What is the basis for the oft-repeated claim that WASR's contain "military/arsenal reject" parts? It may be true but I've never seen any corroboration for the claim.
And I particularly doubt it's true of the WASR10/63s now sold.

The factory itself has said that parts that were rejected for military guns were used in the WASRs. Parts that are plain dangerous are not used, just the ones not acceptable to the military inspectors.
The Romanians have pulled a page from our books, and taken to making today's WASRs from recycled Romanian military AKMs. Do you want to risk getting a "new gun" that was the basic infantry schools "test-to-destruction" rifle? Or has otherwise been used hard and put up wet?
If you are going to get an AK get the genuine Russian Kalashnikov which is the Saiga. Manufactured at what is the source of true Kalashnikovs, Izhmash where Kalashnikov himself worked. You really can't get closer to a real AK than the real AK... Sure it has been mildly dressed up to comply with import issues but even if I didn't have time or couldn't afford to revert it back to standard I'd still rather have a sparkly new, real Russian quality Kalashnikov, than a mongrel AK even if the mongrel rattles along fine. I'd keep ahold of the Saiga till my circumstances allowed me the few moments to revert it back to standard.
