Gun Review: Century Arms WASR- 1. Romanian AK)“Loose is good.” I think. Watch The Sender Putlocker#. Since that’s really just a hunch, I did the easiest most journalistically- thorough thing and Googled the phrase.
My results? Well, let’s just say they stuck a collective finger in my gut: nearly every hit involved Weight Watchers. Then I repeated the search with the Safe. Search™ filter off, at which point I’d rather not say where the collective finger was sticking. Regardless, other than loose- fitting jeans (and, uh, loose- fitting other things), nothing I could find supported my contention that my friend’s loosey- goosey AK- variant, the WASR- 1. But I still think it is. Apparently, I’m not alone. I’ve always heard that the AK- 4.
Also, I’ve always heard that it’s “the rifle of the revolution.” No civil unrest awaits this particular gun, though. This one is simply “the rifle of Todd.”My pal Todd (owner of the example featured here) is certainly no gun nut. He’s a well- educated and well- rounded critical thinker (and an engineer by trade).
As such, he carefully assessed his firearms needs and decided his best bet was the ultra- affordable AK variety known as the Century Arms WASR- 1. What makes an AK- 4. WASR- 1. 0, you ask? Check out William Montgomery’s TTAG article for the broader AK story.

Now that you’re back, here’s the skinny on this branch of the family tree . In the early Sixties, the Romanian military put a pistol grip on the front hand guard directly beneath the barrel of the then- current AKM version of the Soviet AK- 4. They called it the “Pistol Mitralieră model 1. Decades later, a U. S. company called Century Arms decided to meet U. S. Kalashnikov demand by importing these ultra- cheap AKs. However, several key pieces of 1.
First, a federal law known as 1. USC 9. 22. R stipulated that at least ten major components of any gun categorized by federal law as a “semi- automatic assault weapon” had to be produced domestically. Then, in 1. 99. 4, the infamous Federal Assault Weapons Ban mandated that such weapons could only be sold with 1. Bummer. Because of these legislative shenanigans, most of the WASR- 1. U. S. and installed before the gun could be sold stateside. Also, WASR- 1. 0s sold during the Assault Weapons Ban (1.
Double bummer. All this nanny- state compliance might make you think that the WASR- 1. AK- 4. 7 personality. Nothing could be further from the truth. Todd’s gun is actually a “post- ban, pre- ban” model. In other words, it was one of the many WASR- 1.

However, since the wretched assault weapons ban has gone back to hell where it came from faded from the books – and since exactly no one wants an AK with a ten- round magazine – Century Arms has un- narrowed the well. With a Dremel. In the dark.
While they were drunk. Okay, maybe the mag well isn’t that maligned by the virginity restoration reversal.
But the magazine retention dimples common to most other AK receivers are completely AWOL and the resulting lateral motion of fully- seated 3. What’s not disconcerting: everything else about the WASR- 1. Given the relatively low cost and relatively high degree of post- manufacture modification, I halfway expected a jacked- up looking gun that shot jacked- up looking groups. What I experienced was a very authentic- looking AK that fired consistently decent groups and felt as comfortable as a well- worn pair of (loose) sneakers. Yes, the gun’s general laxity did take some getting used to.
In addition to the magazine well situation, the bolt felt a good bit freer than other rifles I’ve fired lately – more of a “slick- slack” than a “click- clack.” And the trigger seemed a little light, like it traveled a bit too far before the sear broke. However, the quickly- but- progressively building tension just prior to the break is positive enough that the shot won’t ever surprise you. And the 7. 6. 2X3.
Other than several of the commonly- kvetched- about AK annoyances – like a short sight radius, a loud- ass “alert- the- enemy” safety switch, a bolt that doesn’t stay open once the gun is empty, and an Oompa- Loompa- short stock (common to most original AK variants) – firing the WASR- 1. Honestly, Todd and I had a blast, without a single malfunction all afternoon (and we used only the cheapest factory ammo). Finally, as you’ll see in Todd’s video, field- stripping the AK is a breeze. For some folks, a gun that feels so unbound that it could possibly be a Transformer hiding in your gun safe just won’t cut the mustard. Others will admire a design so ruggedly brilliant that ultimate precision wasn’t needed to achieve effectiveness.
Although I tend to agree with TTAG’s Martin Albright about the SKS being better than the AK in a number of ways, the Century Arms WASR- 1. That formula appealed to Todd, just as it’s appealed to several hundred million other users. Specifications: Model: Century Arms WASR- 1.

Mikhail Kalashnikov came up with such a fantastic design that even a low- cost importer who has to cheaply modify it in order to comply with ridiculous government regulations can’t screw it up.
