The WASR does what an AK does. We aren't talking about AR's or a Blaser here, we are talking about a rifle with a very low point of diminishing returns unless you are looking for craftsmanship. For me in appreciating the AK type weapons the basis is in understanding what these weapons have been best at since day one: blunt instruments. Most everything beyond that, all of the rails, lights, milled receivers, and other crap that gets hung off of them, is besides the point. Someone said "minute of man". Bingo.
