Well, rained out here today for bow hunting, so decided to to an impromptu AK accuracy test. The variant in question is the despised MISR, Maddi (Egyptian) receiver and a cobbled together set of Chinese parts. I've put after market stock set, trigger group and slant brake on it to make it parts count compliant.
One of the probs I have with the AK is the miserable sights. I'm at that point age wise where the short radius and slim post up front give me fits. So a couple of years ago I put on a set of E.German night sights. A plastic cap covers the front post, about 6mm in dia, and the rear blade gets a snap on leaf with a similar white dot beneath a very large U cutout. I zeroed the rifle at 25 yds easy enough, and but have not shot it any further out.
Liked it so much I shot the rifle at a simple outlaw 3 gun match the local club had, targets were large and close and we did fine. Today I put out a 16" white paper disk at a lasered 107 yds. Shot 3 rds supported off an oak tree, a pretty good example of a field expedient rest. It was raining, wind gusting 15-20 mph, old man eyes, aside from the gimmie target, a tough set of field conditions.
Was tickled to find a 6.5 " group, two pretty well centered, the third low left.
I have no doubt that off bags, or with an optic, I could halve that. Not bad for the gun culture's most despised AK
