Tried ArR's twice..... Always go back to an AK!

Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. I'll keep both I think.

The AK is just a rugged, reliable hard punching gun that will shoot every piece of crap round you find laying around. But it lacks the accuracy and versatility of the AR.

The AR is much more precise, modular and modifiable. It's versatile and can be either a close quarters defensive weapon or an intermediate to long range scoped killer. It can also run a conversion kit to shoot 22 LR. This is the most attractive feature to me as a prepper. I can, at need, deer hunt with it but I can drop in a conversion kit and hunt rabbit or squirrel.

I do think I have one more AR than I need and one fewer AKs than I need however. I might need to make an adjustment. lol.

If you get down to the south-side/airport, let me know, I'll lend ya one

As long as we take my truck....

I want an AK! I've never even shot one, but now I want one. Someone should feel sorry for me and hook a brutha up..

Come on down! If I went AR I'd have a 7,62 upper. Other than that, AK all the way!!

Just come pick it up brotha, I know you're good for it. It's an AK, not like you can hurt it. Run a couple thousand rounds through it, hit it with a pressure washer and bring it back when you're done

I liked the X39 SOTA upper I had on my AR, only downside was the better mags (think they were ASC) were a little pricey. I do miss having that option..... May get another one, not sure yet.

Pressure washer? I thought they went in the dishwasher...

Meh, after a range outing, I normally just field strip all my guns, throw them in the bed of my truck & hit the car wash ..... That rainbow colored wax leaves a fruity-fresh smell.

Now I want one just for this reason.

I of course like the Ak platform better but there is nothing wrong with the Ar-15. I just had to pick either 5.56 or 7.62x39. I of course chose the 7.62x39. A bit cheaper to shoot than the .223/5.56. The ar-15 has too many small parts for me. That's the only thing I don't like about it.
