New to the AK

Im most likely going to hand it over to the pros to do it.

That's your best bet if you don't feel comfortable tackling those things by yourself

Also remember the AMD-65 is not your typical AK.

The AMD-65 was meant to be used by tankers, paratroopers, special forces, etc. who are more accustomed to CQB and where compactness is a must not for the typical grunt.

Normal AK's have longer sight radii and better stocks for more accurate shooting. However the improvements stated by many here should help to make it more accurate. Just remember the AMD-65 was never meant to be a long range/tack-driving shooter anyway and was developed for a different purpose than the normal AK.

I finally got out to the range and got her hitting some paper! I got the Tapco front sight tool but now i need to get the windage tool since im having to aim a little to the left to get on target. Once I get that ill be all zeroed in.

I still need to order the cheek weld, dog leg and peep sight. I think when I get all that ill have a good shooting AK.

Also, do you think upgrading the trigger is worth it?

If it already has a G2 (Tapco) trigger in it, stick with that. It's the best bang for your buck and a decent trigger.

If you are used to an AR trigger, the AK trigger will feel creepy but it's part of the design. Even the adjustable Red Star trigger won't rid the AK of creep and overtravel entirely.

My AMD-65's sights were off and I had to zero them at the range. Maybe they aren't zeroing them or they're using different ammo than us? In any case, mine shoots well now.
