Here, I have a new question.

Why is the Ak47/74 less accurate then AR-15 type rifles.

If they are both machined well and fire quality ammunition shouldn't the performance be about the same.
The AR-15s does not use a piston; gas blows back through a very small tube straight onto the bolt carrier. This eliminates the movement of the piston inside the rifle increases accuracy.
