In the neighborhood of buying a WASR 10/63. Only thing that concerns

I would not pay more than 600 for a WASR in good shape

that's probably from corrosive primers leaking a smidge of gas past. Czech the barrel and chamber for damage.

>This is a slight indication of a slightly more used rifle.
I wouldn't settle for a used wasr bro.

Just wait for a mint condition wasr fresh of the line, works much better

>>31593469
>Think this rifle is worth 650-700?

I remember getting mine for $475 pre sandy hook.

times have changed

Soak it in clp. Let it sit. It's nothing anyway. If it rust its surface.

I don't know that your ready to buy an ak. Nit picking shit and all. You're going to drive your self crazy if you set your expectations way to high. Here's some advice:

1, rivets. Look over all rivets to make sure no gap is between under the rivet head and the receiver. Look inside for rivets too. Scope rail rivets, inside on the trunnion up front.

2, alignment is...never perfect. Perfection between the barrel housing, gas glock, and front sight post are going to never be dead nuts on. Nothing on an ak is perfectly squared up. You can come close, and good builds are. Century arms is hit or miss. But! Good news is the Romanians built these guns. They actually make a for the most part, a straight gun. I sold mine but it was straight as hell.

3, peening of the hammer, bolt, and other areas are normal wear. Only American cast parts are shit. Romania made good steel in those guns. Its in the design of all ak's that you will have peening and wear areas breaking in. You can smooth these out too and help speed the process. Areas like the hammer face and carrier tail will get it the most but with good steel the peening becomes work hardened and is self limiting. Unlike century arms in house bullshit. Internally the wasr is one ugly bitch but it has good steel.

Enjoy your wasr. Treat her like shit, she will take it.

The trunion may say '72 but the rifle wasn't assembled until the late 90s-early 2000s, up until that point it was mearly a parts kit that sat around for years.

Brosef, times have changed. New WASRs are $700 rifles.

Find me one for sale right now for less than $600 and I'll admit I was wrong.

I have seen a handful of nice WASRS posted on armslist recently. Under 600 is rare, but they ARE out there. If you truly want me to, i can link a wasr for 425, no armory mark, sthumbhole stock. Also saw a rommy g kit posted for 350

The standard rifle can cost up to 700 (however I believe that price should AT LEAST include a magazine or something along those lines.)


Im comfortable paying 700 for a quality wasr,
But only because I love their style, and I always had planned on 700 by the time I got of age.

Nit picking? The fuck you talking about.
Literally the only thing im looking for here is
A nice AK variant. Preferably romanian with an armory mark before the 80s. ( the one in question fits that criteria)


Definately dont think its rust. Im going to go check it out in person soon hopefully. The pictures I requested were actually very clear. Its just the black coat is being rubbed off the rifle. Im just debating wether I should jump on this one or not.
Its a very well built AK, just shot a bit more than I was hoping for. I like to break my rifles in personally. (I suppose that just means this ones goodtogo)

Also the rivets seem to be some of the best ive looked at. The reciever shows literally no deformation like most do (even to a slight degree.)
Either way im going to have to check in person that they are also tight enough too.

Ps- another member mentioned corrosive ammo. Could that be the cause or is 700-900 rounds more likely?

>>31596878
I bought mine for 350 2 days ago.
Only thing wrote g was it had an in and out burger straw in the stock

>>31600179
Yeah good things never come off corrosive ammo. Its harsh shit. Post pics if you buy it. Enjoy.

Goddamn 350? From where?
I would love to see pics of this thing.

Ive been trying to find a wasr for that cheap a long time now.
Past 4 times at the gun show and not a single one that looked like it hadnt fought a war in the Congo. its rare that I even find one a year here. Becoming extremely rare rifles.

>silver showing

That 400 rounds would wear the bluing off you autistic faggot

Its internal finish wear
Who fucking cares
