I would say hit or miss-- I have a CIA WASR10 HC thatis suprisingly good-- no mag wobble, no shavings in the works, and no sight problems-- I did get lucky though as I bought this off a guy off of GB that lives not too far from me-- he let me inspect it with the condition of a refund if it was cruddy-
That being said, you get what you pay for sometimes-- CIAs can be good, but definately can be shoddy...
