Is this a good deal on Draco pistol?

No mods needed save a removal of the rear block and a tang replacement.

Though im pretty sure you can just tap the rear block for an Ace style hinge, rather than remove it and replace it.

How much is "slightly" ?
They're all "slightly" twisted, to be honest, but you'd need special instruments to see.
If you don't like the way it looks - send it back.

Anybody know if it's legal to add a break? Sure wish a verticle grip was allowed.

It hand cycles okay. Not as smooth as my arsenal milled gun, but I wasn't expecting too much from a Romy. I haven't fired it yet, but it goes click reliably. by slightly, I mean it is visible when I have the top cover off. The rear trunnion is tilted roughly maybe about 2 degrees to the left compared with the front trunnion and sight block. It's subtle, but it's there.

They actually sell them like that. Cugir recently started shipping us "SBRs with a permanent extension" (I can't find pix of the actual WASR atm)

and underfolder equipped WASRs.
However, you'll end up refinishing (at a minimum) and/or damaging your barrel (if you don't know wtf you're doing) getting the extension off.
IMHO, it's lots easier to start with the pistol. If I was gonna spend the $200 tax to build one, the pistol is what I'd start with.

This one started out as a Draco:
Size comparison between a Draco pistol and a Romanian MD63
The Draco and it's sibling the Champion make great donor guns for an SBR. The short gas system is tried and true, so no need for any wizardry to get the gas right. No barrel cutting involved, either (so your chrome is safe).

The low price is the clue there.

I called them yesterday and they said they got 500 in last week and they only had 84 left. So I ordered it then. They said they would be getting more in the beginning of November too. Not the best quality of gun, but the price is right as Nalioth said.

Just because it's a Cugir gun, (well most of the parts are, at least), doesn't mean the quality is necessarily bad. I had a GP WASR 10/63 that was almost as good a shooter as my Saiga. It was quite accurate. It all depends on the individual rifle you get. Some are just ok.. some are very well put-together, (just roughly finished).

Wow, I shot it today and it is very smooth and a lot of fun. It even has a G2 trigger, which I heard was a problem in the past. It's pretty uncomfortable to try to shoot through the sights though. Time for a one point sling.

The troop pictured in your avatar doesn't need a sling... pussy.
So everything's straight, (no canted sights etc), on your new Draco? Good, (if roughly finished), quality, would you say?

Ya, all in all I'd say good quality. I didn't use the sights all that much, but with a 1 point I should be able to put tension on it and use it almost like a butt stock.

Now those AK pistols you see out there with <10" barrels are another story...
