    I do own both. But did anyone else notice the ak guys finger when he shot the 4x4 ? His is slapping the trigger. Yes the ar is much more accurate,i will not dispute that.BUT I could put five rounds in the kill zone with any of my aks at 200 yards.I saw a video of an ar/vs ak with 2x4s.The ar did not penetrate the second one,the ak went though 6.

    I could put five rounds in the kill zone with any of my aks at 200 yards.

    Most AKs typically shoot 4 to 6 moa (closer to 6) from what I've seen w/factory ammo. A few do better. Some do worse.

    If yours do better than 4 to 6, do the dance of joy and don't ever sell 'em!

    My impression is that most AK's are "accurate enough" for their intended role. I wonder how much of their reputation for inaccuracy is exaggerated by their often being used by poorly trained individuals (terrorists, 3rd world militaries, etc.), and/or most people shooting poor quality ammo through them, and crummy factory sights.
