Tried a recoil buffer, can't tell any difference. Maybe I'll try a brake. I have an SVD type FH on it now. It's not painful but definitely more recoil than I would like... can't really double tap anything.
I can't imagine anyone thinking an AK is a hard recoiling gun
Have some, thxBuy an AR in 5.56 and be happy.
If you are fairly new to center fire rifles, you need to allow time to get accostomed to it. I've had 5 different AK's / SKS's, and honestly,could not tell a difference between them with regard to recoil. None are objectionable, so I suspect you just need more rounds through it. If you are shooting it off the bench, that will definitely increase felt recoil. Off-hand, you really should simply roll with it. Really good (double) ear protection will help as well; in training my kids to shoot, blast and noise definitely contribute to their perceptions of recoil.So, I've only ever shot one 47 type, which is my Vepr in 7.62x39.

has bonesteel folding stock, wood forend, flash hider/no brake. And it kicks pretty hard by my estimation of what an AK should kick.
I haven't shot them back to back but I'd rather shoot my M1A or M1 Garands than this thing, even though it's pretty heavy.
I don't know very much about AKs but my gut tells me it should be kicking this hard. I understand they're overgassed for reliability. Is that it? Or am I a little girlyman?
I also haven't been able to adjust the front sight windage far enough using the AK tool. It bottoms out. Tips?
Maybe that's why they are so reliable, accuracy comes with a price for auto loaders.AKs dont kick that hard but they are horribly unaccurate for me for some reason.
