Even if Arsenal was a Bulgarian company, the SGL series of rifles are still Russian.

I own lots of ARs,AKs and shoot for lots of reasons including fun, like I said a wasr is a wasr, I was in the service in the early 70s during the "war games" every chance we got we picked up an AK instead of usiing our piece of crap M16s. I do know a good AK when I see and shoot one and a wasr is on the low end.

Spoken like a true gun snob.

I bought one. Checked it out thoroughly first. It goes bang every single time. Hits dead on inside 100 yards. What else is an AK supposed to do?

hers's mine

haven't seen this style yet

She's a WASR 10/63 with Tech Sights, a Tapco stock, a shoulder pad to increase LOP, some cheap railed handguard, an AMD-65 muzzle brake, and a sling of my own design.

She's pretty fugly, but she works great and shoots great. She shoots cloverleafs at 25m, and shoots under chest-sized groups at 400 yards (all from field positions of course... who shoots an AK off a bench anyway?!). Within her effective range, she is as accurate as my M1A. I had a bunch of loose 7.62x39 ammo that was in the back of my Jeep and had gotten wet, and some of it was very rusty and corroded. I ran it through this WASR last weekend, and she ate it like candy (about 100 rounds of it). The only one she had any trouble on was a round that had some brown packing paper rusted to it. It chambered OK, but it stovepiped on extraction. One pull of the bolt handle fixed that one, and she was back in business. The only other malfs I've had with her were due to crappy American made plastic mags, and they were all fixed with a pull of the bolt handle as well. You give her decent GI mags, and she will run like a swiss watch no matter what conditions you're in, what ammo you're feeding her, or whether you've cleaned/lubricated her or not.

In the past I had given some thought to selling her and buying a Saiga, but I don't think I will. I don't really see any reason to when I already have a highly reliable, great shooting rifle. No, I think this one is a keeper.

Refinished wood a bit darker, polished bolt and charging handle, shimmed mag well to eliminate mag wobble. It currently has a red bakelite pistol grip instead of the tan ergo grip. I wanted it to look like an old Russian issue AKM a la Red Dawn.

Runs flawlessly. More accurate than it should be, especially according to the internets. It is an extremely high volume shooter. Best $300 I ever spent.

I don't know why people don't like WASR's so much. I've put hundreds of rounds through it without a single problem. I'm not a fan of Century but post-2007 models of the AKM are totally fine. It's an AK for goodness sake. Most AK's in the world aren't top notch, glamour weapons. Most that are actually used in combat (successfully I might add) are beat to hell. These aren't AR-15's and people don't seem to understand that.
