I took my new WASR to the range for the first time last night, and noticed two things : 1) The newness of the receiver was (sometimes) keeping the bolt from closing all the way. I assume this will work itself out after a few more rounds. It already started getting better after just 60. It's annoying to have to tap it forward after each shot though. meh, *shrug* 2) The rifle shoots up and to the right, consistently. I shot a 20-rd pattern (with POA center of mass) into a silhouette target at 50yds and the pattern was on the upper right shoulder. I found out that you have to have some special tool to adjust the windage (elevation I can handle). I've found some online ranging from $5 (combathunting.com) to $20 (tapco.com). Is there a WECSOG way of making one? Is it even worth it? It looks like just a simple little C-clamp "press". Any thoughts? |
| I'd just go ahead and get one. It is just a C-clamp, but it has a hole on the non-screw side so the bar that the front sight is on can move (if that makes any sense). It would be a pain to try to adjust with a regular C-clamp. 5-10 bucks is a bargin for a handy tool like that. |

I have this one and recommend it highly recomend it. B square sight pusher |
I was looking at that one just now. There's another one on midway that has some really bad reviews. This particular one is on backorder, though. Thanks for the feedback. |
The front sight slide can be very tight on WASRs. I had to use a vise and socket to break it loose. Once it started moving I used the Tapco U.S. made tool. It works great. The Chinese made ones are junk. I had one. It didn't work 'cause the hole on the side opposite of the screw is too small to accept the front sight slide. |
 link Best money I ever spent on an AK accessory. That thing will move *any* AK sight and its built like a tank. |

Just avoid the ones made from soft metals and you'll be alright. Tapco sells one thats made from a chunk of steel and milled out. I had one and then lost it. Another member here was kind enough to send me one they had for free. Lets just say he got some good feedback here on ARFCOM! CMS |
