The Century Arms WASR-10 represents a semi-automatic adaptation of the Romanian Pistol Mitraliera model 1963/1965 service rifle. This robust platform is configured with a fixed synthetic stock and forend, designed for utility in recreational shooting and hunting applications.
Key Features
Barrel Construction
The rifle incorporates a 16.5-inch hard chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel, crucial for mitigating bore wear and enhancing corrosion resistance. The hammer forging process contributes to barrel longevity and consistent bore dimensions, while the chrome lining facilitates cleaning and extends service life. A 1:10-inch twist rate is specified, engineered to stabilize standard 7.62x39mm projectiles effectively.
Receiver and Ergonomics
Constructed with a black steel stamped receiver, the WASR-10 utilizes a proven manufacturing method that balances durability with a manageable weight profile. The rifle features a durable synthetic stock and a polymer pistol grip, providing weather resistance and positive control under varying conditions, enhancing practical utility and field performance.
Trigger System
This iteration integrates the RAK-1 trigger group, an improved component designed to optimize trigger pull characteristics for enhanced shooter interface and consistent operation, contributing to controlled shot placement.
Operational Design
As a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, the WASR-10 operates on the reliable long-stroke gas piston system, recognized for its robust performance in diverse environments. Its 30+1 capacity provides substantial on-board ammunition for sustained activity without frequent reloads.
