AR or AK

[! twitty]

I am looking for my next gun and was wondering if I should get an AR or AK? What are your opinions?

 

[Shooter1]

Get a real nice AK and a ton of ammo. If you have the time and money go for the DRACO SBR route! Unless you want the accuracy of the AR.

 

[LotsofGlocks]

My vote is for the AK!! AR= Money Pit!

first you need to give a description of what you want the rifle to do for you? then informed people will give you informed opinions.

Gimme' an AK.

In the 70's we used to play a game where we'd see how fast we could disable an M16 with one or two grains of sand... Admittedly, I have never done this with any current manufacture.

We also used to fire .308 rounds into AK receivers and see how many of them would still function. This originally started as an effort to destroy them before throwing them away. It didn't always work. Many of them would still function. If it wasn't "destruction of government property", I would say that (hypothetically), "not one M16 would work after the same treatment.".

"Way back then" the AK handled mud a lot better, too.

Arsenal AK

This would probably be the best bet for the money.

Aim surplus has a few options by Arsenal last I checked.

Well I am looking for an all around great gun for home defense. I would like something that I can customize but am not sure i want to drop several grand into an AR. I know i can get a basic WASR-10 double stack locally for $380 but the lowest AR I have found is close to $700 for an Olympic Arms. Is the AR really worth that much more?

I think the better question is are you sure you wanna waste $380 on a wasr-10 that might suck?

for home defense, I wouldnt go with an AK. you will kill your neighbors. even an AR isnt my first choice if I hear a bump in the night, but with the proper ammo, i will take it over an AK.

you dont need to sink a couple grand to have a great AR. spend around $800 and you can have a reliable no nonsense AR. buy optics later. get a flattop with flip up sights or get one with the carry handle. or a flattop with a detachable carry handle.

Go with the AK.

 

[Fordtough25]

I have both, I love both. At this moment I am loving the AK more. Such a different feel shooting both, I like it. I'd skip the WASR's also unless that's all you can afford.

Saiga for sure!

 

[sajnaj]

but then on the other hand you can build a ar15 for $480 with a dpms upper and a plum crazy lower

 

[WOLFEMAN]

Like my AR's, even have one in762x39. But if I bought another
rifle, it would be an AK

Off topic, but who made the 7.62 ar and is it reliable?
