New Production WASR
AKBLUE:
Don't worry about it. The WASR furniture and receiver are not military. The inspection level or acceptance may not be either. If it works., shoot & enjoy.
The jury is still out on the USA made AK types.
Cast parts on firearms., milspec and not., are quite common.

That being said Cugar has been making military grade rifles for decades VS Century's whole 2 years in the AK game. The 1st GWB RAS has received fitment issues which Century confirmed to be true. The 2nd GWB resolved those however users have been reporting abnormally fast wear on key parts like the bolt, hammer, as well as a reported and proven fracked from trunion within the 1st 300 rounds.
Like it or not Century is new to the AK production game and they are going to have a lot of growing pains and those pains are going to be felt buy the buyers of their AK's. What they did do right was make sure to flood all of the most popular YouTube channels with their rifles and ammo too ensure we hear about them 500 times a week.
Would I buy one? Nope I would not until they are proven reliable for thousands and thousands of rounds.

Good points Hodgie, in my original post I should have stressed that my biggest concern was of cast front trunions. I know that there are a lot of cast parts on military rifles floating around out there but I was unaware of cast front truions on AKs in military use.

Another vote for wasr. The new wasr 10's are actually good to go. I have no room in my safe for an american made ak.

My 10/63 will do 2" groups at 100 yards, the newer wasr10 3+1/2" groups. Thats was with russian current production ammo. With a scope on the rail. Both have been totally reliable!!!
