If you want the bolt to hold open, you need bolt hold open followers in your magazines..

Actually you don't. I fell for the "Special Hold open Yugo Mags" and later realized that the only difference between those and a regular mag is this. Grab a regular mag, remove the floorplate, spring and follower. Look inside the mag near the lips and you will see 2 little bumps, get your dremmel tool and grind down the two little bumps. Re-assemble and voila! You have a Hold Open mag. Good News: The bolt is now held by the follower after the last shot. Bad News: It does not hold the bolt back enough to allow proper feeding of the new mag and the bolt will jump forward the second you remove the mag.
IMHO unless you are required to keep your rifle without a round in the chamber (with or without mag) this way of keeping the bolt open is not productive and will actually slow you down during a mag change.
I think I recall some guy in the internet selling a kit that would do the job right, but I can't find the link

my AK is a wasr-10 also, and it does have trigger slap
I don't worry about the slide locking back after last round but thats just me
I need to figure out the best way to get rid of the trigger slap and get the red dot scope I want and it will be "completed"
