I am just considering buying an ak 47 sar 1 for just a throw around gun....but is there anything that i should know before buying one of these????whats the accuracy at 100yds? any troubles?

 

I have one of the cheap AK clones. Shoots everytime I pull the trigger and doesn't care about the ammo. As for accuracy, I have never really gotten down to bench shoot and see. However, from what I have seen, I would guess it at 4-5 inches at 100 yards. Sights are not real good for accurate shooting. It will keep them on a pepper popper I shoot at. It was never meant to be that accurate due to the loose tolerances. But those same tolerances are what make it so dependable in all conditions.

 

They make a great throw around gun for the truck. Most any variety of the AK will reliably hit out to 200 yards or so with iron sights. I have one that I keep in the truck and haul around the farm as a “utility” gun and it has always done as asked. Not a tack driver like the AR clones can be but it requires very little in the way of maintenance. Leave it behind the truck seat for a few months and dig it out of all the dust dirt and McDonalds wrappers and pop cans and it will rattle off 30 rounds without a hiccup.
