The VEPR may be a stretch. Fair enough.
But seriously... when did the WASR become the standard for a "stock" AK?
Do a little research. Back when I first got into AK's, WASR's were as bottom-of-the-barrel as you could get. You could get an SAR-1 that was slightly better, but even then you had to worry about canted sights and gas blocks and Century assembly shortcuts. Maybe they're a little better now.
But at $700 (local price), they'd better be.
