Read “My Stock Rules” before you use.

My Century Arms International WASR-10 AK-47 clone semi-automatic rifle I bought back in 2004. The AK receiver is made in Romania at Cugir Arms as a unit that will only accept single-stack magazines holding 10 rounds or less to comply with US Importation laws. When the units are shipped to Century, the magazine wells are widened out to accept standard AK rifle magazines and drums, and are assembled using a mix of foreign and domestically made AK parts, the latter required to qualify the gun as “U.S. made” as importation in this configuration has been banned since 1989. As I bought it in 2004 right before the “sunset” of Bill Clinton’s infamous 1994 “assault weapons “ ban, it came without a flash hider or bayonet lug. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, and fires in semi-auto only as full autos are a massive and expensive hassle for a US civilian to obtain. I have one 20 round, three 30 round and 1 40 round magazine for the gun. There are numerous cosmetic differences between a Century WASR-10 and a genuine military AK you should note if using this as art reference.

Left side full view of gun with 30 round magazine inserted. Note most cold war era AKs in 7.62x39mm would not have the scope rail that mine does.

WA part refers to the type of ban was in place at the time, therefore the rifle was designed to comply to whatever restrictions were in place, whether it be hi-capacity mags, bayonets, etc. The SAR (which was the original Romanian series) part stands for semi-automatic rifle. Hope that some of this info helps.
