Super56 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have a WASR-10 built by century. It is what I think is a low cap receiver that has been modified so it has no "dimples" on the side. Its a ok gun has muzzle brake and bayo lug. But to my question I know the dimples are supposed to make it feed right but how important are they really. I am thinking about putting a little money in it but I don't want to have to always worry about it jamming on me just because I ran with it or was moving it around. Will it be ok with out the dimples or should I get a different one. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Have you even fired it yet? I have WASRs in 3 calibers and haven't had a lick of trouble out of any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaneman153a 39 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 The dimples are there just to pinch the top of the magazine to keep it from wobbling. It's my understand that they take what they cut from the magazine well and weld it in place to do the same job. I don't thing this will effect reliability. Most Saiga's do not have dimples.

Century doesn't weld anything. Both WASRs and Saigas have factory magazine guide plates installed. Century has been known to 'open 'em up' a bit too much during conversion, which has lead to the 'wobbly magazine syndrome'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XdamagedX 248 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I've got a wasr-10 with the same issue, I've fired a few thousand through it with no problems feeding AT ALL. As far as I know "low cap" means that it has 2 little "spurs" on the back of the magwell which are easily grinded off to allow normal AK mags in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a "low cap" WASR.... it is able to take ONLY SINGLE STACK magazines... they are narrower than a double stack, and hence the mag-well is narrower as well. Note: the mag-well can be opened up to accept hi cap magazines, just make sure that if you do this, you play the compliance game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he was referring to the monkey turds Century sometimes leaves behind during a conversion: http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/wasrwell.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
