I ordered one from Henderson's Defense years ago. They made sure there was no cant to the sights or other parts. I don't know if they do it anymore. Buying a WASR is always a chance encounter. | |||

Yeah, I knew it would be and that's why I went with a "quality control" version. This one is going back. To all Veterans: your sacrifices are not forgotten. Your sacrifices are honored. Welcome home. For those not home yet, please know that many of us pray for your safe return soon. | |||

Somebody on the East coast, which has a first name like a ocean? If these are the guys, tell them to send you a call tag, return to same, and never do business with them again. IMHO. | |||

I got a decent one, according to my gunsmith. I had him go through it with a fine tooth comb and then had him sent it off to be coated in Black-T. It's been 100% reliable. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

my experience with them also resulted in a Bannana republic WASR, but without the historical value. “QC checked” is either a joke, scam, or they have standards so low as to be completely meaningless. I have long since stopped purchasing from them. | |||

I'm beginning to think they adopted the Russian standard. If the sights can be zeroed at 100 meters, it's "within spec". I've had the same problem with a couple of Yugos bought from other sources. There seems to be a lot of tolerance for canted rear sights, which in turn means the front sights have to be canted in order to work properly. The only surefire solution I've found is to inspect before you buy. As for American made AKs, well, according to the internutz American producers are very much going through growing pains. I'd much rather go to the local gun show and sort through the options available, even if the price is higher. | |||

A friend of mine trained an Iraqi transport battalion about 10 years ago and that involved crates of brand new Romanian AK's. They were subject to many of the problems we typically associate with knuckledragging, hamfisted, gorilla-crossbred Century Arms assemblers. I had two SAR rifles: an SAR 1 {7.62x39} and an SAR 2 {5.45x39}. The "1" was not very accurate and both of them had canted FSB's. The SAR 2 was quite accurate. I eventually bought a pair of windage-adjustable Russian RPK rear sights and fixed the problem. I used those rifles for some years and then finally broke down and purchased an AR. Oh, my... The AK's are gone and the AR's have promiscuously increased to the detriment of other types of shooting tools around this place.     ********************** 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Is that a picture from Red Dawn? Kidding aside, that looks like beautiful country. Not a bad grouping at 200 yards for that rifle. | |||
