Anyone have experience specifically with the WASR 10/63 (Note 63) HI-CAP double stack? I know it's post ban, from old "1972" surplus and NIB. There is an arrow on the trunnion which is supposed so signify a mil-spec build? Any ideas on market price right now for a RI-1188N model? Thanks

It really depends on the particular weapon. All WASR-10s are not made equal. The postbans are a little tricky, Century was in no way surgical about the conversions.... the magazine may have a wobble to it, and the front sight may have a slight cant. Otherwise the /63 is a hit or miss and some may be better, some may be worse... The difference is that the old ones were made with rejected parts (safe for semi only) .. the new ones have demilled parts... like yours with the triangle/arrow (better overall). Check for matching numbers. Decent furniture, matching numbers, and the triangle on the trunion will usually put the value in the $500+ range, where the older WASRs will be -$400.

Many people have no idea what they're actually buying anyways, so someone could very well get a POS for $600.

I have a /63, traded it for some Johnnie Walker Blue Label... sanded/refurbished/stained the wood, fixed the sheppard's hook, tightened the mag well, fixed the trigger slap... it is suprisingly accurate and an overall fun weapon to shoot.

It is a CAI product converted from single-stack, with the internals replaced. If you are going to gamble on a WASR, then 10/63 is a good bet... but with AKs, and especially CAI builds, you never quite know what you are buying until you get it to the range.
