Century Arms GP WASR-10 HI-CAP 7.62x39mm Semi-Automatic Rifle RI1805-N

The Century Arms GP WASR-10 is a 7.62x39mm semi-automatic rifle built on the proven Kalashnikov platform and designed for shooters who want an affordable, rugged, and customizable AK-pattern rifle. Manufactured by Cugir Factory and imported by Century International Arms, the WASR-10 has earned a solid reputation as a no-frills, dependable option for hunters, sport shooters, and AK enthusiasts. Whether you're new to the platform or a seasoned operator looking for a budget-conscious setup, this rifle delivers the reliability you expect from Kalashnikov engineering without unnecessary bells and whistles.

The GP WASR-10 combines traditional wood furniture with a black polymer pistol grip and features adjustable iron sights for field-ready accuracy out of the box. The 16.25-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity and maneuverability, while the 1:10 twist rate is optimized for the 7.62x39 cartridge. At 7.5 pounds and 34.25 inches overall, it's a handy rifle that won't wear you out during a day in the field or at the range. The rifle's semi-automatic-only operation and 922(r) compliance modifications make it street-legal across the US, and the 30-round capacity gives you practical magazine compatibility with existing AK magazines.

One of the WASR-10's greatest strengths is its role as a platform for customization. The AK platform has decades of aftermarket support, and this rifle accepts a wide range of upgrades—from furniture and optics mounts to trigger groups and gas tube components. Owners frequently build out their rifles with modern rails, adjustable stocks, and precision optics while keeping the original cost entry point low. If you're planning to dive into the AK world or simply want a proven, economic rifle that will run reliably for years, the GP WASR-10 is a solid choice.
