Oops, I had this posted in the wrong section! Fixed now. Sorry, mods!
A hypothetical buddy of mine was looking for a decent SKS (not me, since I don't own any guns, of course), but ran across a WASR-3 AK in 5.56 for the same price as a decent SKS. This buddy is a little disappointed by the lack of stripper-clip loading, but oh well....
I have heard horror stories about jamming issues, unless one uses a particular east-german magazine. Or the Romanian magazines that came with it.
True? False? FUD?
Is $800 a fair price for one, given the current panic conditions?
Here's a couple photos with various model numbers and such. Needs a good cleaning and a little rebluing in a couple places, but $800 seems good at the moment, if it can be made to feed reliably..... My hypothetical buddy hasn't gotten a chance to hypothetically shoot it yet, as all he has at the moment is a bunch of empty .223 brass needing reloaded right now (not having owned a rifle in that particular caliber for several years), so I have no idea if this one has the feeding issues or not....
Thanks, all!
