[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Barrel rifling on Yugo AKs and accuracy (ETA Manufacture date Q)

Posted: 3/31/2006 9:00:24 AM EDT

I finally swabbed the hell out of my UF kit bore and the chamber actually appears to be chromed, however the rifling does NOT have sharp, defined edges on the lands. The muzzle rifling seems a bit pitted from the Yugo ammo (GD GD GD GD). How is this going to affect my rifles ability to shoot?

Also, does anyone out there have a source for new Yugo barrels or ones that might work?

Sorry no chrome lined barrels on yugos. CFS had new barrels a couple of weeks ago. Also it should still shoot fine.

My barrel was pretty bad, but she shoots better than any of my shiney barrel Rommies

freefalle7 What ammo are you using. I have tiger and some cheeta. My Yugo seems to do better with the cheeta but my Polish UF likes the tiger.

Take the brake off the end and reverse a round into the muzzle. As long as the bullet stops before entering the muzzle all the way accuracy will likely be OK. However if you have serious erosion, like the bullet doesn't stop till you reach the casing neck, then she likely will widen up considerably after 25 yards.
