There was a Mak used in the ammo test (stuck in that forum). Compare gun/ammo/groups and see how close you are before chosing other expenses.

chinese kalashnikovs can be very good (some of the polytechs group well for me...<4") and they can be scatterguns (4" to 6" seems to be typical) that can be difficult to squeeze a 6" group out of.
my opinion is that the bbl's really vary in size and throat. how well can you shoot your other rifles? |

I think of it as a up close blaster, the sites aren't really that great or I am not that great of a shot with it or somewhere in between. No, you're quite right. I love my SAR, it's my little range bitch, but the sights on AKs are just about the worst sights I've ever seen. They're low, seperated, and disconnected from the shooter - very poorly designed. Also, accuracy is hit-or-miss (sometimes literally). I've hit things with my SAR that I don't think I could do with an AR-15... and I've also missed things with my AK that I think I could've hit with a Liberator pistol. Ammo is very inconsistent - sometimes you get that good batch of ammo that just lets you get 1" groups at 100 yards... Then you get noise-makers. It's just how it is. How can you do it without spending alot of cash? Step 1: Buy Barnaul or Silver Bear. Step 2: Get Red Star Arm's AK trigger. Step 3: Think of a buying a replacement rear leaf sight. There are ghost ring sights available for, like, $35 or less. THAT will help you tremendously. It did me. |

I installed a G2 tapco trigger and noticed I shot better. Next time I shoot I will use silver bear and I will have a red-dot. See if I can do any better.
May build a ar15 piece by piece. Well all two pieces....that will be the accurate rifle

Ballpark is 2moa on the M16 equals 4moa on the AK47, mileage varies...
No sling pressure, gentle trigger pull not to the side (my usual error), try other ammo, report on groups. We'll type more. |

It's weird because I shoot better with my Mak than my AR-15 A2 with just wolf at least off hand I do but then again I shoot it more. Silver bear seems to be pretty accurate and I like those effect points they have.
