breid1970 327 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not trying to price fish or sell guys. I'm looking to buy one from another non forum member and just didn't know enough about WASRS. I assumed the wasr10 means 10/63. Again, truly not price fishing or selling anything.

breid1970 327 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ok, if asking is something is worth a certain amount that yes I suppose I have crossed that line. Let me rephrase the question. Are WASR-10s alright as "truck guns?" IE. SHTF rifle. Better? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) WASRs were plagued with the same problems SARs were, canted front sight, gas block. honestly, if I was going to buy one, I would want to see it with my own big brown eyes before I plunk down my money, sight unseen, you're "buying a pig in a poke" is a used one worth 350-400? no, but that is what they going for and then some.

haugpatr 972 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just make sure it is double stack and not a single stack 10 shot rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I wouldnt do it, id save up for a better ak. There are some viable 'better' options out there... Edited March 8, 2014 by LuPiN8oR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The finish varies from gun to gun. It may or may not come with canted sights. They make a good beater for sure, and should go bang every time. Its essentially a Romanian AKM. Def. try to see it prior to releasing payment. I dont really feel they are worth the prices they demand now days. There are better options out there IMO, for not much more money. Hell I recently seen a WASR 10 going for more than a factory Saiga 7.62. I laughed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Buy it without a moment's hesitation.If you don't like it, you can definitely get your money back out of it.For under $400, you could probably even junk the receiver and find someone willing to pay that for the parts kit with intact chrome-lined barrel.

chevyman097 2,579 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 If its in good shape, all working order, good barrel, and non canted sights. 350 is a good price for the current market situations. But a WASR wouldnt be my first choice. For a truck gun. Def not bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 For $350, I would buy them up all day, assuming everything was functional. Five years ago I would have said absolutely not. Oh how times have changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dashowdy 141 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 sks for a truck gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolverine 10,360 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Nicer AK's can be had. I had one I sold to a police officer. No cant or other issues. A great beater and will fire every time. That said, I would put my money into a Saiga for conversion or higher end AK unless your intent is to beat it and leave it in the trunk or truck. My 2 cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I believe there is a difference between a WASR 10 and a 10/63. I think the 63's are newer ones with the tapco triggers. I bought one a couple years ago and it's been a great little rifle so far. Not a single hiccup yet. Oh, and be prepared to catch shit from the fanboys and gun snobs for having a "cheap" AK. Just keep those ear plugs in when they talk. I would snatch it up before someone else does. Edited March 8, 2014 by Tundra1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big John! 2,062 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 At that price who fucking cares! Buy the damn thing. If you hate it, sell it for almost twice as much. I'm betting you won't be selling unless it's a complete POS... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I like to handpick mine when I can. That saves me from whopping the FSB and GB into place with a mallet later on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Brand new 10/63s are selling at $599. If it is in good shape, double stack, and doesnt have bolt carrier hang-up id grab it. Problem these days is that when you see something going that cheap, with the prices guns are going for, is you have to beware of a fishy deal Edit: Strike that I now see on Centerfire that they are offering them at $499. So I'd probably get a brand new over the used potential mess for the extra $150 Edited March 8, 2014 by VR6Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Im a Saiga fanboy yes. Its hard to beat a factory Russian 100 series AK for less than the prices of these WASR's. I was mainly referring to some of the AR crowd I've met at the range when referencing the fanboys and gun snobs. The type that calls any rifle junk unless they spent 3k on it. Would I take a converted Saiga over my WASR? You bet! I am however open to many different brands and styles of all guns high and low end. Fanboy I am not! Reminds me of a neighbor of mine who has the Chevy Bowtie tattooed on his shoulder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

haugpatr 972 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 James Yeager claims to have a WASR with over 100,000 rds throught it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've looked it over. It has a chromed barrel and a side rail mount. Sights are straight the rivets are well done but its not a wasr10/63 just a wasr10. And it does not have the military proof mark and no threaded barrel. Its a little rough so I had to pass. Looking at a Bulgarian now. Thanks for all the info folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
