Quoted: After the years with the AR guns i happened to come across a link selling them with a pair of mags and a sling with bayonet for like 320 so i'm thinking why not.
Question i have is i'm looking at a romanian WASR on AIM and the wood looks like pine from the picture... I mean i realize it's probably not but is it something you've really got to change like it will break if you don't?
Heck I gotta warm up for when hte new 552 sigs come out right?

There is nothing wrong with WASRs, they just require a little work to make them look and perform nice, however all of this work is not going to cost more than a few bucks (literally) and some of your time. I actually liked the fact that the rifle came with unfinished wood, because that means you can do it the way YOU WANT IT. Me personally, I just used a couple sheets of sand paper to smooth it out, then applied a few coats of cherry colored stain and then a few coats of poly to protect it and give it a glossy look and feel. However, another problem that my rifle had that not all, but some do is trigger slap. It wasnt to bad when I first got the rifle, but it seemed to get worst after puting about a thousand rounds thru it. However, it was easily fixed by grinding that stupid tab off the disconnector, there is a tutorial here that says how to do the fix, in case your rifle is a little uncomfortable to shoot due to trigger slap.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you go to a sporting goods store, or a gun show and hand pick your ak, that way you can take a look at it and make sure the sights are straight. It will also even be cheaper this way, because you can find them at the same price that aim is selling them for, but you wont have to pay shipping. Ya, the romanians sometimes need a little work when you get them out of the box, but after all thats done, im pretty happy with it.
