AK47's at Gander

[duffman0286]

i paid $350 for mine (barrel nut no bayonet tang)and i dont think id pay a dime over than for another wasr 10, great fun rifle for a weekend shooter but not worth $500 by a long shot... watch the classified and gunshows id buy a yugo for that

i would definately pass on a wasr for $500. they are rough shooting ak47s.

Got my AK. Did a trade, and it was taking out targets dead on at 50 yds. Put 60 rounds through it. It's a WASR 10/63.

Mine isnt rough at all, I must have got a decent one ? Bought mine at the gun show back in march for $419 came with 3 mags.

i personally refuse to buy firearms from gander mountain. they have average prices on high volume items such as 870's or 10/22's but everything else is way high and their customer service is heinous.

There really not rough at all i dunno why everone has to trash the wasr's so bad there great rifles for what they are.... and thats a very basic ak.... there buy not means a collector ak but a service rifle... oh yes..... probly the biggest reason people hate the wasr is it a century rifle they mass produce them and when you mass produce them they have flaws.... there wood is rough, some have canted front sight post, sloppy mag wells,ect.... ( and being a marine and handling the number of ak's i have they all have about the same issues) its a battle rifle not a fine sniper rifle

Congrats on your wasr enjoy it i know i enjoy mine

I'm with duffman0286 the wasr 10 is a battle rifle. and at around 14 cent around to fire its damn cheep,basic and fun.

 

[bevilsiz]

That is a very good point. The one I got is very solid from what I could tell. All I cared was that it shot, and sturdy. Looks didn't bother me much. It's kind of like shooting a .22 but more fun.

Wasr's mostly shoot great, great way to get into AK type rifles! I've always heard that the 10/63's were a little better quality than the standard 10's but who knows. As long as the mag wobble wasnt bad and sights aren't canted it's an AK. Have fun and congrats on getting one!

 

[Saiga223]

Congrats man, enjoy your purchase. Almost every gun has it's flaws, just enjoy it for what it is worth to you.

 

[bevilsiz]

Yup, very little wobble & even then its still solid in the gun. I'm looking for ammo now.

Any of the major online suppliers have 7.62 in stock, Bradis had quite a bit when I was there last Friday!

 

[bevilsiz]

Bradis has plenty. You get a little more for your money online. Even after shipping.

True, I try and support local gun shops as much as possible though. I do still get some online on occasion though. Do what suits you, it all pretty much shoots the same.

 

[bevilsiz]

Agreed!

Gander Mtn prices are usually high unless it's one of the sale items that they list in their flyer. I've heard of people finding good deals on used guns at Gander, but I've never spotted one.

 

[bigjross2002]

Cant wait to see gander selling 400 dollar AKs at 800 a piece. For a company with such buy power they sure go out of their way to pass on the savings to the customers.

 

[twostepadin]

gander is a good place to handle one, but buy em someplace else. its more than a mom&pop thing. its a terrible price on almost everything kinda thing.

also you might look at a yugo over a wasr, but that really is just my opinion.

best of luck with whatever you do.

 

[stroyed]

Stay away from Gander Mountain. Over-priced guns and **** poor staff. The worst sporting goods store ever. I was more impressed with Walmart when they sold guns.

The ONLY thing I've ever found a deal on over there was ammo...and even then, it wasn't that great of a deal.
