the thing with the AK and accuracy is build quality of the rifle and the ammo and generally poor sights and or scope mounts.
i think he spent about as much time making a mount for it as it took to build the thing--lol
i am curious to what mags you would use in a 6.5 AK build--
in my steel 30rd AKM 7.62 mags the 6,5 rounds load and seem like they would feed but they ride slightly nose up-- they look awful close to working out of an AK mag--
i loaded 33 rounds of 6.5G in an old rommy surplus drum and they look like they would work out of the old drum style mag.
i didn't load the old drum all the way up-- and i can't remember if it held 75 rounds or 100 of 7.62x39
if i had a spare AK kit i would build a 6.5g AKM and play with the stock AK mags as their so close to working. it looks doable.
Just curious if you knew the VEPR is being sold in the US in 6.5 Grendel but sometimes referred to 6.5 X 39.
They are not cheap but probably the cheapest route to a 6.5 Grendel AK.
