WASR 22 (Rimfire AK)

I have a couple, top is WASR 22 and bottom is AKT-98. Both are Romy/Cugir but the AKT was the first, introduced back in 04 (IIRC).

 

My first AKT -98 was returned to retailer due to all the problems you listed. I received the one in the picture as a replacement and have not had trouble with extracting although some of the spent casings do end up in the gas tube and receiver cavity. The WASR 22 is pretty much the same with the spent casings, but no other probs to date. I may look into opening up the top cover a bit or replacing it all together. Both are great alternatives to the higher priced ammo eaters, plus I can take them to my local range (which wont allow anything other than pistol cal.)

 

Yeah, I've got the slings but I'm not big on using them. I have a number of slings stashed away, that I have no idea what goes to what anymore. I keep the stuff for originality sake, but really have no practical use for them. I always carry my firearms in hard cases when I take them out. I think you're right about the top cover, I probably will go with a replacement vs altering the oem piece.

 

I picked up one of these a while back. It gave me lots of FTE problems. I fixed this by removing the bolt and checking the extractor claw distance to the bolt face. My extractor claw was so far from the bolt face it did not even touch the cartridge case rim. This resulted in the case being extracted then "lost" before it got back to the ejector. I hand made an extractor oversize then fit it to my bolt. It now grasps the case rim and extraction is "controlled" until ejection. I just finished this and test fired it today. It functioned flawlessly with over 70 rounds fired. I made the extractor with a dremel and files. I used cold rolled steel from the local hardware store and hardened it after forming.

 

Hey i took my WASR 22 to a hand gun range and shot like 300 rounds through it. I got a AK 47 top cover, tightened the ejector spring screw and milled part of the breach to fix the feeding and ejecting problems. then at the very end a messed up shell made the ejector claw fly out and i could not find it. can you show send me a picture of your orininal ejector claw. Any response would be greatly appreciated

 

I was gonna buy one until I read what you guys have been through! More trouble than they're worth!

Need help

Was having problems with my extractor at the range until the extractor dissapeared. Can you help me locate a new one or do you have any photos to show me how to make one?

 

Sorry it took so long on this. Attached is the work drawing I made when I repaired mine. I did not take any pictures while making the extractor and I no longer own the rifle. I hope this points you in the right direction.
