How many of you bought your $650 rifle only to find you are getting
4-6 inch groups at the range and being laughed at by the AR-15 owners?
Sure, AK's aren't target rifles, but come on! If I only shoot 10 rounds, the first 5 will be inside
6 inches, if I keep going the spread goes up to 8. I paid $290 for my Hungarian and so
these results are acceptable, but now I see them regularly going for more than $600 NIB.
Man, I'd be pissed if I paid that much for a rifle this innaccurate. I suspect there will be a lot
of LNIB AK's on the market by next year. People trying to get their money back while the demand
seems high. What do you bet the prices actually stabilize, or even drop for thumbhole AK's, especially now
that US-made AK's are being offered for sale with the original pistol grip for about the same $650.
