Yeah, rifle was made from a matching number, like new kit.
Every AK Ive ever owned was capable of above average to excellent accuracy- even more remarkable considering their short sight radii.
If it werent for the oft-repeated internet mantra that they are inherently inaccurate, I would never have known the truth! Lol.
Yeah the M2 on an Ultimak mount is only way I know to get a rugged RD sight down to use with factory stocks- still . Unless you go top cover or your rifle has a side mount you can get close .
Loose trunion rivets?Three of mine are blessed with decent accuracy, my romanian 5.45 on the other hand is a different story. Hit the notebook sized sheet of paper or miss it at a hundred yards. You can't take credit for hitting it, nor would I blame you for missing it. The thing shoots about 8in groups, with or without optics and a lot of ammo has been tried over the years. And the 7n6 ammo I have shoots great in an AR I have. In the romy, it shoots like everything else. So until I spend the time to discover why it is so inaccurate, its role in life is entertaining new shooters with clay pigeons on the 25yd line. They love it. Had a few new shooters complain the AR "had too many buttons", but they all loved the little AK.
Still, even with its slightly canted front sight, it shoots like this from a cross legged sitting position at 200 yards just banging away.
Some Norincos came with cleaning rods. Pretty sure my Maadi had one too. You aint missin much, though. They rattle, and, being steel, can do more harm than good if overused on the chrome bores.View attachment 977181

I bought that one for 400 or so 20 years ago Came with over 2k rounds of 5.45 (sportsman choice and wolf. Looks about the same) and 10 or so of those mags. And 1 10 rd mag. I know nothing about it. Shoots good.
I figure it's a junk gun. The name and numbers look to be dremeled on by a 4 year old.
I do have a question. Why do almost all AK, Even American built ones, not come with the cleaning rod. I used to assume it was the parts compliance BS. But ive seen American ones say the same thing.
