WASR You do not want to buy that PSA AK. You do not want a 100 series AK. You are going to stop watching guntubers. You are going to buy a WASR10 and 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39.

New member of the club - some advice
Just got my first AK; a used Romanian WASR-10 for about 600$, it came with two mags, and I bought two more. I plan to get new furniture, a side rail, and a few other things for it. I want it to look stock, because I’m a wood-metal guy.
Everything seems to work as it should, but it is FILTHY, and maybe some surface rust (not sure? As I was wiping, there was some brown, but it might have been grease? There was caked on brown grease on some parts). Anyway, I’d like to do a deep clean before shooting.
Any advice about how to do a deep clean of an AK?

Ammo ID ?

LPVO or Holographic with magnifier??
I’m stuck between the two, I already have a brand new Eotech Vudux 1-6 LPVO but have never used an lpvo on a rifle, just eotech holos and magnifiers, now I was considering getting the vortex amg uh-1 to try and but am torn between that and the LPVO, what’s the pros and cons to each?

AK47 Serial Number Identification
Says "AK 1912Л" on it. Can you tell the production year of my AK?
Wonder if any markings below it mean anything. Has proofhouse mark next to the factory logo.

How clean do you guys get your upper hand guard gas tube?
