Paulry 50 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Great story! Loved it. Now that gets the juices flowing! Interesting that the pulled 5.56 bullets using stock powder loads were not so good. Hell, I've seen posts groups almost as good from Aksarben using the .223!

JK-47 33 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think a shorter gas system might help accurize the AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) I think a shorter gas system might help accurize the AK. Perhaps. However, a shorter gas system would likely detract from the AK's legendary reliability. Regardless, the AK as-designed does the job it was built to do very, very well. This article is an excellent read, though. Edited January 16, 2010 by post-apocalyptic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apache 4 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Stories like this really make me wish I had a machine shop at my disposal, but then again if I did I'd probably never leave it, LOL. A few years ago a guy heavy barreled a SA M-5 and was getting great accuracy with it ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigsal 757 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Its interesting that this guy is attempting to accurize his 74. I had the same issues last week when It hit me: why not use rendered fat to improve performance? After several hours in the shed, I rubbed my 74 in bacon grease and had a buddy hold a penny a mile down range. On my command he released the penny 13.648 feet in the air. Using my grease-modified rifle, I was able to not only hit the penny mid flight, but also a second penny that happened to be in the air floating behind the first. I was so happy I decided to remove the tires from my car. Here is a pic: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The biggest accuracy problem is the AMMO! A bull barrel, a gasblock with an adjustable chamber volume (to allow the bullet to exit the barrel before the action begins cycling), and GOOD AMMO --- and an AK will be a accurate rifle.
