Ak-74

[MagnumCaliber357]

Has anyone shot an ak-74? Im becoming to wonder what the accuracy is like on one of thoes things. Ive shot my friends AK-47 and the rainbow tragectory of the 7.62 doesnt cut it for me. What MOA can i expect?

If you are talking about the 5.45X39 round, it is very accurate, at least it was in my Ronaian.

It is a very zippy little carbine, but I sold our for a 7.62X51...the power to erach out and touch someone!

i have norinco ak-74
and grouped 2 inches at 150yds last time out with wolf ammo
i also have a simmons 3-10 scope on it with a b-square mount

i can hit a golf ball at a 100yds with it

I have a Romanian CUR II Mil-spec with a PSO 4 x 16 scope on it chambered in 5.45 that has been shooting 2- 3 inch groups.

I've only been shotting it these last few weeks since my health has gotten better so it is only going to bet better accuracy wise - I would recommend you run to your local store and buy a 74 chambered in 5.45. Run, don't walk.

The 5.45 is some wicked. Quick second shot, aimed or double tap. Shoots flat enough to hit more reliably at unknown and miss-guessed ranges. Old style tapered case for better extraction from hot/dirty/rusty chambers. I'm in love (but I stay true to my SAR 1).

Yea. It's slightly more accurate than the 7.62x39, but I don't care for the caliber. MOA depends entirely on what kind of rifle you buy.

As for accuracy with an AK47, with a Sako AK varient, I can fire on full auto and hit a coffee can at 50m 30 out of 30. Good enough for me.

I have one and a 5.45 Krink too. I can hit a 20 lb. propane tank at 200 yards 7 out of 10 times.

"I can fire on full auto and hit a coffee can at 50m 30 out of 30. Good enough for me."

Are you saying that you can fire 30 rounds full auto and hit a coffee can with all 30 rounds at 50m?

That I would have to see.

To all you AK-74 enthusiasts, what would be a good buy for an AK-74. Im not looking to spend much more that $400.

Is this enough for a decent one. I dont need it to be new and pretty either. If someone can point me in the direction of one, i'd be much appreciated.

Yep. Not much left of the can afterwards.

I cheated, tho. I used the best quality AK47 varient in the world (Sako Rt-95, or Model 95 depending on which Finn you ask), and I used bursts firing on full auto. If I just dumped the mag, I doubt I could do so at 50m. 25m, maybe. As my drill instructor said, "If yer not cheating, yer not trying hard enough."

Edit : Also, it was the full sized coffee can, not a tiny dinky one the size of a soda can. I doubt you could find one of those tiny cans on any self-respecting post anyways.

Century Arms SAR-1 would do the trick.

Akron Armory has some bulgy 74 kits left for $200 shipped. Add a $60 receiver, $50 in US parts, and go to town.
