OK, at the show this weekend, all the century international arms ak clones were priced at $700 and up. This made me laugh a bit. A year ago I paid a little less than $400 for each of mine. As far as the junk part goes, you are welcome to your opinion. I have a few thousand rounds through each of mine, and haven't had a single problem. I LOVE my century WASR10s. One of them has a tapco trigger group, it is rather a light trigger, but that just makes it more fun. If you want a brand name that you may not deem as "junk", I would suggest arsenal. You couldn't even touch one for less than $1200 a little over a year ago, probably quite a bit more now. But since it appears that you don't own one, or even really know much about them, perhaps that "junk" opinion should be kept to yourself, as it seems like hearsay to me. Sort of like all the guys that have never held, owned, or fired a hipoint, but say they are "junk".no I dont want century they are junk, ok how about under 800$?
Originally conceived as a AKM that could be owned in states with more restrictive gun laws on magazine capacity the WASR series was always considered a step sister to the SAR series of rifles. Eventually distributors found it hard to sell the stockpiles of low-cap WASR rifles and started to mill out the receiver to accept hi-capacity magazines along with updating the part count to make them section 992 compliant.
Still even the hi-cap models of the WASR remained the “bastard step child” of the SAR series until very recently when it became the prominent Romanian AK series when the SARs ceased to be imported.
The WASR family of rifles is now the largest Romanian group of AKM rifles sold in the United States and has been imported from 1999 to present date.
The WASR series has three major groups each with its own series of sub models. The ear;y & pre September 2004 models were produced to be complaint with the then in effect “AW Ban”. The post September 2004 models include features that were previously not legal under the “AW Ban”. It is not uncommon to find pre September 2004 models that have been modified post September 2004 to have features that were previously not legal.
One notable feature about the late 2005 - present models of WASRs is that they are being constructed from part-kits de-milled from Real Romanian AKMs (unissued) produced in the late 70s to mid 80s.
