| I'm having some accuracy problems with my aes. I seem to be getting minute of garbage can lid at 100 yards. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm not the best marksman but even my wasr did better than this. |

Mount a scope to it somehow, and test it. If it's good -- Your sights are loose. Get a magnifier and examine the barrel crown. You can usually see if the escaping gas is leaving a perfectly symetrical pattern on the muzzle. You need a perfect bevel where the slug leaves the bore. Spin a bullet tip in the muzzle, after marking it (muzzle) with Dykem or Marker pen to see if it's evenly beveled. Recrown if needed with a marble, ball brg. and grinding compound. Remove everything from the bbl. (Muzzle device, lower hanguard, sling, etc. then put them back and test again if it shoots good without them.) Coat some spent brass with Dykem, Marker ink, and cycle through the chamber, looking for oversize, out of round, off center chamber, whatever. Check the locking lugs the same way for matching contact area (put the blacking on the lugs, and cycle some spent brass.) Check barrel for straightness. If it's badly bent -- you can see it. My AES 10b came with a gas piston that was screwed in tight and rivited. I would expect that to affect accuracy, too. I would adjust mine to have the proper amount of 'wiggle', but I had a mishap while carp-shooting out of my 9' canoe.
