$699 WASR

[UrbanWolf]

I don't know about that.. all I have shot through my non-chromed 74 is russian/bulgarian which is corrosive and haven't had an issue. Camped out at Pawnee, didn't even clean it for 3 days and no issues. If you live in the south east along the coast and are dealing with salty sea air maybe it's an issue.. but then again just run some water through the damn thing and quit being a lazy ass.

Did you check barrel for pitting? I prefer the Russian trick to pee in the barrel.

There's a polytech spiker on theakforum for around 1350 as well as a mak90 underfolder for pretty reasonable too (reasonable for today's standards haha) either way I think chrome lining is a little over rated in a dry climate like colorado but to each their own. Chinese ak's are pretty decent too but in today's market you're probably going to pay a little more than a pap or a wasr. The point of my original post in this thread was (in my opinion) why would anyone buy a wasr over an O-PAP for the same price.

I got the point of your original post, but I'm very much set on getting an "over-priced" Ak in the future. I'd pay even more extra if you have something cool by then.

Not just a trick they were literally taught that according to a friend of mine that's a former Ukrainian spetsnaz I personally prefer windex if I'm worried. But as long as you clean your ak after shooting then you don't have to worry about rusting bores and pitting

Some how folks on AK Files (not Ak forum) have pitting problems very often, most of them are in TX or FL, maybe that's why.

Yeah it's way more humid down there just ask zteknik how it was when he lived in upstate New York

Humid or not.. you aren't going to get pitting after a day of shooting if you clean your rifle.. When I get home I just field strip it, turn on the bathtub faucet and put the chamber underneath. My only problem has been the large amount of carbon that builds up inside the flash hider and on the end of the barrel, that stuff is hard to get out.

Back to WASRs.. They had 2 of them on consignment last year at Gunsport in Boulder when I was in there looking one weekend.. I think they wanted around $800 or so firm.. needless to say I didn't pick one up but they were gone a week later so someone did..

No doubt,but even so with eastern humidity I never had a problem with pitted bores.Normaly I would just run a patch down the bbl with some bore cleaner and call it good until I get a chance to fully clean it which could be a month or so.

Try Ballistol. German made that just to clean corrsive ammo stuff(I think).

One of my feed store customers was just telling me about ballistol today he sells it I think next time I'm there I'm going to buy a bottle of the liquid (has aerosol too) but he uses it on his 74's with great effect
