So I decided to do my own version of those YouTube sand tests with my WASR a while back and to my surprise I didn’t have a single malfunction through 4 mags even with a good amount of shit that fell into the receiver. I thought for sure there’d be at least one or two failures to feed or extract based on the videos I watched but not a single one. I thought the trigger had locked-up at one point but it was just stiff for that single pull (and a couple others) but still fired.
What did my gun do differently?
