How accurate are worn out AKs Check this out... http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/vie...?f=122&t=31796 I think AKs do have a place in one's survival battery... They are especially handy for women and children--milder recoil and shorter stock--or didn't you think about arming them as well?

Re: How accurate are worn out AKs Not many people in the West understand the first thing about AK's. Everything they know comes from the teevee or gun writers who got it from the teevee. They are very capable weapons firing a very capable intermediate cartridge that takes a great number of deer, boar and other such game animals every year on every continent. You can get an AK in pretty much any caliber from .22lr to .30-06 to 12 gauge. 7.62x39 is the classic. If you don't need the extra range of a fullhouse .30cal then the lesser weight, bulk, cost and recoil of the 7.62x39 offers some real advantages while still providing much more penetration against barriers and wounding power than is found with the 5.56 or 5.45. Milder recoil isn't just for women and children, they are more controlable in rapid fire than heavier rounds. The AK has a good action. As always choose the right caliber for the job you need it to do.

Re: How accurate are worn out AKs I came across an interesting thread relating to AK accuracy and hunting. Like most it ends with a successful, clean kill. Quote:
My cousin yesterday morning killed a 7 point buck with his AK using 124gr Wolf HP's. I thought I'd share the story with the community. The interesting thing is it was shot in the head!! I was not there when it was killed, but I inspected the damage yesterday afternoon, and I can tell you it was graphic. The deer is very small, maybe a year or two old, but has a nice rack, it was shot from about 100yds out, and was laying in brush at the time, with only it's head sticking out, hense the head shot. The bullet entered behind the left eye, and made a realitivly small hole, in the skull, then it apears the bullet exploded, and exited in the right rear of the skull blowing about a 2 1/2" inch hole out of the skullhttp://ak47.net/images/smilies/icon_smile_shock.gif The deer was dead immediatly I figure, as the bullet made mush of the brain, and the skull was fractured all over. It fact you could move the rack of antlers around all over on the head. sad thing is he had to wait about 10min for it to stop twitching.http://ak47.net/images/smilies/icon_...issapprove.gif It seems the wolf hollow points more or less explode than expand. I probably would have not made a head shot IMO, but the deer did not suffer, and that is the main thing.http://ak47.net/images/smilies/icon_smile_approve.gif Didn't have a camera with me, but trust me you wouldn't wanted to have seen ithttp://ak47.net/images/smilies/icon_...issapprove.gif
http://ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=54&t=101416 The bullet used was Ulyanovsk's wonderful 124gr 8m3 hollow point. It yields pretty much the max wounding effect possible for this cartridge against a soft target, in this case a deer. If you were hunting something larger you'd probably want something that will reach in deeper to hit vitals like the 154gr soft point that trades velocity for mass while retaining energy and therefore will carry through deeply. The 125gr SP's work fine on deer and pig sized game though. They also have a fragmentation effect but it is not quite as quick or complete as the 8m3 and therefore reaches deeper.

Re: How accurate are worn out AKs Silver City those are scarey offhand 100 yard groups from any weapon. I wouldn't want to be out in front of that DUDE, as he is going to head shoot you.

Re: How accurate are worn out AKs What! You mean you can wear out and AK? Hell one of my Aks has had in excess of 10,000 rounds put down the barrel, it has never been cleaned and it still holds a 4" circle at 100yards, Plenty accurate for the job it was designed to do!
