Well after getting the rifle home I first did a little clean up. I used two cans of degreaser, put on a light coat of oil, and did a quick refinish job on the furniture. I think the rifle looks pretty dang good for about 2 hours worth of work! I was a little worried because of all the bad things I've heard about the fit and finish of the WASR series.
Today I brought it to the range and to my suprise it shot pretty well with no site adjustment. I am going to have to do a small windage adjustment next time I am at the range. I didn't have a hammer with me this time which is what I've read you need to do the adjustment. I was shooting 2-3 inch groups at 75 yards. Not even close to what I can do with my AR but this was my first day with it. The damn thing felt more like my 12 gauge than my AR, and I loved it.
Anyway at first I listened too much to the naysayers and I was regretting the purchase for a couple days. After shooting it I love it. I love the look of it. It's brutish. I like that I can take it out in the field and get down in the dirt and mud without worrying about ruining the finish like most of my other guns. For the price I couldn't be happier.
