    Straight shooter straight instruction. Well done. Just made the jump to AK. Zastava zpap m70. Been with AR for several years so looking forward to the breaking. Gonna reload too so there's fun to be had. Gonna do a rsregulate barrel clamp picatinny for bipod shooting and will get started as soon as it arrives. Look forward to posting!

    A good tip would be look on the top of your AK. Mine has a line etched into it to show where the factory "zeroed" it at. So you can line up the line with your sight and get a simple zero.

    You didn't say where your elevation is set at. My understanding is zero at 25yds at the 200 meter setting. Then shoot 100 meters at setting 1. All the way back is the Battle Zero setting, which equals 250 meters.

    When zeroing at 25 yards make sure you select 200m , this way you will never need to compensate just put on the right range and aim center.

    • @paulthompson4367
      @paulthompson4367 Год назад +2

      Exactly. With my 18.5" SKS I set the slider on 200m while performing 25YDS zero, then re-set the rear notch to 100m for shooting the target at 100m. and so on. Do you suppose Klayco was using the Battlesight zero notch to explain his 100 yd projectile rise?

    Hey man I'm new to the AK business but I recently just bought my first one. Its a regular barebones Zastava Zpap M70. It's one of the newer ones but doesn't have the chrome line barrel and blah blah and I was curios about a point you made in your Jmac muzzle break vid that you did a while ago. If you can help me out, I'm confused to the mounting of the RRD-4C 14F Keymount and if I can just throw that on there, instead of having it pinned or using an adapter then a different muzzle device for suppressing. Hopefully my question made sense? Thanks man, your vids are awesome!!

    • @KLAYCO47
      @KLAYCO47  4 года назад +1

      Yes you need to make sure you buy the one that mounts to the face of the barrel. Meaning you're not jamming it in to the front sight post you're tightening it against the face of the barrel he sells those with shim kits.

    • @KLAYCO47
      @KLAYCO47  2 года назад

      That's just the way you zero an AK. With the 25-yard zero the round is still traveling up at 100 and comes back to your point of aim at 200. The mentality behind that is you can basically aim at the middle of your Target and hit it from 25 all the way out to 200 yards so there's less thinking. The Russians really weren't the only ones to have that mentality.

      Ok thanks, I seen several different ideas from battle setting to 100 meter ,300 meter setting for the 25 yard (meter) sight in method.

    Maybe a 50 yard zero would give a sligtly lower point of aim at 100 and a slightly higher at 25 best of both worlds? I dunno

      50 yard zero is better for 5.45 and 556. Stick to 25 yards with 7.62
