Is there anyway to tell how old my WASR10 AK47 is?
I bought a Romanian AK47 about a month ago, and like pretty much every other gun I've bought. I completely stripped it down, and put it back together again just to familarize myself with how it works. Well, the more I played with it, the more I noticed what a really interesting weapon it is. Then I began to wonder where in Romania it was made, was it built from a parts kit, did it ever see combat, and mainly when was it made. I mean from looking at the amount of powder residue and gunk I cleaned out of it I believe it might be fairly old. LoL, Either that or the guy who had it before me was a dork and never cleaned his gun. Anyway, all the serial numbers match up, and I was wondering if there was a website you could go or something to date it that way. I know Browning does serial number dating because thats how I leaned the age and everything about my Challenger III. Basically any information, or history anybody has about the WASR10 AK47 would be really appreciated!
its easy to tell how old it is and where it was made. the left sife of the reciever will have the model and caliber of your AK at the bottom. at the top will be the serial number. that last two digits is the year yours was made. for example mine is AL-xxxx-81. therefore mine was made in 1981. although the markings database on the website i have suppied seems to contradict what my serial number is. on the right side of the receiver will be the name of the arsenal and country it was made as well as the name of the importer. yea and as far as there being lots of powder residue and gunk, i wouldnt worry bout it.....it will still work. they are known for their simplicity and reliablity. ive gone 2000 rnds without cleaning my WASR-10 GP and never had a failure. however i usually go several hundred or so before i clean it. WASR's are great rifles. heres a website that has lots of info on the Romainian AK's. the info i gave was from there. it should answer most of your questions
