Vector and Global Trades both make nice, mid-priced AKs.
You could even get a Century Yugo underfolder. |

+1 IMHO most "AR" guys who buy an AK should step up to at least a Vector/GT AK and skip the WASR. |

M4 Im just north of Gainesville, and I have not been in Jax enough to know east from west.
Are the WASR unreliable? What exactly are we talking about here? I am not looking for a collector piece, just something that can spit fire. I have seen some Romanian AKs that seem to be cheap in price. Are they prone to failing? |

I agree with others, skip the SAR's and the WASR's, spend 50-75 more bucks and get a Century Yugo Underfolder from CFS or AIM. You will be glad you did in the long run. I have personally wore out a SAR1. Receiver holes started elongating after sevral thousand rounds. This will not happen with a 1.6mm receiver AK whether it be a Yugo, Arsenal, or other heavy receiver model AK.

If yuo've got the money, then get a good one.
Otherwise Romanians(SAR-1 & GP-Wasr) will spit fire just fine. SAR-1s are no longer imported so they are a little harder to find and eventually the supply will dry up. GP wasrs are still imported. they dont have dimples, but they are cheaper than an SAR-1 even and make a great starter AK. $300 bucks is a good price for a GP wasr. if you were to wear it out(which would take a while) just go spend another $300 and get another one- or after you get totally hooked buy a little more expensive one. Another thing- GP Wasr's are sold in a lot more stores than your more hard core stuff. usually you have to get vectors and such of the interweb and deal with the whole FFL transfer crap. |

no actually they are just ugly,...mine has functioned flawlessly,..but has an annoying wiggle if you use a old beat up mag. WASR's are great starter AK's,....you can beat the crap out of it and it wont make a diffrence,.. it will shoot no matter what you do or dont do (cleaning) either way what ever AK you get you should have alot of fun with it. |

+1 on that
early WASR's had a bad century trigger group. the new wasr GP's have a tapco group. it should function 100% aside from the crappy finish and unfinished wood aim surplus sells the wasrs cheaper than atlantic |

As an AR guy you are accustomed to a higher grade of accuracy, and my wasr shoots 4-5.
I really just wish I would have laid down the extra $ for a good AK when I got that, but Im in a minority among people who love their WASRs to death. |
