Anybody know anything about them? Are they good? Are there any problems with them? I know very little about AKs and am thinking about getting one. I know it's a post ban. School me please.

Do you know which ROMAK you are looking at? ROMAK-1 - 7.62x39 ROMAK-2 - 5.45.39 ROMAK-3 - 7.62x54R ROMAK-991 - 7.62x39 |
 Those are different AK's from what you might consider "typical". They use a proprietary magazine that only holds 10 rounds. Standard AK magazines don't fit in these. Nothing wrong with that, it just keeps you from using standard capacity 20 or 30 rounders, and prices for these Romanian rifles are lower because of that. Do a search for "wasr 10" on gunbroker to find the double stack equivalent of the one above. |

I agree. By modifying it to take hi-cap mags you are, in effect, manufacturing an assault weapon which is prohibited unless you insure no more than 10 of the 20 named parts are of foreign manufacture. You can meet this requirement by using a US made fire control group, US made stock and handguards, and a US made magazine––the US mag will but you well over the requirement since it has 3 US parts when you only need 1. It also means that only US made mags can be used. If you want foreign mag usage, either install a US made piston, or swap followers between a US mag and an imported mag, then you can legally use both. HTH |
