view manual- Anyway, I have read on this site and others-(linx310s-great site too btw)-that the last two digits in the serial # of a WASR-10 represents the year it was made. Well, I picked up a 'NEW' WASR-10 at my little, old local shop last Saturday and the serial number on the gun AND paperwork is AK-3995-81.(EIGHTY-one).
- The wasr's with triangles are 10/63's, which havent been imported since 2013 I believe. You have a wasr 10 which is an all new production gun. Cugir upped their quality control with the wasr 10's and they're generally nicer rifles. Yes, the '18' at the end of the serial number indicates it was manufactured in 2018.
- The wasr 10/63 is a better quality wasr. 'Revised front trunnion to 'current' milspec. Like the SAR was. The WaSR front trunnion is specific for the single stack and isn't as 'strong' (the '63' gives more support to the bolt carrier), but they aren't full auto either-thats when it counts.
Serial numbers: Romanian rifles all have a serial number of some sort on them right after the trunion markings described above. Starting from 1963, they read starting with a year of production, a space, a two letter prefix, space, and then a four digit number. Lots of new AK owners consider the WASR rifle as their first AK pattern gun but hear horror stories on the internet and in gun shops about these rifles.

view manualHistory and description
According to Century Arms, an American company which imports and modifies the WASR, they are semi-automatic only, single stack variants generally based on the Romanian Model 63, Pistol Mitralieră model 1963/1965 (PM md. 63), and GP 75 AKM rifles Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy (AKM) series of Kalashnikov rifles originally manufactured in Russia. Century decided to import the WASR to meet U.S. demand for AK-style firearms. U.S. federal code 18 USC 922R stipulates that no more than ten major components of a firearm categorized by federal law as a 'semi-automatic assault weapon' could be manufactured outside the U.S.[2] The WASR-series rifles take their name from the 1996 Wassenaar Arrangement,[citation needed] a multilateral export control regime (MECR), the purpose of which is to monitor and limit the proliferation of certain conventional weapons and dual-use technologies.
The WASR-series rifles use a Romanian-made receiver, but lack the dimples to strengthen receiver above the magazine well seen in the other AK series of rifles. Instead WASRs use internally welded spacer plates to center the magazine. The arrangements of the rivets on the receiver and front and rear trunnions are also different from many other AK derivatives. There are no known clones of the WASR series rifles to date. The lack of dimple and rivet layout allows for positive ID in the many different stock configurations.[2][1]
The WASR-10 was used to kill 22 people in the 2019 El Paso shooting, and the Gilroy Garlic festival 9 days earlier Gilroy_Garlic_Festival_shooting .[3]
