I was offered a WASR 10 in a trade deal a while back. The trade deal was for a $400 item. I did some looking around but turned it down. I am thinking about seeing if the offer still stands. I have read about the canted sights and the mag wobble. Saw on a you tube video where WASR stood for "what a crappy rifle". I have also read on a forum where plenty of guys that own them say they love theirs and they always go boom.
I have never owned an AK but would like to. My dad has a few SKS and a mini 30 so I am familiar with the caliber. Does the mag wobble ever get so bad that it affects function? Is it something I could fix? Could I get another receiver for a decent price that would work on it? I am more concerned with "does it function" than "it is not as smooth as an Arsenal". How hard would canted sights be to fix? I am fairly handy with tools and have friends that are better at it than me. I have built an AR receiver, not that it is that hard. Thanks in advance for any first hand knowledge.
