Hey all, I am really thinking about buying an AKM in the near future. Chances are it will be a WASR. I know that the newer ones have a much better reputation than the older ones, but how do I tell the difference? I think I read that the newer ones have a tapco trigger, so I guess that is one way. I have never fired one and my shooting experience is limited to semi-auto pistols, shotguns, and hunting rifles. Any advice and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.
AKs are AKs. They pretty much always go bang and they arent works of art.
Classic arms and centerfire systems seem to have the best prices at the moment.
Classic arms has the best array of romanian WASR’s
Romanian AKs are probably the bottom of the barrel, but the truth is they are about as nice as the next AK.
There are reports of canted sights. but I haven’t witnessed it.
I have a romanian that I bought as a parts kit for $99
It works great
All Aks are going to have a Tapco trigger to bring the parts count into compliance.
I would try to find a place that sells them in your area and try the darn thing before buying if thats possible
Are you sure you don’t want an AR15 that you can put on a Slide Fire Solutions stock? They are still legal for now.
