    Is a WASR-10 any good? I know it is an AK variant, but don't know much about it. It has the one piece butstock with the built in pistol grip with a big cutout in the middle. Is it legal to change this to a regular butstock and pistol grip? What other modifications can I make legally?

    My WASR-10 is having problems shooting straight. I have adjusted the sights up and down, side to side and nothing works. It is shooting far down and to the right, abouy 12 inches off my aiming point! What causes this? How can I fix it?

    What's the difference between a romanian wasr-10 and a wasr-10 hi-cap? And will a regular wasr-10 accept 30 rd mags?

    On my continuing quest for an AK type weapon, I saw a couple of these at a gun show today. I noticed they were from Romania. Are these of the same quality and reputation as the SAR-1? Anyone with experience with one, I'd like to hear your thoughts.-Marcus

    I believe the wasr 10 is only supposed to take a 10 round magazine, otherwise same.

    Really? The tag on the gun stated "accepts all military AK mags'. Was he full of crap? How do you tell if it's a military mag anyway? Also it had a Draganov stock on it. I find these stocks don't fit my shoulder the way I'd like. How much does it cost to change the furniture on an AK? Is it easy to do?-Marcus

    Evidently, it's easy to "modify" the gun to take hi cap mags, but I believe they are intended for 10 round mags and are subsequently cheaper than an sar-1 because of that. Unfortunately, some people sell them altered for the same price as a sar-1 and make a bigger profit. I learned this because I bought a wasr-10 and when my dealer registered it he explained this to me and showed me his price on a wasr-10 as opposed to a sar-1. It was about $75.00 cheaper.All that aside, it shoots great with the hi cap mags.
