I have one that is great fun to shoot......but not accurate...even with trigger improvements.Can't go wrong with a Yugoslavian SKS. Cheap, and you can get stripper clips off ebay and do some fitting. Plus with a dummy grenade and blanks you can have a lot of fun.

Odd, mine was pretty accurate with decent ammo. Was yours an unissued one?I have one that is great fun to shoot......but not accurate...even with trigger improvements.
Yes......it depends on your definition of accurate. It is the best of my Kalesnikoff designed rifles, just not anything I would call accurate. Both my SCAR 17s and M24 shoot consistent sub 1/4 min groups. 3 30 cal bullets into .5 inches at 100 yards.Odd, mine was pretty accurate with decent ammo. Was yours an unissued one?
I see. For what it is, the Yugo SKS is pretty accurate. Only sub MOA rifles I've had were the ARs I had, but these days as long as it isn't bigger than 3 MOA its GTG as far as I'm concerned.Yes......it depends on your definition of accurate.

That is what I mean about definition......battlefield accuracy is as someone earlier said......minute of a can...... my Colt AR's shoot quarter size groups or better at 100 yards but require maintenance in the field to operate reliably unlike the AK's.I see.

I am interested in your AR 7.62 build.....I just bought a new lower that needs a top end. Have been considering a Colt 7.62X39 carbine. Should be accurate?I guess it all depends what you want it for. If a Semi auto in a shtf weapon with utter reliability is the aim, then an arsenal ak would be the one I would go with. If a general purpose plinking/hunting rifle that shoots cheap Steel cased ammo is the aim then an AR upper will work fine if you spec it correctly. Here is a link to my AR upper build which has turned out to be quite reliable and very accurate. 7.62x39 AR build
I have about 600rds down range now and other than mag brand related issues I had in the first 100 rds, I have not had a single malf since.

The Polak might be the best buy in an AK right now.Take a long time to polish all those!!!
I have owned them all (many times over) and all have a place. But my happy place is a POF piston upper in the commie caliber. It shoots Tula SP 1.25" and sub-minute US ammo. I love it. Never missed a beat in hundreds of rounds. AR 7.62 mags are reliable these days. I use it on Blacktail and pigs in HI. There is a real satisfying feeling when 123 grains goes off in an AR. My buddy coveted mine and we just found out they are discontinued at POF (they say did not sell) but he found one on the net around $800. I paid $1039.I am interested in your AR 7.62 build.....I just bought a new lower that needs a top end. Have been considering a Colt 7.62X39 carbine. Should be accurate?
