During the Christmas break I decided it would be a good idea to finally test and sight in the Century Yugo M70B1 that I purchased about 18 months ago. Yes, I know one should'nt wait that long but other rifles had been occupying my time.
The Rifle
The Range
The target was posted at 25 yards. I was using Wolf 123 grain full metal jacket ammunition. This is how the first three shots grouped, at five o'clock in the eight ring with the rear sight set at 100 meters.
After adjusting the sights I was able to print a group in the 1 o'clockish area of the ten ring with the rear sight set at 100 meters. Although this is not the group I was looking for (too far to the right, wind was moving the target) it is a good start.
After this I tested one of the 30 round Tapco magazines the rifle came with. With 20 rounds loaded there were no stoppages of any kind using Wolf 123 grain full metal jacket ammunition.
As has been my experience with some of these rifles the front sight had to be adjusted to the right significantly in order to achieve the proper windage.
All in all I am quite happy with this Kalashnikov.
