Your gun was made for WW II..

The Russians were trying to defend their homeland against the German invaders. Their only last line of defense was their people.

They didn't need a good gun. All they needed was something that you could point and it would go BANG!

There was stories on the History Channel about - if you were late to work, they would send you to the Goolag - someplace up in Siberia where they made them rifles.

If you were late for work twice, they put you on the front line, put that rifle in your hand, told you to walk out into no mans land and they let the enemy shoot at you - so their snipers could shoot at the enemy snipers. If they missed, they told the next person that they had to go out and pick up the rifle where ever you dropped it and start walking. They did it over and over and over again!

They made those rifles by the millions and quality was not a issue - because the owner of that rifle had a lifes expentancy of about 15 minutes.

When you are at war, and the enemy is at your gate and you only have 15 minutes to make a rifle. You wouldn't care either if the bore was straight or if the rifling was any good. They made them as fast as they could!

About the best accuracy that you can expect - would be to hit a pie plate at 100 yards. Thats all the more that gun was intended to do.
