I purchased a WASR10 not too long ago. Its in great condition, not canted. The only problem ive noticed is that both magazines wobble in the mag well from side to side.
Is there an easy way to fix this problem?
Thanks

I had to send my WASR back to Century Arms and have them raise the welds a little, the problum still persisted so I purchased some Bulgarian mags and the wobble went away.

Try different makes of mags.

My Century Yugo loves Yugo BHO mags, Russian, and Bulgy mags.  Those all fit nice and tight.  But, the E German and Romy mags I have fit slightly too loose for my tastes.  They are fine, but too loose for me.  I like zero wobble or at most... an ever so slight wobble.

Be sure and try both steel and poly mags.

I'm definately buying a couple of Bulgarian mags and see how that works. I may try that mod inside the mag well if there's still wobble. Thanks for the help guys

How much wabble are we talking about.  If it's only 1/8" or less total I did an easy fix on mine.  I took a pair of vice grip c clamps and very GRADUALLY compressed the sides right along the fold there the sides and bottom meet (white no mag was inserted).  I did this very gradually and would let it sit for 20 minutes or so and tightend it just a fraction and gradually went down the length of the mag weld.  Fixed it perfect and the gradual bend would never be noticeable to a naked eye.  Can send pics if needed.

Here's how I fixed the wobble....

I bought a lo-cap and converted it.  My steel 30 rounders have a better fit than most AR15s.  

Zero wobble.  Snaps in with authoritah.
