I am new to these forums, so please don't feel the need to flame me for my n00b like questions ans so forth. I need to find out what the WASR2's major problems are. I know that they have a history of being...crap. But, for $290, it is probably worth it. If you have any other recommendations for another type/make od AK-74 for around the same price range ($250-$350), then do not hesitate to mention it. BTW, I have shot this gun at the range, and I was very pleased with it (but I'm a n00b...). ANd when I learned that it was only $289 on AIM surplus, I took great interest. Thanks |
| I got a wasr-2 from AIM. I just had a chance to shoot it for the first time today. Tons of problems...fail to eject, fail to feed, double feed. Not all that happy with it right now. The FSB is slightly canted too, but not enough that I couldn't sight it in without running out of windage adjustment. Spending a little more for something better will save you a lot of hassle. You're just taking a chance with these guns. |
All these problems are common. They are all listed on linx310's site If you can't buy from a local source that will exchange the firearm if it doesn't work then is it really worth the low price if you have to keep sending it back to Century to get it fixed? Will Century pay for the shipping? If not that will add to your final cost of getting a rifle that works. AF has the Tantal's but they are out of the price range you want to spend. Listen to other's that mention the WASR rifles having problems and if you get one just expect to have issues. If you don't then you lucked out. |
| WASR RIFLES WORK.Just need to check them out good!I had a choice between 2 both wasr2's 06 production date.They were straight handguard wood is soft.My neighbor bought the one I didn't take both fuctioned fine.Had to clean them real good lots of cosmoline.Mags fit tight on ploy steel alittle wobble.If you want to spend the extra $200 on the other rifles go ahead you will love it.But $200 buys alot of ammo. If you have any problems with a wasr century will fix it!It's your choice.I've never had aproblem with century's ak rifles fal another story. |
| you know what I didn't think of? I might sound stupid, but how many other places sell the WASR2 besides AIM Surplus? There is a Cabela's and many other gun shops in my area. Is there any way that they could be found there? I don't know much about Century, so I don't know their policies... |
