I dunno... there is an OC/CC thread and a Glock/XD thread around here somewhere!This thread is dumb. There is no question more hashed over than this.

I agree, though. Two very different rifles. For instance: when an AK runs out of ammo, it makes a very effective club. When an AR runs out of ammo, it makes a very effective flashlight.
This thread is dumb. There is no question more hashed over than this.
Generally the low budget types will tell you AKs are awesome and all that they need, and the high dollar guys / competition shooters will tell you their ARs are awesome.
When the truth is there is very VERY few dollars difference between a basic AK and a basic AR of similar quality.
Buy what you want for the purpose that you have.
All I can say sir is opinions are like a holes everyone has one. Mine is for the ak. Not because of the cost of the gun as I have several that fall into the price range of an AR. I just don't like the unreliability of the AR. Now I have never shot one or had one so I can only go with the opinion I see from the Inet. From what I read the thing jams frequently if not cleaned all the time. I clean my AK each time I shoot when I get home. I hear AR fans complain it jams on the range after putting a clip thru it. Let me see you put your barrel tip in the mud and see what happen on either weapon. The AK will shoot it right out the front. Or lets put some dirt in the receiver.
You should try the searching for this. There has many MANY threads debating these two rifles,and you could find a lot of info on both of them.
But I'm Ak all the way lol
I have found that the search function on this site is doodo. I click search and I type "PSL" Sorry no search criteria found.
I have a thread for a PSL.
Yes the search function can sort of be a pain in the rear sometimes. I find it helpful to put in a very widely used term, and you can usually find what you looking for.
But I'm going to take your AK Vs. AR thread....and raise you an SKS. What say you on the SKS? It is extremely cheap (as far a semi auto rifles are concerned), just as accurate as the AK, and I would say just as reliable also. Now that they have the dependable (believe it or not) 20 rnd mags for them (Tapco), they can easily be put in the same bracket as the Ak, and darn well almost overtake it in funtionality and durability (almost). Sorry just a die hard SKS fan
Disclaimer: I have never run over a Pmag with my truck or dragged any rifles through mud or sand to make an internet video. However, like many others here I own versions of both the AR and AK. Mine are all reliable range toys.
Fair enough. Which do you enjoy shooting more?
If me and you were to go to the range today and only take 1 gun which of the two would you take and why?
