As I stated in the other thread im thinking of getting a Wasr10. Centerfire systems has one for 499.99 and im thinking of getting it. Does anyone have any experience with them? Any info is appreciated

Hi Jerrod. I would like one too! I remember after the first BHO election when semi autos went crazy seeing them at the gunshow because nobody else had them. They were selling for 750.00+ and people were buying them too. I had a chance once to but one for 250.00 new in the box but couldn't scratch up the cash fast enough and missed it. I know there are lots of different opinions on these, some trigger slap problems, etc.. But I figure that can be fixed and by now may already be fixed. They are entry level lead sprayers for having fun and that is why I want one. I would be ok with entry level for my first one.

This +1000. 6 free steel mags, 7 free tapco, or a free Romanian drum.

I've dealt with Centerfire before, good company with reasonable shipping.

I bought my Vepr 7.62x54r 20" type 02 through Centerfire. They are reliable, have very good customer service, and they ship everything for 10 bucks or even for free. They didn't charge my card until the firearm shipped. Only complaint I have is their website at the time didn't give you up to date information about your purchase.

Their website just kept saying "Processing" for the status even after I saw a charge on my card days later. I was busy so didn't get a chance to follow up until about a week later after the initial order. When I called them to see what was going on, they were extremely quick and informative of what was going on, gave me a UPS tracking number, and even told me it had been received at my FFL a couple days beforehand. Would have been nice for the web order to give all that information to me in an email or something so I coulda given my FFL all that info before it shipped to his business.

When I told them this, the guy kinda affirmed that their website needed some work. Seemed to me that the whole process would have been handled better just across the phone. Now this was 3 years ago, so they probably have made a lot of improvements to their website in the meantime.

As far as a Wasr 10/63, I actually have the Romanian build that was suggested at J&G, and its not the same one at Centerfire. The Centerfire one has a removable, slant cut, muzzle brake that isn't welded on. It also has a bayonet lug. The one at J&G is the one I have and the muzzle "nut" was welded on and it doesn't have a bayonet lug. I had to take a dremel and cut through the weld to get the muzzle nut off so I could install a muzzle brake, pay for a muzzle brake, and have no option to attach a bayonet.

So you'll have to decide yourself. J&G offer (I've bought from them too and these guys are very good, but their S&H is much higher than Centerfire), get a lot of free mags, but have to do some metalwork on getting that muzzle nut off to get a muzzle brake on, and no bayonet lug, or Centerfire for the same price, no free mags, pay much less for S&H, but yet you get the standard slant cut muzzle brake right away that comes right off and you get a bayonet lug.

Don't envy your decision.

I ordered from centerfire after talking to their customer service via email. The emails I got from them were in broken English which I find kid of worrisome. I purchased 4 extra mags and the price came out around 560 I think? Not to terrible I don't think. as for J&G ive never done business with them either (only really done business with aim to be honest) so I guess ill just see what I get when it gets here. I received an email today with my tracking number for my purchase so im happy in that regard as well. I will for sure post some pics when I pick it up sometime this week or next. Thanks for all the comments and im glad I didn't go with a company with a bad rep ;)

I have ordered from centerfire, and have been to their store..In Kentucky,It was a huge warehouse, with about a 20 ft wide office built on front for the customers..They brought out several examples and we chose from them..my son bought a wasr, and a mauser..the wasr was alittle rough to operate, but firing it helped polish some of the parts and it works better..the sights were not right, but we worked on that..We also bought some real nice russian .22 lr bolt rifles, brand new, trainer type...They sell and have sold tons of US and other surplus equip.. they used to be Carbine suppliers too....plus g-3 rifle parts..Anyway, customer service by internet and in person were good..RH10..

I have bought from Centerfire and J&G and had good experiences with both. I have also owned a WASR-10 and had no problems with it either.

Just placed an order with them yesterday for a Hungarian AMD 65. It shipped today & I got an email with the tracking # which is the first time I've received a tracking # from them so maybe they're finally getting their processes straightened out. Never had a problem with them and I do appreciate their low shipping prices.

Ive had mixed experiences with classic but I love my wasr. I just need to get some ammo to shoot out of it lol
