Range Report:

Finally got my UTG (Under The Gun) 4-12X44 Mil Dot scope dialed in this last weekend.......luckely I had with me 40 rounds of FMJ all brass bullets to get the job done since the range directors confiscated all my Russian steel rounds not allowed to be used there.

Here is the final 5 shots.....the target is 6 inches in diameter at the zeroing range of 100 meters.

Yes it shoots the good old 7.62X39.....after about 400 meters it drops like a rock but what a sweet round.

Eddo, all I gotta say is that you have some sweet guns. Jealous...
I've always wanted to shoot from an AK variant. I've only ever shot .223s out of a rifle. Does the it take the 7.62x39 round or the modern variant?

Re: Post your Favorite Guns!

Decided to do an accuracy check on the Iron sights of my AKS after Zeroing it a while back just to see if it will pass that Russian test. It took me a while to find the proper procedure used by Russian military (in English) checking accuracy of their AK-47.
Some AK owners may not know but AK sights are designed to be used differently that 90 percent of firearms out there. The main difference is that in normal rifle sights your aim point is suppose to be your impact point, you shoot wht you aim at. On AK sights tht is not true, your aim point is bellow the target but inside the bullhorns, this way your front sight does not obscure the target.



The procedure from the service manual calls for specific sized target (a rectangle 35X25 cm) setup at 100 meters. You take 3 or 4 carefully made shots aiming at the center of thelower line of the rectangle (called aim pt) with the rear sight set to number 3. You mark what is called an "control pt" 28cm above the aim pt (my blue tape). After averaging your shots (calculations) per the manual you come up with a CP "center of impact" which you mark on the paper. your shots must group within 15cm circle and your calculated center of impact (CI) must be no further than 5 cm from the control pt.
The big black dots are my 4 shots.....I am very happy with my results of my rifle and I had a dirrect crosswind of about 5 gusting 10 knots.

Just recently added a mil-dot compact scope and foldable bipod. Had a hard time Zeroing the scope yesterday (mega adjustments) at the range but I think by the end of the day I had 6 MOA at 100 meters. I tried to reset the knobs to Zero marks but I think I moved the Windage by accident. Back to square one, need to start over.

Re: Post your Favorite Guns!

Fair enough where do you practice your guns, at a range, hunting?

There are many outdoor and indoor ranges around here, plus there is always the desert but its a little drive.

I don't hunt anymore, but I will if there is no food for some extreme reason.....quales,rabbits and sometimes deer are in the mountain area I live in and I got a good hunting dog. You just be competing with the Cayotes and Bobcats.

Re: Post your Favorite Guns!

I am not sure, I think there are few things that are missing before I am ready....




But seriously Mos I could be of better service to Artsakh in or around military jets or choppers with my experience than hauling ammo uphill with the mileage I already got on my body.....and salvage tittle declared by my orthopedic sport doctors

Re: Post your Favorite Guns!

You are right, I returned the junk and took your advise.

AKS762:

Put 120 rounds through it at the range no jams...zeroed out (little on windage some on elevation) at 25 meter in no time and it was nailing double taps on steel targets (size about a foot in Dia) at 100 yard, and I am not a good shot. Haven't tried the red/green dot sights but I don't think I will like it. I trust iron sight and those things just weighs your weapon down and puts it out of CG.

Ignore the stupid 'bullet button' on the trigger guard......thats california for you. Good think is it comes off if you wanted to.

You're ready to go to Karabakh brother!

Re: Post your Favorite Guns!

Congrats.
It has some modifications done in the USA. AFAIK all the Saiga's shipped to the US are with a sporter stock (no pistol grip).
Did you buy it new or used?

This one is the sporter Version 03. Once it arrives in US it must become 922r compliant which means at least 8 parts have to be changed. I know the trigger and the muzzle break are stamped Tapco USA. The furniture is Russian classic red wood but it wasn't ship to US with that wood, that was done here. The checkering on the pistol grip is done here, etc

Now for California sell they put that ugly Mag lock (bullet button) on it and ship it with a tapco 10 round Magazine. I bought the rifle new and it has its certification stamps from Russian factory Izmash. This is one sweet AKS brother. The receiver is a work of art, the barrel and the bolt is chrome plated and every effort is made to maintain its AK classic look.
