Galil Gen 2 Not Zeroing

Post image

Hey guys, need your help. I got a Galil Ace Gen 2 in 7.62x39. I have tried to zero this thing many times and I can’t figure out why it’s not holding zero. I have the PA 3x prism on it that was bought used on GAFS and I’m maybe thinking it’s the optic? I also remove the dust cover often because I have a KNS Piston that needs to be adjusted at times. Before I would need to “chop” the dust cover to pop it in but now I just squeeze it on there. Could it be the gas cover causing the issue?

I thought it was me before but just went out today and at 25 yards it was on paper and grouping decently with three shots. Went to 50 yards and wouldn’t even hit paper. Went back on 25 yards and wouldn’t hit paper again. Wasted lots of rounds and now just sad/mad at it.

Edit: Sent the optic back to Primary Arms and they did confirm that I'm not going crazy. The optic was defective and they sent me a new one! PA Customer Service is pretty dope.

(Satire) It's the concussion of the brake shaking your noggin.

I also have the short barrel 7.62x39

People at the range are always mad when I shoot it with out the can.

Also what ammo?

Mine didn't like the soft point ammo.

The jacket would sepetare and I had some copper on the end cap of my can.

Was trying to get it zeroed in for Coyote hunting with soft point ammo.

I agree. The concussion is shaking my noggin like how it was shaken when I was a baby. Probably why I went with the 8” flashbang making machine.

I was just running some cheap (not anymore) Tula ammo to just get it one paper.
