For the TL:DR crowd- what is the most accurate you have seen from 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 ammo?  What gun was that with?

This thread got locked before I could post the question there.  The OP of that thread claimed 1.5 MOA accuracy from an Arsenal with hand loads.  I have a WASR and Sino-Soviet SKS but they are nothing more than range toys and I have never shot them for groups.  The SKS has been more accurate than the WASR, however.  I have read good things about 7.62 out of a CZ 527 (sub-MOA claimed by an ARFCOMer).  

I have a 5.45 AR (Ballistic Advantage complete upper) that I was getting ~2.25 MOA (5 shot) with 7n6 and a Aimpoint Micro before I stopped shooting it.  

I didn't see any 5.45 or 762x39 entries in the 1 MOA All Day challenge.  I did see a 7.62x54R entry
69. Mwieczorek, 1943 Izhevsk M91/30 PU sniper rifle, Handloaded ammo, Groups: 1.79, 1.50, 1.86, 2.22, 1.78 = Average of 1.83 MOA

So, what is the best accuracy you have seen personally from 7.62x39 or 5.45x39?  What were the circumstances (gun, glass, ammo, how many round group, etc...)?

no problem....that's the best shooting x39mm rifle I've ever had any personal experience with, using 'factory' ammo......including several custom barrels for CZ 527s....
