I just purchased TA01 NSN ACOG and will be putting on my Bushmaster M4 (16.1" barrel). Used M68 CCO (aimpoint red dot) in Afghanistan and was pleased, but thinking 4x is the best option for me. I'll try to post some targets when I get it mounted and compare to my iron sights at same ranges...

OP, to answer your question. Not hard at all. You don't have to be special or a high master to shoot an AR with irons out to 500 yards accurately. Marines do this everyday. Some are administrative desk clerks. Last time I took my SDMR out with M193, I shot a 7-1/2 inch group, 5 rounds with...

Understand, I had Colt M4 and plan to add one to my collection. I liked the lighter smaller carbine getting in and out of cramped vehicles and carrying lots of gear. If I could have made somebody else carry it for me lol, I'd picked the 20" full rifle. More accurate and better ergonomics...

why do manufacturers put this large gawdy commercial laser graphics on a perfectly good black rifle lol?

Under 30 generation has no problem being posers. They play dress up and use toy airsoft guns and photograph themselves wearing badges and tabs they've never earned. The under 20 generation are too lazy to even do that. They just sit in front of an XBOX or Playstation and play Battlefield and...

Arsenal AK74's have Steyr CHF barrels and very accurate. Your safest (not cheapest) bet if accuracy (i.e., 4 MOA or less) means something to you is an Arsenal. I'd buy in person as I've picked up a few at gunshops and sights are canted on some. As far as Lancaster Arms and others like them -...

I purchased my first Russian optic PKA red dot (military POS version) and couldn't be happier. For ammo accuracy testing, I've been time thinking about another Russian optic. Doing my research on these, literature says the posp is civilian versions usually black body made in former ussr...

Agree and I think also the AK74 muzzle brake makes a difference. You see these brakes on several of the 7.62 AK100 series.

SH started out bolt guns and no section IIRC on gas guns. Discussions range far and wide on firearm topics, with squeezing the most accuracy out of what ever platform you own or finding the best being a common interest. I like SH because it's mostly LE and military professionals, and I value...

Drinking so early in the day?? Seriously Graham, you have been trolling this thread since I posted. We get it that your not interested in the topic, ok? I'm going back to ignoring you like I do drunks, idiots and the mentally incompetent. The thread is not about turning AK's into benchrest...

I don't reload but when I see groups like that shooter error comes mind but also this is com bloc sardine can ammo. I am sure their QA/QC is not the best and may also contribute

AK barrel makers Green Mountain (thanks marinepmi), ESS, and Montana Rifleman (just bought by Remington last month). Here's an ESS barreled Waffen Werks AK74, 200 yard target, 7n6 5.45x39 ammo, ~13 rounds quick fire, from rest. The ruler is 6 inches. Regarding Montana rifleman barrels, go to...

ER Shaw rep the other day told me they do AR barrels for DPMS.

Handled a lot of eastern bloc AKM's RPK's in theatre and that's where my interest started. Afghans abuse and neglect all their stuff, but had old beat up soviet AK's (lot of chinese ones too) still running like a top. In 30 + years will the M16's hold up as well without good logistics, support...

Have you seen the SGL 21-94 video link earlier in this thread? The guy shot a 10 round 3 MOA group with an AKM. You don't think that's on par with standard issue M16/AR15? Rack grade M16 shoots about 3 MOA, I know first hand. I know AR's are accurate, got several and here's my SDMR @ 500...

Think ER Shaw doesn't do custom single orders for AK barrels, but only for companies like Xtreme or others. It's a shame because I hear they are rifle cut, chrome lined and pretty accurate. One source said ER had got some equipment upgrades and putting out much better product. I've got a gov't...

I called 412-221-3636 and the guy says they dont offer AK barrels. How exactly did you get it? He insists they just do AR barrels. I believe you and several companies report using er shaw for their ak builds. BTW I got this off warrior talk written by an engineer who owned an AK and did some...

I'd try arf.com on that one. Never seen a post on SH about a sam r build. SDMR, MK 12 mod 0, 1 I have seen clone builds on here with specs. I think what stopped me was the front sight assembly specifically where to find.

In video looks like about a 3 inch group to me. I haven't shot a 1 MOA group with an AK. Have several AR's already. Know it's a capable platform. Recently shot ~ 7-1/2 inch 5 round group at 500 yards with open irons with my krieger SDMR. Interested in AK barrels here though.

Can you give me the contact information for the source where you obtained the barrel? Any details (e.g., chrome lined, twist, rifle cut, button, ect,) helpful.
