Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step in zeroing an AK-47 with iron sights?

Begin at 25 yards using a specialized AK-47 iron sight zeroing target. Ensure a stable shooting position, using a backpack for front support and a rear bag to eliminate movement for accurate initial shots.

How do you adjust the front sight post on an AK-47 for zeroing?

To raise the point of impact, screw the front sight post clockwise. To adjust for windage (left or right), use a tool to push the front sight post laterally in the desired direction.

What rear sight settings are used for AK-47 zeroing?

For the initial 25-yard zero, set the rear sight slider to the '2' position. After confirming at 25 yards, move to 100 yards and adjust the rear sight slider to the '3' position.

When should you re-zero an AK-47 rifle?

You should re-zero your rifle whenever there are significant changes in weather conditions, you switch to a different ammunition lot, or after installing or changing muzzle devices.
