The fact the myth that says AKs are inaccurate still persists always amazes me. The off the rack AK is not as accurate as a precision AR-15 but they are as accurate as an off the rack AR. One of the side by side comparison tests that has been done had taken one of the worst AKs (I.O.) and ran it against one of the best AR-15s (Daniel Defense). That is going to skew the result in favor of the AR right from the word go. If you take a RAS47 from Century Arms or one of the mass produced rifles from DDI or Definitive Arms and put them against an off the rack AR-15 things won't be so clear cut. If you get a high end custom AK from Definitive, Rifle Dynamics, or Krebs and put them against a high end AR-15 and it becomes a dead heat. If the AK in question is a 74 pattern firing the 5.45x39mm round the AK will win. The 5.45x39mm is the superior round in the standard AK pattern rifle we just don't see as many rifles using it. The Obama ban on 7n6 ammo, the same type of ban that was stopped when it came to M855, doesn't help. The Vepr in 7.62x54R is a different animal altogether and is a good opponent for the AR-10. This also doesn't take into account the AKs that fire the AR-15's round. I've seen shooters with a Serb M85 SBR shoot that better than an AR-15 SBR with both using the same 5.56x45mm round. At any rate the myth of the AK as inaccurate is inaccurate.
