimples, laminated thumbhole stock, etc. Swapped out the euro FCG with the G-2 double hook set I got from Tapco with my AMD-65 kit (it'll be a while before I finish the AMD so why spend the $$$$ right now for another fcg?), added the Tapco gas piston & pistol grip, & finished her off with East German brown poly & bakelite furniture. As soon as I get access to a drill press I'll slightly tweak the gas chamber & front sight base.....typical cross eyed Romanian workmanship  It's liveable as is but it bugs me.
