Well, after some reading and Campybob's continued praise-singing, I have almost decided to get an AK variant in 5.45X39. I've held back because I have several 7.62 AK's/mags/drums/etc and wanted to avoid any confusion. You know like bringing the wrong mags/ammo etc when going to the range. I also like the fact that everything shoots the same ammo and can use the same accessories - a sort of standardization for my own little arsenal!
But now that I'm going to get one (which will undoubtably lead to getting 2 and ...), Which one do I get?
I've had an SAR1. Accuracy was not impressive. I gave it a kvar make over, put a 74 style muzzle brake on, fixed the trigger and refinished it but parkerizing and KG gun coat. By the time I was done. I had invested alot of time and $$ for a rifle that looked as good as any out there but was a sheep in wolf's clothing. My SAM7 was about $50 more and it way out shoots the SAR1 and I didnt have to do squat to get it that way. Buy - clean - shoot.
Does someone out there make a 74 along the same lines as the sam7 in quality? Yes, I know I can go with a builder, but I was just wondering what else is out there.
Also, those of you with Inrange/ohio 74's what kind of accuracy are you getting?
Thanks,
Jim
