The WUM models are
post-ban sporterized versions of the AK-74 & AK-47 assault
rifles. They come complete with cleaning kit,
side rail scope mount, 5 round magazine, thumbhole stock, and
manual. The first version is the WUM-1 which is the 7.62x39
version or better known as the AK-47. The WUM-2 is the
rare 5.45 version or AK-74 copy. While magazines are in
abundance for the WUM-1 the WUM-2 only offers 30 round mags and
drums were never imported in to the country. The WUM-1
will accept all standard AK-47 mags. Some WUM's were
even imported with threaded barrels and a nut welded over the
threads. Other newer imports have an AK-74 muzzle brake on
them. There has been some controversy over the quality of
these guns. Our experience with the quality of these guns
seems to be variable. It seems that most of the earlier
imports were of better quality. This could
partially be because there are two or three factories putting
the rifles together: Cugir, Romtechnika, and possibly Sule. We
have herd stories of offset barrels, used guns being sold as
new, corroded barrels, weird messages being stamped on the
receiver and even circular cut-outs in the receiver. If
you do plan to purchase one of these rifles make sure you look
it over real well and get a good return policy.
Overall, any of these rifles are fairly well made, we are not
saying that they are all bad just be cautious of what you are
buying. If you have any information about circular cut-out
please send it to webmaster@ak-47.net
