Opinion - The WASR 10 was a very good option for a "beginner" AK for many years. With today's pricing schemes they're pretty lackluster. The fit and finish of WASRs is their most notorious trademark feature. Some guns have frustrating issues with furniture fitment, canted iron sights and can be magazine picky. However, a WASR that can cycle a magazine without hiccups will run forever. These guns have been proven out time and time again at full auto ranges anywhere between 50 to 60 thousands rounds before critical failure.

Opinion - The M10 is almost a WASR with a new barrel setup. The fit and finish of the M10 (and RH-10) is on par with WASRs. Some guns have frustrating issues with furniture fitment, canted iron sights and can be magazine picky. However, being so related to a WASR, a good M10 (RH-10) will likely last many tens of thousands of rounds.

These are nice in that there is a plethora of accessories available for them, being that they are AKM pattern. The furniture that ships with this is so bad it may crack during your first range trip. Replacing it is a very good idea. Mag fit may be wobbly but once you find a magazine that works well with the gun it will go and go and go.

These are nice have many accessories available for them, being that they are mostly AKM pattern. The M10 sold by Lee Armory has some decent features that they ship with, but you can find all sorts of setups, including bare bone rifles with no furniture. They tend to ship with a flash hider instead of the sugar scoop "slant brake" seen on many AKM pattern guns in the US. THESE RIFLES CANNOT SUPPORT A BAYONET.
  
 
Find a decent deal, look it over, then buy one.

There are 2 other noteworthy models of WASR rifles: 1.) WASR Underfolder 2.) WASR 10/63 3.) AES-10

The other noteworthy model from Cugir is the RH-10. This is very nearly the exact same gun, the only thing different is the name and that the RH-10 comes through CAI instead of M+M. The RH-10 also comes with terrible WASR wood furniture instead of US Polymer.

The WASR underfolder is a GP WASR 10 with an underfolding trunnion and stock. They are the same as the above rifle, but have to take AKMS stock accessories. The WASR 10/63 is an amalgamation of PM Md.63 military rifle parts merged in with some commercial parts. These tend to have good surplus furniture, marginally better finish, but their fit may possibly be worse. The AES-10 is a WASR with a long barrel, it is nothing like an RPK.
