I had one of the springfield arms Imbel FAL's with the from the factory bipod on it, a bunch of magazines, and a bunch of surplus ammo from where I forget. The gun shot just fine was much more accurate than an Ak and never had a problem. It was just heavy. The scope mount I got with the gun was a dust cover with a rail on it, sort of funny that.
I just got rid of my last AK, a great gun worked on by Chris Butler in Florida. You were never afraid to do a mag dump in it because even if you burned the barrel up it would shoot no worse. It shot thru a bit thicker sapling than a 55 grain ball bullet from a 223 so there was that. In the end I just don't like AK ergonomics.
So I sold it and replaced with a Smith MP10 which has been a lot of fun, easy to shoot, accurate, and only 10 3/4 pounds with a load of 20 rounds in it.
Guns that don't work for me go down the road pretty quick.
