Just walked out of the local fun shop where this was on consignment. I had been wanting a do-it-all hunting rifle and this fit the bill. Remington 700 with Magpul hunter stock and a Vortex Viper 4-16x44. Plus a sweet branded carrying case. Total cost $866 out the door with tax. For that price if the rifle doesn't shoot I'll toss it, get a new one, stick in the stock and and still not be out much money.
Apologies for the crappy cell pic.
A guy at work was dumping a bunch of stuff and he sold me this WASR 10/63 for $425, came with a bunch of mags (mostly crapco but I'm not complaining) and about 400 rounds of ammo.

The NF ATACR 4-16x42 F1 is an outstanding compact optic, and I hardly notice the TBAC Ultra 5 suppressor.

I have a rifle too. It's heavier than what's cool right now, but it gets shot quite a bit and I like it.
Some observations:
I'd say it's about a 2 or 2.5 MOA gun. Best groups are with magtech mk262ish stuff; worst are most any m193 load; green tip shoots alright.
I've settled on a blue sprinco buffer spring and an h buffer. I tried an h2 buffer and it would run fine with green tip and heavy 75 and 77 grain bullets, but 55 grain 5.56 would cause all kinds of malfunctions due to short stroking. With the h buffer and sprinco spring, it's totally reliable with every load that I've tried.
The BCM pnt trigger is pretty nice, but I've only ever shot what the army gave me. So I can't compare it to a geissele or a larue.
Went to the local range yesterday to see what my zero was with some of the dirt cheap Hornady 140 HPBT ammo, and ran a “dot drill” for the first time. These dots are 1/2” or so. I didn’t measure with a micrometer, just a regular ruler. By my math, the average was about .44 MOA.
This is definitely a more worthwhile exercise than shooting for groups at 100 yards. It forces you to focus on the fundamentals for each and every shot, and really exposes your weaknesses. I am really looking forward to trying this from prone, shooting off a bench is a real struggle for me.
