One of my most accurate rifles is an AKM from a parts kit...
We need to get some magnification on that rifle and see what it will actually do with good ammo (wish I could find Lapua in 7.62x39 here). I think your results with it so far, can be chalked up to the fact that nearly all rifles have more inherent accuracy than their shooters can take advantage of, so having a rifle that is well set-up for a particular shooter can really pay dividends in terms of giving results that are better than what you might expect from a given weapon.
Put the original Warsaw length stock, shitty wood donkey-dick hand guard, small pistol grip, original AK rear sight, and shitty trigger on that rifle, and I think you'd find shooting it to be a bit different experience. As it stands, it has a very nice hand guard, a grip that fills your hand well, first quality milled trigger group tuned within an inch of its life, a good peep sight, and the very best stock I have ever managed to build, sized for our orangutan length arms. And you're a better shot than I am to begin with. Of course you shoot it well.
When are you going to put a scope on that thing, anyway?
