Romanian guy here. Had used two AKMs, standard 7.62x39mm in military service - one in bootcamp and one in my combat engineer battalion. The first one was manufactured in 1964 (!!!), the second one was from 1985. There was no difference between them in yhe quality of woodwork or metalwork. Both fired great; I never had jams or other problems with them (of course, we cleaned them every day, even when we have not shoot with them). We also cleaned the magazines every day and we were told to be careful with them, not to drop them or anything. We didn't have to worry about the ammo, that was issued to us on range or when we were on guard duty. We shoot quite a lot, since there was a lot of ammo that had to be disposed of, so we shot quite old ammo, but it never misfired (being properly stored into an Army ammo dump helps a lot...). So what I'm trying to say is that I saw a lot of people saying that the quality of romanian AKs is not good, so maybe the producer (Cugir plant) or the importer are doing something wrong, or anything like that? As I sad, I used two rifles, old and used by other soldiers before me, and their performance was beyond satisfactory. P.S. And don't get me started on the accuracy issue, I only say this - it's not the gun, but the man that uses it. P.P.S. English is not my natve language, but I hope I'm inteligiblle.

It had a severely canted front sight where even drifting the post all the way to the left still didn't help. Had a super wobbly stock and lots of play in the magwell. The best part was it would even fire out of battery which was why we sold it off as a parts gun.

I really don't see why people have every claimed these rifles to be somehow sub standard. They are military rifles built on a semi auto receiver. Period, end of story. They are as good as anything else built in a com bloc factory anywhere in the world. Esthetically, there are prettier versions but they always run and run well. I have arsenals, yugos, Chinese, you name it and my wasr runs as good if not better. I hope the myth continues, one day when they are not being imported any longer, I will sell off all the used ones I picked up for 2 -3 hundred bucks and clean up! People said the same thing about the Chinese rifles back in the day and now they go for a small fortune. Every dog has his day.
@humansvd32694 жыл бұрын
They were substandard because fitting on a receiver that wasn't milspec. The finish was poor, the eood was poor, the alignment of gas blocks and sights were poor abd the mag well was loose. The price and reliability were good though, and that was the draw point.

I'm confused about the situation around 20:35 So they were bringing the GP WASRs over, century was doing their thing and then selling them. The Romy G kits were coming in as well, and then in 2005 the authorities said that the barrels couldn't come over in the parts kits, IF they'd been part of a machine gun. How did the WASR 10/63 help with this if they were essentially taking the same barrels off machine guns? Were they good to go because those were shipped as rifles and not parts kits? Were people just buying the 10/63 so they could get the barrels to build out the Romy G kits?? Were the Romy G barrels that much better than the barrels that were being sent in the previous generation GP WASR rifles?

Thank you for sharing such an excellent and comprehensive video dedicated to a great AK import variant. I bought a used GP WASR-10 last August as my first AK and I have absolutely no regrets. It must be an early import because it has a front trunion year of 1981, matching numbers on the small parts and electro pencil import marks on the receiver. When I bought it, it had the "donkey dong" front handguard, plum colored pistol grip and the shellac Romanian wood stock with the black stripe down the rear. The only thing I have changed out is the front handguard because I prefer the palm swell style and added a leather Romanian sling. So far, I have put over 3,000 rounds through it and it still runs like a top and has no issues eating up even the junkiest Tulammo.
@ozarkbeararms88407 жыл бұрын
The WASR10 is probably the best, first AK to own. Yours originally came with the usual furniture, but the previous owner changed it out for a set of surplus 'Romie-G' stuff. Most of the guns built from original military parts came in 2007-2013. Yours probably did too.

After getting a 2018 Production WASR10 with beautiful rivits, a well fitted and tight BCG, and dead straight sights I'm hooked. I have modified the rifle extensively and although it's much more deployable from a tactical standpoint in my custom configuration I have ruined it's collectablity which is fine because I bought it with the intention of making it a defensive rifle. Nevertheless, while I'm not dirt poor I'm certainly not a man of means. I must have a WASR10 to keep "original" so to speak. I hope they are still imported until next tax season. I'm gonna get a WASR10 underfolder, a Romanian AKM accessory kit and bayonet, a Romanian 75 round drum, and a surplus cleaning rod and Romanian handguard set (preferably with the forward pistol grip, but as long as it's milsurp) and Romanian surplus pistol grip.

I also have a 2018 production wasr10. Sights are straight, rivets are super nice and clean, and I'm impressed with how little side to side magazine wobble I get with all kinds of surplus and modern steel and polymer magazines. I hated the furniture that came with it but swapped it for some nice romanian laminated stuff for under $70 and now it looks proper. Love it.

Back in February of 2011,I bought a 10/63 single stack from Dunham’s Sports for $279.99 (I still have the receipt) that had a 1967 date on the trunnion. Matching numbers,except for the recoil spring. Couple of months later,I bought a double stack for $349.99,1983 date. All the steel shavings from opening up the mag well were still clogging the internals,but a simple strip and clean fixed that. I love these rifles,real Combloc quality,and minimal aesthetics. Damn,I’m envious of your collection.

This was my first rifle I ever purchased in 2003. I believe I paid $300 and it came with 2 magazines a sling and an oiler. Great rifle. Don't have it anymore, but I do have another early 2000s WASR.

I recently bought a Wasr with DC Industries on the receiver. Also there is the letter G on the front block/trunnion. Do you have any info on these Was 10's? Thanks

You sure it's a WASR? It would say WASR if it was

Great video and good through the whole thing. Worth the full watch. Only minor problem, WASRs do still come with canted sights from time to time. Though it's mostly gone, I've seen couple cases here and there still happening.

Never said it was 100% gone, just reduced greatly. Thing is, all factory built, imported AKs have been known to come in with canted sights, including Saigas, Arsenals, and even the odd Molot once in awhile.

Do the letters in front of the serial numbers mean anything in particular? Mine begins with CV
