"you can hit a pie plate at 100 yards every time with a bad AK, and you can hit a coke can at that distance with a good AK."

I agree. I've owned an AK-47 for 25 years and I can hit water filled milk jugs at 150 meters all day long. Now if my Ruger Mini-30 could only do that.

At one point I didn't bother to clean my AK for five years. I never got a hiccup. Mine also has a very light trigger pull. However, I do think that getting an accurate AK-47 with a decent trigger is sometimes just a matter of luck. I've seen a lot of scope mounts advertised for AK-47s and I've always wondered if they really work at all. I'm more of an iron sight guy myself. The AK-47 is a great fun gun... inexpensive, cheap ammo, simple to operate, and lots of after market toys to "accessorize "with.

I put a Williams peep sight on my milled Bulgarian AK and it made a world of difference in accuracy.
