| Are the WASR10 bolts altered in any way to make then work as a single stack? I have read that Bulgarian single stack rifles have the bolt tapered down to fit between the feedlips on the single stack mags. They then feed poorly is converted back to a normal 30 round mag configuration. Are the Romanian WASR rifles the same way? I know that the earliest WASR rifles had smaller trunions that had to be milled out so it wouldn't surprise me that the bolt would be different. |

I've converted single stack WASR's to double stack.
I don't believe they are different. At least none of the ones have had experience with had any problems feeding after the fact. But I never looked that closely to remember if they were different. You could always buy a new bolt though. Not a big deal. |
| i've done one wasr-10 hi-cap conv. and it opperated fine but the maddi misr-10 that i did had a narrowed bolt that had to be built back up and re-shaped. so i guess it maybe depends on when and where it was made. it is obviously more narrow. compare it to another bolt to see. |

Quoted:
did all the parts come out of the same bin after being modified? That would be impossible. WASRs are built in ROMANIA. The GP1975s are built in AMERICA. Quite a long distance separates the "parts bins". The GP 1975 rifles have a feed lug which is unmodified. In other words it's wider than the feed lug on (at least some) WASRs.. |

Does anyone have a GP 1975 built from a romanian parts kit? Would they have a wider bolt than the WASR 10 or did all the parts come out of the same bin after being modified? Yes, I have a GP 1975 and a WASR 10/63. The bottom of the bolt IS wider on the Gp 1975. However, the narrow bolt on my 10/63 works just fine and I have never had any problems with it. One time, I did try to put the GP 1975 bolt in the WASR and the bcg would not close all the way. |

I was trying to make sure that the GP1975 wasn't made from pre-modified parts from the same source as the WASR rifles. |
