I have never in my life seen an AK do 2” 100 yard groups with steel case commie ammo, and I’ve seen a few AKs.
I don’t buy it. 4 to 6 inches is far more the norm, with 3.5 being exceptional for an AK (usually means it has a quality barrel).
My SKS is about 3.5 to 4.5 MOA.
My ‘06 is for long range accurate shooting.
My AR is a good 200yd gun.
The AK is for short range combat (and very good at it).
Untrue. If the trunnion of the rifle is pressed in straight and the barrel is pressed in with sufficient precision, typically through the use of laser levels, AKs are capable of the same level of accuracy as an AR. The plant that builds a particular rifle has everything to do with it. If your barrel is pressed into the trunnion with .0002” of runoff, for example, you’ll be looking at about 1.5”-1.75” groups at 100 all day. I build them. People buy cheap junk CE they arms and thing that quality applies to the entire AK family. I use AKs chambered in 7.62x39 almost exclusively and it’s minute of chest all day long at 350 if the builder goes the extra mile. Rifle dynamics has a model that will do 7” groups at 650 yards, which I refused to believe until I saw it myself. It’s all about building the rifle part by part on a 1:1 ratio. Anything less will result in subpat accuracy.
