It is and was a great entry level AK. It is a Comm Block made rifle, but when they went from the Pre Bans (SAR series) to WASR's, I didn't follow much. BUT, the SAR series I have is always reliable. It may benefit from a nice cercoat rework, because the parkerized finish of all Romanian rifles is lackluster at best. The gun should work great, except as mentioned, the WASR can get canted from sight towers. Not sure how difficult that is to fix?? But with the side rail, as your friend has done, add a red dot or LPVO and you should be good. Length of pull will be short, like built for Asians, but it is still very usable.
I am unsure if the WASR's have any issue with mag well opening? Some mags might not fit it? Just check as many types as you can get your hands on.
Is he selling it to you, or just asking for information? Values, yeah, go with what others say. I haven't been in that market for some time. I bought mine for $269.00 years ago!
