I have an AK and my cabinets are already filled with Tupperware.
All in good fun, I assure you. Some day I'd like to get an m16A1. Might buy one of the Vietnam original uppers floating around if I ever get around to it.
the rifles themselves seem like they require a lot of maintenance and care.
Im American, and my AR's were built by me, from parts that were built by other Americans. The AR platform has parts manufactured by everyone from big companies, to father and son teams, in their garage. As a weapon, the AR does a great job, but I actually think it does as good of a job of bringing us all together as a free country.
Think about it? What do you suppose would have happened if you were living under the itchy red blanket of communist Russia, and you decided you wanted to start making AK47 parts in your garage? Probably wouldn't end well for you. Or your wife, or your children, or your children children, or anyone who ever talked to your children's children.
OK, now Im getting off topic abit.
I love them them both is the point.
I will be building an AK from receiver blank hopefully this year.
I guess I hate to see someone one sided when it comes to guns. Hell, they're all great, in their own ways.
THough if money and whatnot was no object, I would get a full size sig 550 in 6.5 grendel. Or one of the balanced recoil AKs in full auto.
It is on my priority list this year but I am working towards a fishing boat purchase first.
But what would you guys and gals recommend as far as an AR. Too build one myself or buy one outright?

Boat? I had several but they all were lost in a shooting accident.
Oh, wait...
Nice pipedream, but a Sig 550 doesn't exist in 6.5 Grendel. Have fun getting the mags to fit, finding a bolt, and producing a new barrel for it. Good God if we are going to go there, then I want a M41A Pulse Rifle. If you don't know what it is, look it up
Had one, sold it. Bought an M1A Scout to replace it. Much happier with it.
