One of my older neighbors recently decided to finally get a battle rifle, (now of all times, right?), and he picked up this WASR at a local gunshow for a decent price considering the current climate. It has no threaded barrel and the ears are shaved off of the bayonet lug, so I assumed it was a Clinton ban era rifle. I can't really find any info on these things at all for him and he's not an internet kind of guy. Every WASR I've ever owned had a threaded barrel at the very least. Does anybody know for sure what the hell he just found? And please don't tell me to tell him he has a piece of junk WASR..he's a nice old guy
