Ive had an SAR-1 (7.62) and SAR-3 (5.56) and loved them both. The SAR-3 was a DREAM to shoot, the only rifle I regretted selling .

An SAR 3 is definitely on my list of rifles to get!

It was great firing rifle and "meter of bad guy" accurate. Even better it was cheap to feed as it gobbled up all the steel cased 5.56 I threw at it.
I had her set up as a Romanian AIM with a forward pistol grip lower HG, bakelite upper handguard, and wire folding stock. I also had a scope mount with a cheapo red-dot. Very fun gun to shoot. I could easily clear a 30 round mag in 3 seconds and still have a bit of control.
When you purchase your SAR-3 just make sure the hammer is hitting the bolt square and youre good to go!

i was pretty happy with the SAR-3 also and still own one but it is not really in my regular firing line. (Sorry I'm very purist and a bit of a fan of straight eastern rifles.. 223 is a bit disturbing to my poor soul) As far as my Romanians go I like my AKT, Sar-1 and just for kicks and giggles the WSAR-10/63..
I likely shoot my WSAR-10 more than any gun in my collection aside from a few Mosin rifles which I totally adore...
Was just out at the range so thought I'd get some pics of the guns while cleaning them...In particular the Interesting Romanian AKT-98 which is a 22lr "training rifle".
The AKT-98 is made in the world famous Armamentos AK factory in Cugir Romania. (Other factory is CN Romarm which most exports are made) What it was made for and why really is a mystery but it is assumed to have been designed as a training rifle for some country wishing to lower ammo costs. Around 300 or so where imported into the US either as production over runs or as Guns not paid for by the country that contracted them. Later another series of 22lr Romanian AK's followed called the WSAR-22. These guns are NOT the same!!! Both manufacturing and base models are different. The AKT is built on the Md.86- 5.45 (or 223) receiver whereas the WSAR-22 is built on the Md.63- 7.62x39 reciever. Magazines are are also different and not interchangeable. The Magazines for the AKT where made off 20 round double stack steel 5.45 (or 223) The WSAR-22 stock is a single stack 7.62x39 10 round.
Magazines for the stock AKT-98 suck internally so I use modified East German
KK-MPi Mod.69 select fire AK training rifle Magazines. (interestingly the AKT has stamped KK-95 on it and this is presumed to be the actual model name)
Anyhow here are some pics with some comparisons to the Standard AKM (I.E. WSAR-10 /63)
I should note: The AKT despite being a 22lr is practically a short range sniper rifle this thing is extremely accurate even out to ranges a regular AK is useless. I have had 1 inch groups with the AKT out to 150 yards with iron sights and out to 200 using a PSOP 8x42 scope.

Another fun gun..
M-44 Mosin carbine refurbished and used by East Germany. This gun came from Croatia and was originally owned by a former East German Border Guard who Defected to Yugoslavia back in the early 60's.
