WASR 10, SAR1 or a G kit build. What do you prefer?????????

BCR#1 · Oct 29, 2006

I had Troy at InRange build me up a 1986 G kit w/ a GT receiver serial#ed to the kit. Receiver has the Romy selector markings. Wood is standard laminated with flat sided lower HG. Romy brown PG.

The action is a little stiff being new, nothing 8-10 mags downrange won't cure. Everyone needs at least one Romy AKM in their collection.

I believe the finish is flat black moly. I'll try to get up a link to a couple pics later today.

ive never fired any AK's other then romys, ive held almost every other AK though, and played with the actions, but for cheapness, extreme reliablity, and value, the romy is definately the one.

I'd rather build a G kit. The one I built is way better than a WASR. And its very satisfying to build your own too.

"G" kit build hands down...

"G" kit = Genuine military AK parts

SAR-1 & WASR-10 = Made for commercial sales...quality isn't as nice.

Don't believe me?

Example: Compare the receiver cover for each one side-by-side sometime...the "G" kit receiver cover will be noticeably thicker...and better formed.

Seriously, if you compare a SAR-1/WASR-10 and a "G" kit to each other, you'll see that the "G" kit is the "real deal".

Between the three choices you mentioned (there are other Romanian choices) I would definitely go for my own built "G" kit. As a matter of fact, I have................ :wink:

I have had all 3. Quality kit build all the way.

My 2003 SAR-1 is made from a G-kit,or are you just sayin you prefer a home built G-kit?

My 2002 SAR-1 is my favorite 7.62. Now I have threaded the muzzle, added a slant brake, added Polish laminate furniture, a G2 fire control group, and refinished in flat black Molyresin, but it was a great rifle before I started the "pimp my ride" routine.

I have a Romy G kit in a drawer just waiting for a rainy day.

I like them all and have 4 romy AK's. But IMHO both the Wasr 10 and Sar1 beat out the G-Kits with their side mounted optics rail.

I had a local gunsmith build me a Romy G kit, and it is a LOT better than a WASR.

Everything from the kit to receiver to compliance parts to labor totalled up to $375 OTD. He didn't refinish the kit and it didn't come with accessories or a mag,, but the price to get a WASR transferred would have been $380 and the rifle has much better construction and a lifetime warranty to boot.

[ETA] My Romy G kit has an optics rail, I lucked out and found on on the EE for $10 shipped(!) so I had it installed when the rifle was built.

No doubt about it, an InRange G kit build would be the tops..
Then SAR and WASR...

Lets see some pics!!!!!!! :wink:
