That does help
Afghani volunteers have poor marksmanship. Turns out, no one ever showed them how to adjust the sights on their AK.

Private contractors=Blackwater?
Well, I mean Blackwater does have a lot to do. In addition to Sleeping, Eating and Lifting, they have to choose the correct coolguy sunglasses and pose for photos showing how awesome they are.

Heh! I had an AK clone for a while. Adjusting the sights meant you missed in a different place. 😉 It can’t be the cartridge because the SKS is reasonably accurate. The loose just about everything and indifferent bore-plating?

And that is some how a problem? Last thing I would like is accuate fire from the opponent.

Paul, these are the people we want to be able to shoot accurately. It’s the Taliban we want to have poor marksmanship.

Hell, I’ve already shown them, for free on my web site, how to do it. Six billion dollars? I’d go over there for three billion, stay a couple weeks, and about 100 of them would know how to shoot, in addition to knowing how to adjust their damned sights, plus they’d all know how to teach their comrades. No further work required. Knowledge tends to self-perpetuate in such conditions.
And for all who feel the need to snark about the AK’s accuracy; If the rifle’s in good condition (ever expect any rifle in bad condition to shoot right?) it’s capable of every bit the accuracy required by the U.S. military of the standard, rack-grade M-14. Actually a bit better. It’s not sub MOA, but no battle rifle was ever expected be. If you can’t hit as man-sized target at 300 meters it’s your fault. Go ahead; ask me how I know.

I ask this in a certain degree of seriousness…AK sights can be adjusted? Like, by someone not a gunsmith? I mean, I guess they go up an down, but if the entire complement of Afghan trainees can’t figure out something I intuited when my dad gave me my SKS, we’ve got bigger problems than I thought. Seriously, these guys don’t even rate “Russian peasant” level of intelligence?

Yes AK front sights are quite easily adjusted. This is the tool you use. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=368914
