Maybe to help get off my SKS fixation, which didn't work, I ended up with another one, anyway. 
I found a Romanian WASR 2 package for sale, it included 3 Russian bakelite magazines and just over 1600rds, about a tin and a half of 5.45 Bulgarian 7n6 surplus ammo for sale, I even got another can opener out of it. I made what I thought was a fair offer to the seller, 2 days later I got a response. I had skirted around one back in the day due to quality issues when they were still coming in, but I finally went and took the plunge, 10 years later. After shooting it, I only asked myself, why didn't I do it sooner, little to no recoil or muzzle flip vs. the x39 variant. Like a typical Romanian built Ak, function is more important than looks, it's got some rough finish parts, but it worked, perfectly. The previous owner put a Tapco trigger in it, which was pretty decent, no trigger slap. It does have the typical canted sights, just a hair to the right, but you would never notice it in the way it shoots. About a week after I got it, I stumbled on a deal for 3 East German bakelite magazines, I drug them home too
Great.....another caliber to feed...
I almost wish someone had made an SKS in this caliber..
