WASR-10 AK Review (Romania's best, worst, most reliable, greatest, most OK/superior 7.62x39 AK)

- Here is my submission to the WASR's great amount of internet coverage. Love it or hate it, it is a great AK. Please excuse the audio issues. They aren't terrible so I'm keeping the vid up. It is a slight problem that showed up after export that I didn't catch before uploading! You can still get the idea!

I did three tours in Viet nam (age78). I carried a Russian ak 47 for a period of time. it never failed . I have 3 wasr 10 ak, 's. one is an under folder like yours and the other two are swing folding stocks. all three were very rough, bold draged on the trigger, and rusty in side. I stripped the rifles down to just parts, deburred, all sharp burrs inside and out. replaced the triggers with an alg triggers, touched up with bluing, and then coated with frog lube. replace the crappy paper clip that hold tigger pins with metal clip. now the ak 's are slick and smooth. steel mags lock up tight. one of the side folders site is canted but still shoots ok. off the bench I get 2 1/2 - 3 inch groups with Russian ammo. few years back I took a nice eight point white tail with my first wasr 10. they shoot like a meat grinder, they are a tool, but very reliable.
Heck yeah man. That is very cool. Lots of quality work done on those puppies! Thanks for sharing!
Haha the reliable part has proven to hold 100% true in every conflict the AK's been in from invasions to street wars and more, the only thing funny to me is remembering how everyone used to talk about how indestructible they are. They're strong rifles no doubt, but after working with them and comparing them to say a milled SKS or an FAL, you start to really understand they really are stamped out tin can rifles. After cleaning my WASR for the first time in yeaaaaaaaars and noting the 1mm thin receiver rails the other day I leaned it against the wall and thought "I could probably just mulekick this thing in the front trunnion RIGHT NOW and it would cave in permanently..." After that I put it away before I really got curious. Now that I remember, I had an underfolder Yugo M70 years ago too and I thought the same thing about the stock.
@@shevchenkogerman4423 yeah it is kinda funny. The closer you look at their construction you realize how truly simple they are.
@@ottokittel709 Your WASRs didn't come with the Tapco G2 triggers? Mine did and the pull is sweet. Mine cam parkerized in good shape but tge wood stock is badly finished. It came with front sight and gas block canting. I "fixed" the front sight drifting the barrel with the sight post and the gas block cant didn't affect function. The thing has been 100% literally since 2011. I use it fondly.
@@ottokittel709 I think the WASR is over gassed, but it is reliable and throws the brass over 20'.
My first rifle, 14 years old. 21 years later, no malfunctions, shoots straight.
Heck yeah man. That’s awesome to hear
I live on the outskirts of Fayettenam myself and have a WASR-10. Nice video man!
Heck yeah! Always like to hear from my people!
I have too many good things to say about the effort you put into this. Thanks man, Looking forward to more!

The themed intro, stylized shooting montage and overtly autistic explanation of the gun, I love it all. It has been too long since I have seen a gun channel like this, you're going somewhere bud.
Dude thanks! I’m glad I can direct all my autistic tendencies towards something people can enjoy! I really appreciate hearing that!

I’m hoping to keep it up! Thanks!
I have the WASR 10/63 Underfolder, it was my first semi-auto rifle. I love that little rifle.
Thats awesome! The underfolder is such a cool variant. I wish mine was a 10/63 but I still like it.
I had a WASR years ago. Now I have a M70 and a PSA GF5 AKM. Love both
That intro rocked man! Great job on the video!

Thank you!! Got a few more in the pipe for the next few months!
It is crazy to watch the QC of Cugir through the years. 2013 to 2016 seem to be 5he best for the wasrs.
Yeah it is interesting. Mine came from the end of that batch I’m almost positive. It’s got some quirks but overall great.
You know I did start to think something bad had happened recently, but apparently they were changing up components for a new generation of their AKM. So now the WASR V2 uses an East German style gas block instead of the Soviet 45 degree seen in the original.
@@epiccowboymemes2042 oh that’s actually pretty interesting.
Really enjoyed this man, wish you the best. Very well done
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
When I picked up the first AK I felt in Iraq I was like holy shit this is cool. Knowing now it was a chinese T56 stamped spiker with the bayonet removed. We all got to shoot it with some ammo from the ugandan contractors and a great time was had by all. Now after all that, I own a WASR, SLR104UR, SGL31, WWAK74M, SAM7SF, and some parts builds one of which East German. I love the AK. The WASR is hardly trash. It's a rough cut diamond.
@@schfiftyfive9680 man, that’s super cool. That is also a very good analogy for the WASR. Thanks for watching!
I have a Zastava M70. But I’ve fired a Wasr before and it’s a pretty good Ak, not easy to find though. I went with Zastava and no regrets.
Heck yeah! Zastavas are great guns. I’d say probably more “polished” than the wasr but both are awesome.
I subbed off the intro 🔥
@@joshwray7230 thank you!!!!
Beautiful wasr setup
She’s definitely pretty. Thank you!
100% agree about the WASR 10. I have had one for 15 years and no malfunctions.
It’s definitely legendary status at this point
The barrels on original AKMs (those produced in combloc nations) will not be shot out until after 100k rounds. There is an older TFB TV article at Battlefield Las Vegas where they had full auto WASRs that had already made it to 100k on more than one occasion.
Ah heck yeah. I figured as much but I was just being super paranoid. That’s great to hear actually
@@strongcontendervideo8906 The older T1-T3 are even more ridiculous. Some of those have apparently made it past 1 mil.
@@epiccowboymemes2042that’s insane!!!
Great video. You’re on the cusp of breaking out dude keep it going. 243 comments on this video with less then 600 subs, that’s a lot of engagement.

It’s been wild, definitely way more
Than I ever thought I’d get. Got lots of vids planned just a matter of getting the boys together to film! I appreciate you saying that!
Thanks again!!
Great video! Like so many first, it was a WASR 10/63 for me. Don’t give up on that front sight post. Romanian’s are notoriously stubborn. Just get a decent sight tool.
Thanks! Followed all the comment suggestions and got a magna-matic tool ordered!
To adjust your front sight drum you'll want to pick up a Magna-Matic tool. Those U shaped ones are often made of cheap pot metal. Also just as an FYI the magwell dimples are for strengthening the receiver (just as the welded plates are), not for magazine fitment. AKs are a different beast, and take some time to get used to them. I took one of my AR loving friends to the range, and let him shoot my WASR-10. We were doing unsupported bench-rest, and he couldn't make hits on the target at all. I can do 6 inch groups at 100yards unsupported, which isn't even that good, but it just shows that you'll get better if you take the time to learn the platform. Best wishes 👍
Magna-matic, got it. Yeah I didn’t go into a ton of detail on dimple vs non-dimple here nor did I use very technical descriptions of it (guess that’s what I get for going off script hahaha). It’s at least partly for centering mag in receiver and that’s all I was looking to hit. Thanks for the info dude! I love the advice!
Great intro, subbed.
Just north of your dmz in Gravettestan.
As-salaam 'alykum brother from Gravettestan!
@@strongcontendervideo8906 I broke my first sight adjusting tool as well a Tapco. I now use a AKFST I got from Atlantic Firearms, highly recommend.

Most problems on the Century AK's including the WASR's, old NPAPS and OPAP's can be fixed. They are not pretty, but by and large, they work (The ones I mentioned) most of the time. And almost all the issues can be fixed fairly easily. Mine has run through 5k+ rounds since 2011 without a jam. If I had to run out the door with a weapon, my 10/63 would be on the short list of weapons I would grab. I trust it.
It’s a great rifle!
Hi from Mena, AR. Not sure if anyone has suggested it, but you can replace the rear sight with an RPK style that is windage adjustable. Then you don't have to worry about moving the front sight drum. Easy fix.
I’ve seen those, could be a good option. I got a new sight tool ordered but if that doesn’t fix it then I may do that. I appreciate you commenting! Mena is a very pretty place
Ahh...Mena. Where the CIA flew in cocaine while Clinton was Governor. Parties were had, and hookers were disappeared. What a time.
Mena is pretty country. I did some work around there about a decade ago.
I have a pioneer arms 556 underfolder. So far no problems, no jams. I bought 3 extra firing pins and im gonna see how far it goes. 200 rounds so far. Each pin should last about 3000 rounds.
As a fellow Arkansan i salute you!
I ended up getting a WBP fox myself, but i've heard the WASR is the best for first time buyers. Subscibed!
I’ve hears the Polish WBPs are VERY nice. I looked at them too but then this one showed up at the shop at the right time. Love to hear from other Arkansans!
@strongcontendervideo8906 They are very nice, the FB radom barrel is chrome lined and sweet.
I immediately put all the ukrainian furniture on it for the sweet LARP.
@@HerrMann441heck yeah. The LARP comes first hahahah!
Never! My ex wife bought me one for a birthday gift years ago, a wasr, it was the worst gun i ever had. It was so badly made that it was actually dangerous and i returned it. The trigger group pins weren't even peened in, they kept falling out, the magazine was always horrbly loose, it jammed up, ugh.... awful.
You must have gotten a lemon. That generally not what most people say about theirs! That sucks that you got a crappy one
The trigger pins are not supposed to be peened in on an AK. They likely just forgot to put the Shepard's hook in which is an easy fix. Wobbly mag issues can be remedied with different mags or polymer mags which are typically thicker. Both issues can be blamed on the poor double stack conversion by century though. The early ones are known for that

It's a video everyone has done, but I'm glad you did. It was entertaining and informative. I also own the same ak.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s a good one to have!
Anecdotal example of one, but Rob Ski's WASR has somewhere around 20,000 rounds through it and still shoots about 2.5 MOA.
I've said it a thousand times, but a WASR is just as good as any other AK. A $2000 Arsenal is just as accurate and reliable as a $700 WASR.
That is so wild! 20,000 rounds and still being that good is gotta be like gold standard for any gun. Once I get my sight fixed I’m gonna track that accuracy on mine and see what it does.
Cool video. Magnamatic sight tool is gold standard for stubborn sight posts lol
Heck yeah. A few people have said that so I’m gonna have to check it out. Appreciate you!
@@strongcontendervideo8906 yup or if you want to maximize the accuracy, I’ve mounted a Sig Romeo5 red dot on an Attero mount which completely replaces the rear sight. Game changer as far as accuracy goes
Hello, fellow man of taste. I, too, give my AK a reach around over the top.
Over-the-top-reach-around is THE method. I commend you.
Definitely start watching ak operator union aka rob ski. Great for ak noobs. I learned a lot there
Oh I’ve been shooting AKs for some time now which is why I was so concerned with the accuracy that one day. I think I’ve figured out the culprit though and have a much better sight tool ordered. I love Rob Ski! Been watching him for a while! Thanks for the views and comments man!
Get you a Magna matic front sight tool. That will move it. Great stuff. Thanks
Thanks man! That’s been the consensus and I’ll be on the hunt!
The action on my WASR is very rough and is fussy on feeding certain ammunition types, the trigger is nothing but mush until it breaks. Having shot my buddies pre ban izhmash AK103 the difference in quality is night and day it shows how much nicer the izhmash is.
Do you know about when yours was manufactured? Somebody else commented earlier about Cugir having some rough eras of QC. Mine is honestly really great besides the sight post being very stiff, and honestly that may be an easy fix. I guess the trigger issue would be on Century though. Sorry you’ve had such a bad experience with yours
Very cool video 😂just subscribed
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
One pill makes you largerrrr... only the music has started and i have no idea what's coming but i own a wasr and love JA so I'm in 😂
It’s 100% one of the best classic rock songs ever. They were on a whole other level with that one.
The best AK is the new AK12 which got variable barrel caliber 7,62 or 556 the buttstock is adjustable and have picatinny rail
Well, I would love an Ak-12. Unfortunately that’s basically impossible for me to get my hands on!
Get a Magnamatic ak sight tool. They are about $35 but built very strong.
Already done and I will say it worked flawlessly! Been following all my commenters instructions and am already planning a follow up on everything I’ve done and had recommended to me. Thank you so much for the views and comments.
Maybe it's about the magazines we used along the way..
That’s a beautiful sentiment
Loved the intro. The Wasr 10’s are great rifles, just don’t buy one from 07 through 08. They dropped the QC to push them out like crazy during the election crunch. With that being said I love good Wasr’s. My 83 is probably the best one I have had over the years.
Put some heat on the base of that post and see if you can’t tap it over, and pick up a front sight post tool. Set the rear sight ladder at 200, zero at 25 yards and then check your zero. You should be good with a belly hold out to 300, and then top of head at 400 without touching the ladder.
Man this is great advice. I really appreciate it. Some other people have mentioned the QC eras which is very interesting. Some people have terrible rifles but most everyone else’s seem to be pretty good. Glad you enjoyed the video man!
i have one just like that. even put reverse dong and all on it. my front trunion is dated 1970. had it 15 years? always runs, fairly accurate. when WASR 10/63's were being bashed so bad I wondered what the issue was with everybody. mine works fine, awlays has. will never sell it. cool video.
Awesome! I think we always tend to hear the negative experiences louder than the positive ones. Seems like there are definitely a few bad apples but most are great. Mine is staying with me forever too!

Just talked to my local FFL today about doing a transfer of a wasr 10 from Atlantic firearms. Ya don’t have to tell me to knock that out b4 the elections, next years 9th attempt at Colorado assault weapons ban, atf realizing without chevron deference left that import restrictions are constitutional and have historical presidents to shut down these grade A imports we’ve been getting the last few years. The sanctions that were put on china way back in 1992 killing their import firearms dead have never lifted never even eased up at all.
Things are getting crazy again. I hate to see it.
Subbed for the intro, crazy amount of effort for a guy with less than 250 subs. I see you going places bud.
As far as your front sight, get the “magnamatic” tool, it’s O shaped and wraps fully around the front sight assembly instead of U shaped and won’t snap, also not made of pot metal like the UTG and all the other cheap ones are. I got mine out of the AKOU store. Maybe consider applying a little penetrating oil too, not a ton, if it doesn’t move with the magnamatic. Don’t do crazy though, it is supposed to be tight, friction fit is what keeps it from moving.
You must have been shooting a really tiny target if the front sight was completely covering it at 50 yards. lol. Shooting on my little home range, I can clearly see an 8 inch (roughly head sized) target at 75 yards with AK irons.
Also, if you bought the WASR new, you won’t be even close to shooting the barrel out, that’s only at like 15-20k rounds where it will be to that level. Maybe more if it’s sporadic shooting and not burning the barrel out.
I should’ve read the comments first I guess. We are going to give this poor guy Vietnam flashbacks every time he hears the word “magnamatic” 😂
Hahahah dude that’s funny. All good, now I just really know for sure which one to get. It was a pretty small target to be honest. The one I was shooting at when I couldn’t make hits was maybe 4 inches in diameter. I think once I get that tool and get it dialed I’ll be fine. I was just being paranoid that maybe the rifle wasn’t quite so “new’ as I think when I got it. I really appreciate you watching and getting involved! Have a good one!

Love my tricked out wasr10 😊
Awesome! I’d like to really trick out an AK one day
to fix that front sight issue what you need is to get a pair of the polytech sight adjustment tools (assuming they're still available). they will set you back a little more cash than all the cheapo shit out there, but def one of those money well spent purchases if your into ak's. those things are built so solid one pair can last a lifetime.
Oh sweet, thanks. I’ll go searching for one because I need to fix mine. One I got was definitely a cheap one, probably made of pot metal. IMMEDIATELY broke. Appreciate the advice.
@@strongcontendervideo8906 AK Magna matic sight tool is a good alternate. a little pricey but worth it.

Nice video. Maybe the century arms VSKA is the most hated AK today. I own one and havent fired it yet. WASR 10 in my sights for next purchase. For fun only.Maybe they will turn out to be ok rifles.
Thank you! VSKA definitely is hated because of its predecessors. Whether or not it deserves the hate it gets I can’t say. I’ve heard mixed reviews on them but personally can’t say if they are any good or not. WASR was a solid buy for me!
I wanted to get a wasr 10 but they shave the bayonet lugs off and I think thats a deal breaker.
Would be cool to have that. For sure.
Never too many wasr 10 vids. Nice dong in the most pg hetero way. Good opening.
Hahaha never get tired of a guy complimenting my dong. Thanks man!
Yeah my first ak was a gp-1975 from century, gun ran but was canted and very, very ugly , next i got an n-pap which was kinda meh too, traded both for an sgl-21 than bought my first wasr and my ak addiction was founded

Cheap sight tools break easy i hear magna matic is the best
Yes haha mine definitely did. Sweet I’ll check that one out. Thanks!
My first AK (Or any of that style of rifle at all really) was a GP-WASR10 which I bought right after the AWB Sunset. It was... not a good rifle. It was sorta shit with canted sights, tons of mag wobble, the receiver rails started to fail and the the carrier would occasionally pop out of the track as a result (This was after probably 6000 rounds or so). I sold it and bought another one a few years later (WASR10-63). Wood and finish were nicer, but the gun was still sorta trash with haphazard rivets, sights were still slightly canted (but in spec) and the rear sight didn't quite sit flat. I ended up trading it for an A1 Bushmaster later (Along with some cash).
With the Polish and (especially the Zastava) guns coming in country for basically the same money... I don't know why anyone would pick one of these up these days.
If you are looking for a Romanian gun, do yourself a favor and stay away from these new WASR imports and look for a deal on an old SAR-1. That's probably the best deal going on a sub $1000 AKM. I was able to pick one up at a gunstore 6 months ago for about $600.00.
I definitely got lucky with mine only having that sight stuck. Most everything else has been great but I understand that hasn’t been the case for lots of people. I would like to get my hands on a Zastava eventually I think they are very nice rifles. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for sar-1 too. Appreciate the info, thanks for watching!
@@strongcontendervideo8906 Yeah, the SAR family of rifles (SAR-1 7.62/SAR-2 5.45/SAR-3 5.56) were all imported during the ban in around 2000. They lack a bayo lug and a threaded barrel but they are also essentially a full on Romanian Military Spec AKM that was actually issued (in Semi Auto form) to their border patrol.
As stated in novarata.net by Linx310...
"The SAR (Semi Auto Rifle) series of guns were once the flagship Romanian rifle series until importation ceased in late 2003 and early 2004. These rifles were as close as you can get to a general issue eastern block AKM. They are so close in fact that the stampings to drill the third sear hole are even on the receiver.
The SAR series came in three “flavors”. The SAR-1, SAR-2, and SAR-3 from which all were imported from 1999-2004.
Getting a straight answer on why the SAR series ceased importation is hard to come by, most believe that Century Arms and CUGIR could not come to an agreement on price. The other, and more probable is that the BATF gave Century Arms a “Cease and Desist” on SAR importation because when they came in they were not 992 compliant from the start."
They are truly the closest thing you are going to get to a true Com Bloc Mil Spec AKM.
@@michaelthebarbarian3380 ohhh sick. That SAR-2 sounds cool, I’ve wanted a 5.45 ak. I like the fact that they’re as real as it gets too minus the ban restrictions.
If you want some more good mags AoA has a bunch of surplus polish mags

This is so funny. Subscribed.
I’m so glad. I was hoping there were some people out there with my style of humor!
You got yours around the same time I did. You also got lucky and it seems you go a post contractor model. Allegedly cugir/wasr got a contract by a private security/private military company and one of the by products were improved quality control. I don't like the underfolder, but try the kci 20 rounders, you can flip the dong around so it faces forward. I've seen some people shave it down. Me personally I like the Magpul front handguard. The wood makes it too front heavy. If you want a quality mag you can also go for the madsen or the Croatian bho and there were another brand I can't remember but we're also good. I suggest you dip your toes with a PSA AR-15, and don't look back at the money pit ak. 😅😅
Interesting. Is there anything you are seeing on mine that tells you it is the post contractor model? I’m always into learning more about the history of production on these things. I’m curious how you can tell by looking! Very cool!
Wasr10 price after this ↗️↗️
Hahahaha! My sway on the market is STAGGERING!
robski of AK operators union has tons of videos on how to zero your irons. honestly man dial that in, I can hit 200yds standing with my wasr with irons all day. also pull the slide on your rear sight leaf all the way back and see how you hit
@@KerryDSC I got myself a new tool ordered and a more precise front sight for it! The new tool fixed the problem and didn’t break like the cheap one I had before. I’m gonna watch some Robski and get it dialed, thank you!
Good video. Gained a subscriber
Thank you! You’re a real one for that!
