I purchased my first AK today; a Romanian WASR 10/63. I realize this is a lower quality gun, but at $440, I figure I'm not out too much money if I don't care for it.

1) Since this gun has been reworked so that it has the requisite number of U.S. parts, can I take it straight to the range and safely shoot it? Or do I need to field strip and give it a good cleaning?

2) Is there a brand of magazines (or country of origin) that seem to work better than others? I've read on another forum that U.S. made mags don't seem to work as well as imports. A couple people liked the Bulgarian polymer 30rd mags. Thoughts...?

Thanks!
