There's a good story on that rifle , first it was & is the most accurate AK I have ever shot . When I was a Dealer , I got a bunch of these when they came out & sold every one except this one , because it shot so well , but ended selling it to a good friend of mine , in a weak moment & many years later he complained to me that it was jamming & he wanted an AR , because he wanted a scope on the rifle . Well I built him an AR 15 , even though there's a side mount on the AK for scope mount .
He was beyond a happy camper with the scoped AR 15 after I dumped a thirty rd. mag . I found he was shooting cheap steel case ammo out of the AK & was told AK's don't need to be cleaned ( where have you heard that before ) I cleaned it & used my ammo & it fires flawlessly .
