I own a GP WASR-10/63 (Well built with matching serial numbers) and I'm looking into taking my first carbine class. Over the past few months I've learned and practiced tactical reloads, malfunction drills, and shoulder transitions (Using a VCAS sling) after reading and watching various people run AK's in carbine classes. I know I'm not the absolute master of the AK but my main concern is that my WASR will go down on me during a class and I do not own another carbine to use as a backup. I know basic/intro classes usually don't have you running your gun hard but I don't want to be that guy who shows up with a P.O.S. gun thinking it will run under actual use and ends up mooching off of someone else who was actually prepared.
In short, will my WASR work in a carbine class? I know it's an AK but I constantly hear about lower quality items going down in classes all the time and I don't want to attend one until I know my gear will (For the most part) run without issue so I can concentrate on my own skill and work rather than my gear.
