WASR, NPAP, other AKs

[gun guy17]

I guess WASRs are better than they're made out to be. Ever seen trouble with one?

Not with the newer ones. The ones from 10 years ago were notorious for canted sights and horrible finishes.

Whats everybody's opinion on the Romanian sar 1's? Nobody really talks about them, where do they stand these days?

That's a nice KBI imported Hungarian SA 85M, long piston, ban style AKM. You might call it a Hungarian MAK-90.

Yeah. MAK-90's are good. I had a very nice Norinco that I kick my butt for selling. Got a premium price but never got another one. The milled receiver makes them a little heavier but they are nice. Saw some nice Egyptian Maadi ARM's also. Another question. Under folder or side folder? Which one?

Side folder ALL day Every day. Lock up is super tight like a fixed stock.

No matter what country of origin an under folder will wobble and begin to sag with time

Good, came out in AWB era, IIRC, so no evil features, but better quality that WASR, IMHO.
SAR1 was in 7.62x39, SAR2 was 5.45x39, SAR3 was 5.56x45

SKS is a good rifle. I prefer the original configuration. I bought one right before they went sky high and wish I hadn't sold it. Being broke in college raised such challenges

Any 5.45 cal in WASR price territory?
