No one uses an AK in 3 gun regularly other than for fun, or just to get some practice with it.
I have run my M85, with a Holosun red dot. It was fun to get to use a gun I don't run much.
If that's what you have, bring it run it and enjoy.

Thought about it, or at least the novelty of it. Run an AK, a Tokarev, and an IZH-81 Baikal.

Ran my ak in a couple of practical rifle matches. It was fun. I didn't finish last, didn't win either.

He would be the guy to ask, for sure. Emerald Valley Armory is where he works might be worth a call.

I've run an M1 Carbine, .45 1911, and a Winchester Model 12. Any chance to shoot M1 Carb on stages is fun.

I haven't used my regular AK in a 3-Gun match yet, but once I get the trigger issues fixed I plan to. I have used my 9mm AK though, and it was fun. Only mods I might suggest for an AK in a match are a good red dot and coupled mags. I don't use coupled mags on anything else, but on an AK I feel like coupled mags make reloads a lot faster, but that's going to be personal preference.

The ARPC 3-Gun match is a great place to come have fun and try different stuff. "Long Range" is limited to 200yds so its pretty easy.

Just bring whatever you have and have fun.

If you want to run only the most AK of set ups. AKM with red dot, Saiga 12,and Mini draco.

Forget coupled magazines, this is how you load and AK...

I dont know why this surprises people...I've been using AKs at Practical Rifle matches for 20 years...

One reason to use an AK at matches is that you can currently buy ammo for 40 cents per round.

What ammo is non bi-metal?

Thanks! I had to buy a steel plate once a long time ago. Mixed ammo and a bi-metal snuck in.

Non mag amo has always been the biggest hurdle...stock up when you find it!

What specifically did you use to hit those 8" plates at 200 yards?

The irons?

granted, took a round or three

 

[Solomon Grundy]

I was wondering what rifle you were using, but now that you mention it, optics and ammo can help or hinder. Okay so you use yellow box wolf, yugo M67, Winchester or PPU; iron sights and....
