I always hear that AKs are so innaccurate.
I'm wondering if this is just a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Lots of AK owners think AKs are innaccurate so they don't give it a proper break-in, they don't modify the trigger, they don't get better sights, they use the cheapest ammo available, and they don't maintain it as well as they would another rifle. So when they go and shoot it, yes, their AK is very innaccurate.
Let's say you took an off-the-rack Yugoslavian AK in 7.62x39mm. You give it a good break-in, you use handloads, you solidly mount a 10 power scope, and you maintain it, what kind of accuracy in MOA can you expect?
