As a newbie on this forum and new to the AK 47.
I did some reading here and found some great information.
After following some of the advice presented here I cleaned my GP WASR 10/63 that I purchased at a local gun show here in Central Oklahoma for $604. out the door.
It came with 2-30 round mags and a bayonet. It was listed at $550. but the state takes its due. After cleaning it I put 30 rounds through it in my backyard at about 50 paces approximately 125 ft.
My grouping was low and to the left using the p setting on the open sights. Upon looking at the front sights it was slightly to the left of center.
I corrected this using a rubber mallet and a wooden dowl. I moved the rear sight up one notch to the 1 and fired another 30 rounds destroying the red dot on the target.
I found 762x39 Tula Ammo at our local Academy for $5.19 a box of 20, no limit as to how much you can buy. Wally World sells it at $5.49 a box of 20 and local gun stores are asking anywhere from $7. to $8. a box of 20. Being retired and pushing 70 yrs old, I can only purchase 5 to 10 boxes a month with the Academy store my choice.
I found my WASR to be manageable to fire and easy to maintain. Thanks to all for the information I recieved reading through this forum.
