Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key inspection points for a Romanian WASR 10/63 AK-47?

Key inspection points include checking for a canted front sight post, assessing magazine wobble, ensuring the bolt carrier cycles smoothly without binding, verifying proper stock-to-receiver fit, and performing a function test for trigger slap. These checks help ensure a reliable firearm.

Is magazine wobble a serious issue on WASR rifles?

Some magazine wobble is normal on WASR rifles, as they are often imported in a single-stack configuration and modified stateside. As long as the wobble does not prevent reliable feeding or function, it is typically not a cause for concern.

How can I check for a canted front sight on a WASR AK-47?

To check for a canted front sight, ensure the rifle is unloaded. Then, look down the barrel from the muzzle end. The front sight post should appear centered in relation to the barrel. Minor cant is acceptable if the rifle can still be zeroed.

What is 'trigger slap' and how is it detected on an AK-47?

Trigger slap is a sharp jolt felt on the trigger finger after the hammer falls. It can be detected by manually cycling the action and performing a function test, listening and feeling for any excessive hammer follow or a distinct slap sensation.
