As the title says, I just bought my first AK. (Thanks Whitey, great transaction!)
It is a one year old WASR. Great shape. Came with three 30 round mags.
I know they are a different animal than the typical AR quality-wise, but I am surprised at how much play there is with a seated magazine. There is a healthy amount of wobble/side to side play. Unlike an AR where the mags move almost not at all when seated. Same with my M1A: When the mag is in, its IN.
I have only shot one AK before, briefly. (Cross-X's that was used as part of an IDPA stage. Great stage!). So my experience with them is effectively zero. any general advice on care and feeding or what to expect would also be appreciated, but the wobbly mag thing has my attention.
As always, thanks in advance.
