Armory USA/Global Trades AK-47 AMD-63 range report
Bought the AK in early 2006 and have finally zeroed it in today, had to get the correct front site drift tool and learn how to use it correctly.
General Info…
- Gun…
- Armory USA/Global Trades AK-47 AMD-63
- stamped 1.6mm receiver
- assembled in 2004
- paid $550 for it and 200 rounds on Ammo
- have it zeroed in for 50 yards, I know it should be 25 yards but range will not let me shoot a high powered rifle at 25 yards next to the hand gunners, kinda stupid I think.
- Weather: 65 degrees and sunny
- Ammo used: Wolf Military classic HP 124gr. 7.62x39
- Sights: iron sights
- Position: all shots from bench rest
- Shooter: average to below average shooter, I am near sighted but do not wear glasses
- Date: 09/03/2006
50 yard range info…
- 2 inch groups from cold barrel
- 2-3 inch groups from hot barrel
100 yard range info…
- 2 inch groups from cold barrel
- 2-4 inch groups from hot barrel
Conclusions…
- The gun shoots better than me, I am the weak link
- Even with Wolf ammo and a non milled AK, consistent COM shots are easily achievable in 100 yards.
- the iron sights can get fuzzy very fast at 50 and 100 yards after repeated focusing, which at times made it kinda hard to shot, but not too bad.
- Very happy with my purchase, no regrets.
- Wish it had a scope mount on it to see what I can do with optics.
The road ahead…
- Will post results of iron sights comparison of…
- Armory USA/Global Trades AK-47 AMD-63
- Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39 (milled receiver)
and also…
- Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39 (milled receiver) with 4x12 Leupold scope on it.
