I am having the same problem Captain was explaining
I bought the gun a week ago: Allied Armament, AK47, model NDS-3 (Polish) Brand New. The first 30 rounds went by smooth then I started to get a jam every 3-4 rounds consistently. Huge Buzz Kill! I took it home and cleaned it well, read this forum post and did the same thing Captain did to fix his... buffered down the ejection port. I will have cash for rounds next weekend and we will see if it fixed the problem for me also.
I am getting 8-12 feet of distance for each shell ejected... if it makes it out of the chamber. I am getting a combination of double feed, casings getting stuck in the dust cover to the left of the piston... if you can believe that, Also just a lot of casings getting chopped and jammed in several different ways in side. Here are some pictures of places I thought to be important. These were taken before I did the shaving of the ejection port.
I can not weld so that is out of the question for me. But what ever I need to do to fix this I want to get done ASAP I really love this platform.

My problem was an aftermarket dust cover with a top rail. The ejection port appeared to be the same but was not. I followed suggestions from other members and enlarged the ejection port with no change. I still had jams. When I put the factory dustcover back on the problem stopped. When I placed the aftermarket dust cover on an inexpensive AK I have I couldn't believe it NO PROBLEMS it fed and ejected perfectly. My permanent solution-Leave the inexpensive factory dustcover on the Vector and leave the very expensive aftermarket dustcover on the cheap WASR 10.
All is well, both AKs function as they should. Good luck! The other members are a great resource use them, they love to help.
I might as well weigh in here with my problem too, and see what we come up with. Thanks in advance for looking.
My entire front sight is canted a bit left on the barrel (from the shooter's perspective), so the front sightpost windage must be adjusted way to the right like this (__i) to shoot straight. Not the end of the world, but irritating. I'd like to adjust the whole assembly clockwise a bit, so a re-zeroed front sightpost would look more like this (_i_).
Some folks recommend bending the whole sight piece with a mallet (of course exercizing due care to protect the weapon). But my front sight has that Yugoslav flip up tritium night sight thing, and it might not flip properly if the front sight assembly is bent.
Others say to tap out the pin(s), rotate the front sight 2 degrees, re-drill a larger pin hole and tap in a bigger one, or use set screws. I would lose an eye and 2-3 fingers trying a job like that myself, and mess up the rifle too. So I'm happy to pay a pro.
Other ideas? Resources in/near Portland?
