How to zero a AK 47 | Tactical Rifleman

So, I got me a new AK-47 from KalashUSA!!!. Problem is that it needs to be zeroed. That's when it dawned on my that we haven't done a video yet on zeroing an AK? Chad, go get your camera... This week I want to talk about how I was taught to Zero the Iron sights on an AK-47 rifle. Yes, I know a lot of people are gonna bitch, that there are other ways to zero your AK. Yep, there are. However, the technique that I'm going to show you today is how I was taught by the 18 Bravo Weapons guy on my first A-Team. This is the technique that we used on every trip that involved teaching indigenous forces overseas that carried AK-47s. It works. Could you do it at 100 meters, with the sight set on 1? Yep, but most military bases don't have 100 meters rifle ranges. However, all bases have 25 meter ranges, including air force bases, for their security forces to zero their weapons. So, a 25 meter zero is a better technique for us. What about red dot optics on AKs? Zero them as you would for any other red dot mounted on a 7.62x39mm. This technique applies only to iron sights.
