i'd honestly go AR right now just because, the AK market is ok right now but the AR market is unbelievable. A good AR will eat up any crap ammo you feed it and honestly my $450 PSA runs just as good as my yankee hill. not to say you cant get a good ak cheap as well. its really a great time to just pick whichever one you like more! i wouldnt worry too much about reliability as in this market there is no reason to buy junk
Would anyone throw me a link? As a matter of fact I need to post a WTB. Do you think $500 Will get me into the rifle? I'd rather be able to play with my gun like legos inbetween range trips anyways...Lol.ARs are cheap, and AKs are over priced. So to me there is no real question here. LOL
