AK Addiction

[The_Shootist]

Ran 500 rounds through my new WASR 10 this morning at the range. Man that was fun! Now I want more I guess I'll have to quit smoking, drinking...hell maybe EATING to fund it! I figure I can get another case from a local gunship this week for about $ 140, but that I'll check on Tuesday.

The AK was REALLY slick to shoot. 500 rounds with no discomfort....recoil really is negligible. Had only ONE FTE, and that was on a Bulgy mag that I proably didn't get all the cosmo out of and then no probs thereafter.

The rifle I figured was as accurate as I could be, I thought it grouped well, although didn't do any shooting over 75 yds and mainly 25-50 (this was a plinking - get to know the rifle session, not practicing for a match).

I can see how these things can get so addictive! But I can also see how they became the most widely used assault weapon the world over. Easy to shoot, reliable and reasonably accurate. What more could a man want (except for some $ 60/case ammo).

I'm almost glad I didn't have more ammo or I would have spent all DAY at the range!

As it was I also put 250 rounds thru my Mak, just so I could go home with a clean conscience, having done some serious CCW related shooting

Buying guns is cheap, feeding them is what gets expensive.

Glad you like your AK.

Running out of ammo sucks. It is amazing how fast ammo evaporates. I have a Russian PK-AS-V red dot on my WASR that I just sighted in this weekend. As soon as I got it even close I did some offhand 50 and 100 yard snap shooting on a human silhoette target and kept pretty much all of them in the triangle-just both eyes open, 2 to 4 rounds at a time. Man that's fun. Ran through 3 mags so fast it was scary. All dry right now...it's depressing.

I agree though. Kalashnikovs rock hard core. I know at least two Arsenal Incs and a converted Saiga have to be in my future if I can find the money before our beloved friends in Washington pass another AWB.
