[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2681815, member: 4606"] I've got a Century imported SAR1. I guess it's a predecessor to the WASR, but all were made to accept hi cap mags. Some of the WASRs were originally made to accept only 10? round mags and were later milled out to accept the hi caps. Quality of the milling varied greatly, and that's one reason WASRs got a bad rap. The SAR is well put together, with good finish on the metal, but the sights are canted left. I thought that was pretty crappy, but then I noticed my Dad's very nice MAK90 also has left canted front sights! Maybe it's not a "flaw", but a "feature"??? I can't comment on the furniture, because I got it from a private party and it had Tapco plastic stocks that looked terrible. I replaced them with East German plastic stocks that are nicer and fit the traditional lines of the rifle. Either way, I adjusted the front sight a bit and it shoots straight. Accuracy isn't bad; I'm probably the limiting factor. It is dead reliable. [/QUOTE]
