So in other words, It's about $10 in good ammo to confirm zero after the cover has been removed.
Not ideal, but not a deal breaker I suppose.
I've never had an AK type gun but I didn't completely strip my FAL every time I shot it.
Even shooting old OHV Indian ammo didn't really require scrubbing every square inch of the gun from the breech back.
Carb cleaner and a bore snake was about all the extent of my cleaning.
Blow it out with shop air and re-lube.
Most times though I just ran a bore snake down it, re-lubed and called it good.
I really don't see the need to completely strip this gun either, unless you shoot corrosive ammo through it.
But barring that, did the action on it get fouled enough to warrant removing the cover each time?
