I hear and read that some people think the Romanian WASR 10 AKM’s or AK-47’s are junk. I for one have been wanting to buy an AK-47 but I’m careful in which one I buy for the simple reason, I don’t want a piece of junk. So I’m really interested to find out, are they junk or not and what are the issues with them. I read quite a few posts on some gun forums and it seems that the problems with the Romanian WASR 10 AK-47’s are the following: • Magazine wobble • Canted front sight and /or gas block • Bad rivets • Poor accuracy • Poor magazine well machining • Trigger Slap From what I have read these issues are found only on older Romanian WASR 10’s and not anything remanufactured in the US after 2008. If you have a WASR 10 that was remanufactured by a US company after 2008, then you will have a much better weapon. Century Arms is one company that remanufactures AK-47’s.

Firearm Discussion and Resources from AR-15, AK-47, Handguns. I've never seen an imported Romanian AK with the serial number on.

Apparently they have much better quality control in place now. There is little magazine wobble, quality riveting, better accuracy and better machining. So now the big question is “How do I know when a WASR 10 was remanufactured in the US?” The first clue as to when the AK-47 was remanufactured is by examining the lettering on the receiver.

Is it sloppy and looks like it was done by hand or is it perfect like a typewriter? You want the perfect lettering which indicates more modern gunsmithing. 2nd cluewhat type of trigger does it have? Tapco USA G2? The Tapco G2 trigger is a good one and eliminates the trigger slap issue.

The MAK-90 is a Chinese factory built AK model exported to the USA from China from 1990 through 1994 by two Chinese export companies:. Following the import ban in 1989, the Chinese developed an AK which met the 'sporting purposes' clause. (The earlier AKs were banned because of their 'evil' features: pistol grips, folding stocks, threaded muzzles and bayonets.) The new model was basically an AK with a wood thumb-hole stock and no bayonet lug (although you do sometimes see MAK-90 receivers with under-folder holes drilled and filled). Around a million MAK-90s were exported to the USA in the early 90s. According to 'JA,' of AK47.net, more MAK-90 rifles were imported from China than any other model of semi automatic AK type rifle from any other country.
