Cleaned my WASR-10 last week and got to shoot it today. Ran a magazine through it flawlessly, except the second time I fired it it did a 2-round burst. Didn't do it again after that.

When I loaded another magazine though, it didn't feed the rounds; each one slammed nose first into the receiver just below the chamber. It took several tries of inserting and removing the magazine before it would chamber a round properly. This was using a magazine that had been 100% reliable prior to this.

So... what's up?

As for the 2 round burst issue, my guess is the firing pin is the problem.  It probably is gunked up inside the bolt from cosmo, dirt, or whatever and is sticking.  If I were you, I would clean it out.

If not that then you may have accidently bump fired it or the FCG could be not resetting correctly.  Take Shrike37's advice and clean the firing pin channel.  You need a punch and plastic mallet to remove the retaining pin.

For the problem with the feeding it sounds like you are incorrectly seating the mag into the mag well by your description. Or you could have a mag problem which would be the first things to check for.  Is this your first rifle of this type?

First rifle of this type (had it for two years now) and it's kinda finicky about which mags fit into the mag well. This mag has always fit in and fed perfectly in the past.

To fix the issue of not all mags fitting run a dremel around the inside of the mag well.  Century did a crappy job of converting these to hicaps.

2 round burst?

Well, it was nice knowing you...  the BATFE are en route to your house because you have an illegally modified automatic rifle.

That sucks man - hope you get it fixed.

BS. A malfunctioning weapon which is not designed or modified to fire FA is NOT a machine gun and will NOT result in a prosecution.

That was an attempt at humor. It was probably only lost on you.
