Price check on a WASR 10 AK

[U.S. Patriot]

The local shop has a Century Arms WARS 10, it is in really good shape with matching numbers. I'm no AK expert, but they have $425 on it. Is that a little high on price? It also has the dust cover with scope rail, do not know if it comes with the normal dust cover. If I where to buy it. The dust cover would have to go, along with the hand guards and stock.

yeah its high. buy here >> Romanian AK WASR-10 7.62x39 Rifle and you will not have to pay taxes, only shipping. then have it sent to a local FFL dealer named: profire arms who is offering free transfers till the end of january.

or better yet .... buy one used and dont pay more than $350 for a wasr-10

Yeah, seems a little high. I bought a rare model Century wasr back in November, also bought a century Maadi at the same time. I paid $600 for the pair.

If you have a Dunhams Sporting Goods around your area check with them there usually always on sale for $369 for the double stack!

Actually, I would buy it from Henderson Defense.

They sell them for $409 and they "certify" them. Century WASR 10's are known to have a handful of problems ranging from canted sights, improperly cut magazine wells to broken stocks, etc.

For $409 you get a rifle that Henderson has inspected and given their stamp of approval to. It won't have any of the common problems.

If you buy from another company, while they may exchange a problem rifle, you're still stuck paying for shipping and even FFL transfer fees on the replacement. Any savings you thought you had quickly evaporate and you wind up paying even more than what your dealer wanted to charge.

The shop owner contacted me, and let me know that he sold it. He said it came with a folding stock, besides the stock that was installed. On top of a cleaning hit and (3) thirty round mags. With all the extras and the condition, I would have gladly gave $425.

Ya win some, ya lose some. I'm going to try and pick one up soon, before the price goes up any more.

I wouldn't loose any sleep over missing out on that deal.

WASR's are bottom of the barrel, no offense to all of you WASR lovers out there.

Haha, bottom of the barrel is about all I can afford to spend on one at the moment. Lol

I currently own Maadi, which I love. I was looking at it for a project gun. I have still not made up my mind what I'm going to buy, when I get my tax money.
