Goose the AK design is about bullet proof as has been proven in both the military market and in civilian hands. It is fairly accurate in the sense of the assault rifle/carbine type rifle with the max range being about 440 yards. The originals had sights marked out to 800 but it's thought that was done to boost the soldiers moral. About the best anyone can expect is a 1 to 1.5 inch group supported from a bench at 100 yards with the average shooter getting somewhere around 3.5-4. Being practical and knowing that most people don't shoot enough to consistently shoot a 1 inch group, I have to say that for hunting about 200 yards would be max. Thats because it's considered that a deer has about an 8 inch kill zone. AT 200 yards the average shooter will have an 8" MOA and that covers the kill zone with iron sights.
IMO no assault rifle is a good home defense weapon except for the scare factor (you can get the same scare factor by working the action on a 12 GA pump in the dark). Far too powerful with the ability to shoot through a human and still go through several walls at close range.
They are a great plinker and inexpensive to shoot.
Best time to buy at a gun show is near closing time when a lot of dealers are looking to make a few last sales. I know that in my area most of the time the prices are a bit over regular prices.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
