With the amount of views and information your content provides it baffles me you only have 50k subs. Thanks for doing the work, the us ak community is better for it. Thanks misha
I would bet the average subscriber to this channel is a much more experienced and knowledgeable gun owner. You don’t come here for the short shorts and dirty jokes. I’m sad to hear he is changing but tired is tired.
I mean this only in the most positive way... these videos help me get to sleep. With my insomnia and NEVER being able to sleep... this is how I fall asleep. Finally got a solid 6 hours sleep last night and woke up to these videos. Holy crap was that awesome. Super weird dreams, but sleep is sleep. Your videos help me sleep and walk up firing on full mags in the morning. Much appreciated!
Misha, in recent I've been kind of fed up with guns because of prices of everything. But watching your video, especially historical or cool topics like military AKs really make the hobby more fun. Or adding original parts and doing conversions. So much fun can be had with things you already probably have.
Where have I been? Jay stepped away? I completely missed that somehow. I'm sure you do not want to reexplain that here but if you or someone could direct me to a video where this is explained that would be appreciated.
How about uncle? I'm not 'That' old yet to be in dad territory...and i just realised I am the exact same age now that my grandfather was when I was born...*sigh* lol.
Great video as always my friend. Romys might not win any beauty contest but out of all the rifles I own or have ever owned my 1968 GP WASR 10/63 UF is my all time favorite. I'm sure you're pretty fond of yours too.
As my collection of Combloc small arms expands, the attention to detail and emphasis on the technical/historical aspects of Warsaw Pact hardware that this channel shares is the benchmark I personally aspire to.
My Century Paratrooper has a shorter gas system than my RH10. Also noteworthy that the RH10 has different scope mount placement and a RPK style windage adjustable rear sight. Kinda strange how these coexist but I like the weirdness
Yeah, the RPK rear sight was something M+M specified for their M10 back at the beginning. There are at least 3 lengths of gas system: standard AKM, shorter, and shortest. The difference in the last two is actually quite small. Then of course the Mini and Micro Dracos have tiny gas systems but those are commercial only.
I've seen your video on MAK-90's and it's full of great info. If you could make a video about how to convert it to a normal looking AK would be super helpful. You've talked about the recievers being strait or slanted, and the steel being 1.6mm vs the normal 1mm. Im trying to replace the thumbhole stock on my MAK but I keep reading that because of the 1.6mm steel it is difficult or may require further sanding down the stock in order to fit. Your expertise around this would be greatly appreciated, examples of online retailers that curtail to the MAK90, or tips on the best method of fitting a normal AKM stock into the MAK reciever, info surrounding this is few and far. Thanks!
Personally, I'd leave it intact. It's kind of a unique piece of firearms history in its own right. So many people change them that one day it may in fact be worth more unaltered. Also keep in mind that you will more than likely need a double stack bolt/carrier and a headspace adjustment for the new bolt as well.
Kinda sad that this will be your last video on Romanian AKs….. thanks to you and Rob Ski from AKOU, the wasr10 was and is my first and only AKM….. it’s all I can afford and I love it! Take care sir!!
Yup, at first I was going to modify the hell out of my WASR, (ultimak, kns, trigger, safety, hook, muzzle, furniture, etc.) but after seeing Misha appreciate it for what it is I settled for a $7 Romanian sling and I'm perfectly happy, it's so complete.
@@thirteen12 Just take the money you would have put into all those things, put into ammo, and enjoy at the range. I am not against modding guns if that's really useful to the owner, but in my experience, a lot of the time the mods turn out to be of limited benefit or even disliked.
I don't think i said it would be my last Romie AK video. I think i said it would be the last one of the old style...or something like that. I've slept since recording this one lol. Actually, i say in this video that I will be reviewing the wASR10v2 in a future video. I really want either an AES2 or Draco in 5.45mm in the worst way.
I am new to AKs so my question may be stupid but…do all versions of Romies share the same firing mechanism? trigger, piston, bolt etc? Thank you for your videos and information, I am learning a lot !
@@misha5670 thank you! I just got my wasr 10 v2. Unfortunately the gas tube and gas block are not aligned properly. It should not prevent the rifle to cycle but looks weird.
I would kind of like to get an SAR-3 and convert it. That's one variant I've never owned personally. I've had the 'Champion 2007' pistol, which was the Draco in 5.56 and several WASR3s in the store but *shrug*.
So do I understand correctly that the "Paratrooper" PM90 is a KIND of WASR 10/63 ? ..like there were different styles of 10/63's and the "Paratrooper PM90" was one of those styles?
No, the only types of 10/63 are fixed stock, and underfolder. PM. Md. 90 is the Cugir designation for a 16in rifle equipped with a wire folding stock and dong handguard and is one of the most popular ways to dress up a Romanian AKM. There is also an PM. Md. 90 carbine with is essentially a draco with a side folding stock. I've never heard these variants described as "paratrooper"
Hey misha I recently picked up my first 74 , a Bulgarian circle 10 all matching numbers and original barrel on a nodak receiver by TGI, my question is can I still call it a slr105 or does is have to be a Bulgarian receiver? It looks like your rifle , like Basically twins , if you could help me out with a answer I would really appreciate it , thanks for the knowledge !
"SLR105" is a specific designation for a specific semi-auto civilian rifle imported from Bulgaria. You may call your rifle anything you like but 'SLR105" wouldn't at all be correct. Yours is really an 'AK74' just semi instead of full auto.
@@misha5670 what is your opinion on them if you have handled one with a spud receiver ? I traded a Anderson ar15 and m92 zpap pistol for it and 1200 rounds pf 7n6 , come to find out how collectable 74s are now I had now clue . thank you for clearing that up kind sir I'm just glad its all matching numbers with low round count . now I'm just thinking if it's as reliable as a slr105 , it seems like a very solid build by TGI but like I said first 74, guess its just gitter cant wait to get it to the range
@@rshacklefird6182 DCI/NDS has been making very good US receivers for 2 decades.

There are several characteristics about the Romanian variants that sets them apart. A few are: military grade parts on civilian guns, incredible barrels, made from Russian dye, variety of guns/calibers, universal parts, history, I could go on…
My only experience with the Romanian AKs has been less than satisfactory, I picked up what looked like a gently used Romak 2 ak74, brought it to the range put about 180 rounds through it and noticed that a bunch of the rounds had popped primers, bought a set of headspace gauges and come to find out it’s swallows The No go gauge, and I’ve had a lot of people tell me that these particular ones were known to come brand new in the box with bad headspace, and with the state of the market being what it is everyone is so freaking busy I can’t find a specialist to actually work on it
You forgot to mention the best part about wasr 10/63. 99% of wasr 10/63 have the cugir arsenal stamp on the trunnion. But a very small number of wasr have been found with the sadu and the ratmil arsenal stamps which is incredibly rare and considered sought after by collectors.
A lot of the 10/63's from the late 1980s don't have the Cugir mark on the trunnion, although they were still made there. Cugir just stopped marking stuff.
What do you know about Wasr 3's I've thought about emailing you, but this seems more an appropriate situation to ask. :) there seems to be NO information on these early 5.56 romanian Cugir Akms
SAR-3 came first in 1999-2000. WASR-3 replaced it in 2003-2004. Century imported them for about a decade but in small numbers. Basically? its a WASR-2 but in 5.56 instead of 5.45. Also Century never bothered to deban them by adding a bayonet lug. As for threading, those that came from Romania with threaded muzzles had a very weird pitch. Something like 12mm or 13mmm.
Thanks for the reply. Who ever did it did a great job, literally undistinguishable from original. It is one of my favorites, very simple, reminds me of the Russian AKM.
@@zeme0556 Yep, they are very easy to deban. No gunsmithing required to swap furniture, easy to thread the muzzle with hand tools, and as for the bayo lug? One can either weld one back on (like Century does) or just swap gas blocks. I debanned my SAR2 and PSL to give lugs, but only threaded my SAR1. I didn't see much reason to trouble with switching gas blocks since a bayo still clips on for things like pictures just fine.
@@misha5670 do you have any idea why that would be there? I came up with same thing. They weren't being made there in 57. Its a really nice rifle, smooth shooter, had the pre- tapco trigger. No markings on trigger, theres trigger slap some times. Here's what it reads on side of trunion AS-1952-70 RO On the right side of reciever it reads. Made by CN romarm sa/cugir. Any info regarding this would be awesome. Thank you so much.
Get a wasr, just inspect for canted stuff, I have 3 and have owned 5 over the years with only one having slight canting issues, my oldest a 2013 dated, gp-10 has around 10k rounds through it
@@chadivanbober4026 Yeah I'd probably end up getting a WASR 10. Still got other higher priority AKs to get, but it's definitely on the list. Although preferably I'd like to find a nice SAR-1 in good shape as my Romanian example of an AKM.
@@cajuncatfish5417 Can confirm, the SAR1 is among the better ones to get. I recommend a 2000-2002 model. The '99s were a bit more hit-miss since it was Century's first year working with them. The handguards on my GP-WASR10 in this video came off my 2nd SAR1 that I bought in 2003 (and was 2002 dated). They did a run of them with dark blued topcovers (oxide?) and really neat laminated wood with an oil finish.
@@cajuncatfish5417 the GP 10/63s are more collectible, especially the early ones like mishas 69 underfolder. They have more milled parts vs cast. myself and others believe the bolts and carriers are better/harder due to the overly hard tapco g2 hammer not peening the carrier like a lot of the later ones (either way first thing I do is put a Romanian trigger group back in there)
@@misha5670 Yeah I'm gonna hold out for a later SAR-1 I think. I almost had one a couple of years ago. I was buying some guns off a very elderly gentleman selling off most of his guns and he said he had an SAR-1 he'd sell me for $500. Unfortunately he didn't know where it was so I went to his house and spent a couple of hours digging through 40+ years worth of clutter and never found it. I did find two MAK90s and procured them, but I really wanted that SAR-1. Poor guy was basically chair-ridden. He had fought in Vietnam and Agent Orange was taking its toll on him. I'll never forget what he replied with when I said "thank you for your service." He just chuckled dryly and gave me a knowing look and said "yeah well I'm paying for it now."

Just picked up a Romanian M44 to add to my romy collection. Love collecting Romys idk why.
I have the Romak 991 in the single stack variance. Since I only have one magazine, should I open up the magwell to accept double stack magazine?
Yes you should be a normal person
Either that or hawk it to some poor sap in a ban state at a premium and buy a new wasr

I'll never forget what he replied with when I said "thank you for your service." He just chuckled dryly and gave me a knowing look and said "yeah well I'm paying for it now."
So are u going off for good I sure hope not?
Love your videos
I think you need a draco in your collection
Got the WASR10/63KR. Its a rarer bird and a lot of fun too.
That ak with the dong, what sling is that?
All slings are Romanian.
Love WASR 10, get 2.
They are great basic AKs. Good for projects or just to use as every-day shooters.
My limited experience. I found the Romanians have just a little more play with the bolt and bolt carrier.
Yep, that's fair. Still within spec but they do tend to wiggle & jiggle a bit more.
I've had some pretty tight Romys. You want loose, you should pick up a misr s/a
@@josephthomas8318 ? Is that a typo. I only understand SA for finish guard stuff.
Your dong would go great with my stock cause they both say DANA on them haha. Great video as always
Me at 3:07 AM getting ready to go to bed after a long night of talking to my girlfriend. Now I see Misha posted, who needs sleep?
Oh I 'need' it. Just I don't sleep well and have a lot i should get done today.
Man you should have 300,000 subs at least
What do you think of the Russian ammo ban? Have they banned components?
👍🏻👍🏻
Algorithm
Wassenaar Arrangement Semi-automatic Rifles
That's the rumor but its never been prooven and that agreement has nothing to do with a firearm like the WASR10 either.
Romanian aks are the worst in Iraq Iran war they had so many problems
Source?
@@misha5670 my dad was general in sadam time the Romanian AKs given to the Volunteer people units. Republican Guard use Russian aks
