The WASR 10 is an AK variant, partially manufactured and partially imported by Century Arms.Per firearms regulations, imported guns of this nature need some American parts to be compliant with the 922 regulations, 6 parts I believe.Some parts are made here and assembled with the Romanian parts to produce the WASR10.
The gun is AK reliable with any mixture of ammo feeding flawlessly through any available AK magazine.
Sights are rudimentary and crude, the trigger is military grade and not too bad overall.
Accurray is nonexistant. Hitting a 4x8 sheet of plywood consistently at 100 yards is impossible with any ammo, hollowpoints, solids or soft points, and this is from a rest. My old Mossberg 30-30 was producing 3 shot groups that could be covered with a 50 cent piece, and my 44 pistol was giving 5 shot, 5 inch groups at 100 yards also.
A 30-30 is not a target gun, if I can get some accurray out of an old 30-30, a 44 handgun, on the same day as the AK, it is the AK underperforming, not me.At 50 yards, i could hit a man sized target most of the time.The accuracy worsened between 50 and 100 yards.
I traded this gun in. In a house,this would be quite a defensive weapon, except for potential overpenetration.
I used this gun once in a defensive manner. A dispute among neighbors became ugly and spilled over onto my property as one neighbor sought refuge.Several car loads of thugs called by one of the neighbors rolled up at the end of my driveway. They were cussing and threatening me. I retrieved the AK and a lawn chair, held the gun above my head and out to the side so that it was visible. Suddenly I was no longer a list of obscenities, but was now Mr. and Sir.
"We are waiting for the police, sir."When the police pulled in, I put the gun away.The mere appearance of the gun is intimidating. I am not recommending brandishment, or resorting to deadly force. If only my neighbors were involved, and not the car loads of thugs, I would have taken no action.
Verdict: functions, feeds, reliable, intimidating. Due to its lack of accuray, not worth owning.
