You should be ok.
But if you want peace of mind, tie it on bench and shoot few mags behind corner with trigger cord.

Are you sure?
As far as I know, Sako was/is only manufacturer who tested <span style="text-decoration: underline">all</span> their assault rifle accuracy before delivery.
If not good enough, it went back to production line. I know a guy whos father was a test shooter in Sako and actually tested those rifles.
Typically Sako M95/M92 AK:s shoots 1½MOA groups@100 with standard Finnish Defence Force 8gram FMJ ammunition, many of them even better.
IMHO Sako materials, finishing, sights, barrels etc can not be compared to any other AK in the world. About same goes to its predecessor Valmet AK, made in Tourula plant.
Galil is about only exception, pretty close what comes to quality.
Valmet was btw only AK that passed Saudi sand tests without any mailfunctions. Saudis army was buying new AR:s then, I think it was late 70´s or early 80´s.
