The cost of ammo for the AK will let you have much more fun at the range. I chose AK first but won't be satisfied until I also have an AR. I decided to stop buying guns and start investing in ammo/reloading until I'm happy with how well I can shoot the guns I already have.

russian army uses 5.45 and the chinese are looking for a new round so pretty soon only armys useing 7.62 is third world armys that dont have the capabilities to get here.

round arcs and drops way faster then .223.less recoil and the design of the AK makes the rifle a tad less acurate.


the only thing the AK has that he still has going is being able to run dirty or muddy with out cleaning....but the chances of you runing it that dirty is nile to none...how many of you guys are going to be in a fire fight in tropical conditions

Where do you get your info?? You don't know what you are talking about.....

The Russian army used 3 different rifle calibers, the 7.62, the 5.45, and the 9x39.
You can build an AK for half of an AR build, the 5.56 has no range advantage on the M43. The M43 and a 7.62 NATO are pretty much identical when fired from a 16" barrel, if you can see it-you can hit with either caliber. A 10 shot pattern at 100yds from an AR and an AK will be about the same, just bigger holes in one target. Proven that many times, over and over again-neither weapons are tack drivers, both are more accurate than their users. How much 'seat time' do you have behind an AK?? I have almost 20 years behind both with more time on the AK than the AR...evidently you can't shoot long guns except for a certain few.....I'll put it this way, if you can put a hole in a quarter at 50yds on iron sights with your AR, I'll take my AK and make two dimes and a nickel out of it.
And if you have to stash your weapon, I bet you'll have to open it to clean out the dirt you buried it in, I'll just pop the top cover and piss in it....I might put the cover back on, might not...no parts to lose in an AK field strip.....

I see a man with an AK, I think 'Don't Tread On Me', I see a man with an AR, I think "Need some lube, batteries, or decent mags??'....
