What
A Shitty Rifle 
Kidding, my WASR 10/63 was my introduction to the AK-series and I love it. (Not as much as my SGL20 though )

What A Shitty Rifle? Had I not seen that in here I would have posted it myself. I heard it for the first time several months ago and nearly fell out of my chair laughing. In all actuality, they usually work (usually being the key word) but are known for the poorest quality of them all. Especially when the hacks at Century get ahold of them and Dremmel the magwell open to accept regular hi-cap mags. You can get them cheaper than most out there (although for $100-200 more than they were going just a year ago) but don't be surprised if you acquire one with canted sights or that you have to do a little Dremmelling of your own to get it to function correctly. They go back to Century to be fixed or replaced somewhat frequently.
Personally, I have no desire at all for one (I'm one of those arrogant shooters that RIDICULE them) but it's a lot cheaper than springing $1000+ for an Arsenal. If it came down to a WASR or nothing I'd take a WASR all damn day long! |

Yeah, I made the shitty rifle comment as a joke.
My WASR has been flawless. And, it seems that new production WASRs just keep getting better and better. |

POLYTHENEPAM is at me once again. It's pretty obvious you and I don't agree on the quality of a WASR. Doesn't mean you need to bang me everytime you get the chance. A lot of posts are simply about opinion. If the quality of the average WASR has gone up some then I think that's a good thing. Companies selling any product are well served to listen to the response of their client base. I've shot them and handled them before and as I said, if I had a choice for pretty much any Kalashnikov version I'd rather have something else. And I also stated I'd rather have a WASR than nothing at all.
I still feel that the WASR, overall, has a bed rep and it's because it's earned its reputation. No need to bash me because my opinion of a WASR is low. I'll reiterate one more time: if it came between a WASR and nothing at all, I'll take one all day long. But given the chance for something I else, I'd feel more comfortable with something else so I doubt I'd ever own one. |

You stated that the WASR rifles have a habit of getting sent back for repair and he pointed out that out of 700 rifles sold in the last batch there was only one returned. Let's try to keep the drama in GD. |

Quoted:
They go back to Century to be fixed or replaced somewhat frequently. This is not a statement of an opinion. It is a statement of purported fact, unaccompanied by any evidence. Worse, based on the available evidence (from a seller who handles a relatively large number of WASRs) it's outdated at the very least. Expecting to have your opinion, which you have expressed as a fact (and as noted is unsupported by evidence and is contrary to the evidence which is available) go unchallenged is unrealistic. |

I'm not a seller, manufacturer, partner, or distributor/importer. I'm simply an enthusiast. That's it. I'm not going to be right about things 100% of the time. I've learned a ton reading this site as my job doesn't have 8 full hours worth of work for me while I'm in there every day. I did not base my claims via researching Century International Arms' claims department, or AIMS, or anyone else's. I based my opinions on the ones I've shot and held in my hand. I've also based my opinion on the never-ending posts from people that have bought them and had some kind of problem or another.
POLYTHENAPAM typically comes to the rescue anytime someone says something remotely construed as non-positive about the WASR. I'm beginning to think he's a major stock share holder with a controlling interest in Century International Arms or something. Hell, maybe he's Romanian. But when somebody comes out and tells another poster WASR is bottom of the barrel according to too many accounts from people, what other reason would he have to strap on his cape and come to the rescue? |

"Hand Select". Someone hasn't heard of "Hand Select" before.
I haven't seen any crappy WASRs like I did back in 05 and 06. Those were bad.

my wasr looks like crap compared to...well, just about any other AK with wooden furniture. but i treat it like crap and it goes bang every time with the accuracy i would expect . if my WASR is as reliable and as accurate as another AK, why spend more?
just inspect the thing before you buy it. if i were to buy sight unseen, i prolly would go for the Henderson just to be safe. |

This is assuming that hand select really means anything at all.
I could easily "hand select" a gun for an extra 20 bucks.

Perfectly fine with me...he saves met the trouble of saying the same thing. WASRs are fine AKs with sub par finishes. |

just inspect the thing before you buy it. That's solid advice that applies to all AKs. Come to think of it, I've never purchased any firearm, new or used, without stripping and examining it first. |
