The WASR-10 is a Romanian import, its a stamped/riveted reciever
I have one and it shoots and shoots and shoots...in fact it LOVES the ultra low quality WOLF stuff out there
Here is a picture of my lil darlin
I got mine from Pruetts guns and ammo
Yah the scope mount is like putting lipstick on a pig..but it allows me to keep all 30 rounds in a 8-12" circle at 100 yards
$500 is WAAAAY to much
