You'll regret it. Just save up and buy a vepr, why a wasr anyway?
>>
>>28658488
If you want to, yes.
>>
>>28658557

>as reliable as any AK

>accurate

>cheapest AK worth buying on the market

cant imagine why anyone would get one
>>
No. Pick up some extra hours at work and just get a WASR to be slav buddies with your SKS

They both have their strengths and weaknesses and both deserve a place in your arsenal
>>
>>28658568
Cheap, and as reliable as any ak.
Nope.

Definitely cheap. BUt century doesn't have the greatest track record for quality inspection.

Isnt a wasr stamped too? Im pretty sure veprs are milled. And last time i checked they were going for $800. Thats only $200 more than the wasr.

>>
>>28658636
It reads "reinforced".

My bad, but do you get what im trying to say? Spend another $200 for something of higher quality.
>>
>>28658653
Higher quality with less parts commonality. Also good luck finding a 7.62x39 Vepr in stock anywhere.
>>
>>28658488

WASR owner here. This is not a slam against the WASR in any way, but I'm going to say keep your SKS and work towards having both.

Fuck I want an SKS bad.

>>28658680
I second this guy.

The WASR is fine for the beginning AK enthusiast.
>>
remember when WASRs were 500? Fuck you century, stop overpricing the WASR to promote your shitty fucking RAS47

From what I understand, CA WASR 10s after 2008 or fine and don't suffer from the canted sights and poor QC.

SKS prices aren't going down. I'd hang on to it but it's your decision.

Love my WASR. It runs great, is accurate, eats anything, like an AK should.

And I love my SKS too, don't take it out as often though because heavy.
>>
You know everyone yelled at me for buying a RAS47 instead of a WASR.

I put 660 rounds in it in 3 days, dry, no oil or cleaning or anything out of the box and haven't had a single misfire, and it's accurate at 100 yards (unfortunately 100 is the maximum where I shoot)

I know every gun is different, but my buddies WASR 10 will fuck up about twice a mag if he doesn't oil keep it nice an oiled. It also has a canted front sight and he had to buy a red dot

Keep the SKS. Prices are only going up, and SKS's that haven't been fucked with are getting harder to find.

How often do you even shoot your SKS? Because that is what the AK will feel like.

EVERY C39V2 AND RAS47 ARE JUST TICKING TIME BOMBS WAITING TO GO OFF.

Exactly on the 1000th round, the trunion will crack like a thunderbolt going off next to your ear and will permanently deafen you. The entire bolt will mushroom into a lump of useless potmetal, and the sheer pressure created by this will cause the dust cover to detonate into shrapnel, showering your face and any bystanders with a lethal hail of steel fragments.

The Century-made gun will then cause all remaining ammunition left in the magazine to cook off and set the piss-poor cast metal bolt and carrier on fire. Due to the shoddy metallurgy of the carrier group, the fire will intensify and melt the rest of the firearm into a liquid slag which will then proceed to burn a hole through your glove, your hands, and several feet into the ground before it can be extinguished.

Upon attempting to return the firearm for warranty, Century Arms will deny the gun ever even existed, and it will be impossible to further pursue a claim due to the fact that the serial number or any markings on the gun have long since been obscured due to the fact that all the remains of the C39v2 or RAS47 is just a hunk of melted WalMart-grade potmetal that is welded to whatever surface you dropped it on when it catastrophically failed at exactly 1,000 rounds.

This really isn't a problem considering most poorfags here will never see the day of actually putting 1,000 rounds through their gun.

Unless you're replacing it with another SKS of better quality (East German > Russian > Sino Soviet > Yugo > Norinco) or getting one with all matching serial numbers than don't do it.

no, sks is better made. solid milled steel, not ikea sheet metal

can you explain why? i own a wasr, but was under the impression the opap is better because heavy receiver?
>>
>>28658652

Not every WASR is shit but enough of them are shit to make buying one a risk and if you do make sure to inspect it first.

I would rather pay a little extra and not have to worry about what Century might have fucked up.

WASR-10 checklist
>rack the bolt. Does it feel like it is hanging up at all? The action should be very smooth and easy.
>Test several different mags from different manufacturers in the mag well. Make sure they all fit. Make sure the well isn't too tight. Make sure they don't wobble.
>check the sights. Do they look fucked up? They might be canted.
>press on the disconnector pin. Can you move it with your finger? You shouldn't be able to.

Did I miss any? A few years ago Dunham's was having a black friday sale on WASRs. They had 5 rifles in the store, I checked all 5, each one of them had at least one thing wrong with it.
>>
>>28663078
opap is a piece of shit. Along with every other pap variant.
>stupid special snowflake furniture
>looks retarded with its snowflake handguards
>stock is a malformed baby that smacks you so you need to euthanize it with a filer
>non chrome lined barrel, yugo surplus 7.62x39 is corrosive for fucks sake
>recent reports of heat treating issues

It's shit. Just plain fucking shit. The only ak I legitimately hate and will never own.

>>28662864
What's the bolt action? Looks like a mauser?
>>
>>28658611
>only $200

I'm not even a poor fag, but that's a lot of ammo I could but for the WASR.

>>28663085
If it's fucked up then just return it, like damn. Are you people going to die because you didn't get to shoot your AK within a certain amount of time?
>>
>>28663111

Dunhams has a strict no returns policy.
>>
>>28663003

That's nowhere near the magnitude of what would happen.

In the clip below, FPS Russia does a carefully calculated recreation of what a Century Arms failure would look like using a much more reliable firearm to set off the reaction.

But as you can see, despite his extensive training and preparation for the ensuing blast, he nearly loses his life.

Nigger keep your sks. Save up more money and then buy a proper AK. Wasrs work, but if you have a reliable income it makes more sense to save up and get something good.
>>
I had a Yugo SKS
I traded it in toward an M&P Shield

I had difficulty getting the bolt apart because there was cosmoline gumming it up and I was getting light primer strikes
But I had already bought an O PAP so I decided that I no longer wanted a rifle that seemed less than safe
>>
>>28658897

wood ak74m side folding stock? Nigga that is cool.
