AR Guys VS AK Guys

[Karl-just-Karl]

And then there is this, you either love it or hate it.

Either way it is probably an abomination.

I'm sure you could find a stick-on man bun somewhere.... if not, I need to market that.

I bought one for my f.i.l.
He didn't think it was funny sho I still gave it, you can have it.

I'll always be an AR guy first, but I've got a lot of love for the AK. I had a WASR for awhile. I keep dreaming of the Rifle Dynamics AKs. Anyone have any experience with those?

I had a pre Rifle Dynamics under folder. Back when Jim Fuller was Jim Fuller and not RD. It was a beautiful iteration of the AK. Unfortunately, the ex wife got that one. I’d highly recommend looking for a Jim Fuller era RD AK as opposed to the new owners, as I KNOW Jim’s work.

i heard it said once that a person needs to live in the country his gun came from.

That’s why I bought myself a nice, forged Palmetto AK

AR Guys VS AK Guys - APOCALYPSE EDITION

I want pics of the guys who wore a gas mask in the store.......

I love both platforms a lot, but I have decided a AR makes more sense for me. The ar is faster on reloads and lighter to carry.

[BoltThrower]

The AR performs better but I cannot get over the visceral choppy feeling of shooting an AK. It's more enjoyable.

 

[DadSmith]

I like both. However, modern AR's reliability is getting much better now days than they use to be. For accuracy you can't beat an AR.

 

[PRasko]

I lost it when he threw the magazine.
