AR or AK? Flip a coin. If it's zeroed, it will do whatever you need it to do.
an ak zeroed in?? ha, that's a laugh.
Steven Tracy not really... AKs can be pretty damn accurate. Well hell mine is at least and I'm an ar guy. Saying their not accurate is like someone saying ars aren't reliable.... It just ain't true.
How accurately can you engage a man sized silhouette target with an AK's iron sights at 500 meters?
How do you zero a coin?
Steven Tracy I dont think you understand what zeroing a gun means before commenting on weapons maybe learn the basics first
just get an ak and an ar..
jason wolden AK-47 Or 74?
Either. 74 will cost you more money for good magazines. You'd likely have to order all your ammo online for 5.45. For me, golden tiger 7.62 and Arsenal SLR107R all day.

Through my research I've noticed that people that have both AR's and Ak's have more length and more girth than people that just have one or the other.. It was a government funded study that cost taxpayers 6 trillion dollars..
this actually sounds legit lol
how can there be 6 triollion dollars when theres only 10 trillion people?

To the guy I will take you out to 300 or 400 yard and show you well I will take you ass out to 800 yard and hit great so take your russin gun and try harder
2018 Wasr10 with 10k rounds through it = tank
2018 Aero Precision 16" AR-15 with 5k rounds through it = tank
They should just start making "32" round mags that people can load 30 rounds into without issue.
arent 45's a thing?
HonorableAssassins you damn right, those last 5 rounds get harder and harder to load.
M and roll in Daniel Defense
I don’t understand why they don’t still make standard 30round ar mags and just redesign them and make them a tad bit longer so the follower spring can just sit lower and have that extra room for the tension on the last few rounds. Basically I guess just make a 32 round AR mag like you guys said was made already but call it a standard 30 round mag.
@@James_Edward59 Daniel Defense has 32 rounds Are mags.
After two tours give me an AR! After 22 years of service for the record an AK47 have an high record of being reliable. Both weapons will have you doing a dirt nap! The Ultimate Weapon is the Soldier behind the trigger!
I've gone from ARs to AKs back to ARs. People should learn both and shoot both. I love them equally for their own reasons.
N K93 I've gone from AR to ak and I can see myself going back. Love both.

Ok, this is coming from a retired grunt and current LE guy. That doesn't make me an expert but. ........In either case an individual is most likely to get into a gun fight on the job. The Army / Marines are gonna issue you an M16 / M4. 90% of LE departments are only going to authorize you to carry an AR variant on patrol duty. If you are Military or Law Enforcement or are planning on going into either I suggest you Train like you Fight and get an AR variant. Or better yet get both!!!!!
AR v AK.... this is dumbest argument ever. If you live in America you should have at least three fighting rifles - one 5.56 that takes AR15 mags, one 5.45 that takes ak74 mags, and one 7.62 that takes AK47 mags. Why? Because you tailor your rifle to the most reliable source of ammunition which is usually going to be the corpses of your enemy.
Finland used this strategy very successfully against the Russians in two wars.
If it's Washington DC/NATO coming for your guns, go with the 5.56. If it's UN peacekeepers you're going to probably want one of the other ones. And since a doublestack 9mm is the most common handgun configuration in the world, use one of those. A plate carrier with plates is also a really good idea. Buy them and train now while you still can.
lowell houser And since Washington DC/NATO is your most likely enemy America, prioritize 5.56.
But if you're already taking ammunition off dead soldiers why not take their arms.
Because you've already got yours dialed in FOR YOU. Unless it's China. China will show up with it's homegrown 6.8 that it's never licensed specifically so that no one can use it against them. Then grab one of theirs and strip it down looking for a GPS tracker.
I wouldn't take their arms unless it had something to offer me like GL's or more ammo or thermal sights. However I would take their carry packs and plates or plate carriers...explosives too.
lowell houser I would say the .45acp vs 9mm is the most ridiculous argument ever.
I have always agreed with your approach. No need to to trash one at the other's expense. Own both and acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses after shooting. Make assessments.
James Yeager said in response to "should I bring an AR or AK to the High Risk Civilian Contractor class" James: " If we start with 6 ARs and 6 AKs, we typically have 12 Aks at the end" I like them both, but prefer the AK platform for reasons just like this.
+YouTake Except for that class when someone brings a SCAR then they'll be 11 AK's and 1 AR at the end ;)
+William S lol yeah, I can't wait to get a scar. The problem is, usually can have 6 AKs for the price of one scar. I'd rather have five friends with Aks, than one with a scar.
Also quit a stretch calling it an "ar". That's an insult to the scar;)
YouTake Good points. I'm still torn on what to buy. Been watching youtube vids and reading articles for 2 weeks. I'm about to come into some extra cash and can't decide which rifle I want. Hell I can't decide between 3 calibers lol
William S the scar is not an ar.... zero parts interchangeability. The scar uses a piston setup with a similar bolt design that's beefier to last longer.
I've got to say, I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I really like your stuff. Your reasoning makes a lot of sense. Keep up the good work.
Way to go! You did a very good job of keeping your argument smart and very unbiased
im biased as all hell, but I like em both so that's helps keep things level lol
A very mature and thorough comparison for someone your age. And obviously reflecting real world experience rather than the usual regurgitated bullshit so many of these poser commandos find on the net and puke back up. lol. I'd echo all that you said and simply add that the addtional crossovers of caliber and barrel length for each further level the playing field - like 5.45 AKs in shorty formats and/or ARs in other calibers, SPR lengths, etc., etc. All a question of personal preference and intended purpose
Preached it perfect, brother. Anyone who disagrees really hasn't shot either rifle enough... At least quality ones. Ever since I got my ak back from rifledynamics, my ar has pretty much stayed in the safe. Like you said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a great weapon. But the ak is what I grab when it's time to train. Just preference. Keep up the good work.
I really dig your stuff, man. It is fact inspired and real world applied, which is just fucking rad. Big shoutout to how your run your videos and the points made, which can be for the guy in his shooting infancy, to the guy who is operator as fuck. Thanks for all you do, keep it up bro. Be easy!
Not enough F bombs. Turn in your operator card.
Hey bro. I hav also recently switched to the ak47. I went with the Arsenal 107fr.
I understand what you mean about the little things that changed my mind. I'm not left handed but I am left eye dominant and right handed. For this reason I shoot my rifles left handed. The ak platform works better for me on this..... Great vid. You helped me in making this decision. -terry
These are both great weapons. I don't want to be in front of either one while it's doing it's thing.
Im pretty sure the pmag gen 3 doesnt need to be downloaded
I like both the Ar, an the Ak. I ts a preference that's all. However when bullets are flying an people are dying you grab for what you can reach. Be tactical smart have both that's all. live my Brother's at Arms!
Can you say "fuck" more in your next video?
TractorMan104 fuck you
AregularGuy Thats fucking American. Don't let up. Fuck these dudes.
AregularGuy i cant believe you fucking said that to that fucking guy and his fucking comment! what teh fuck were you fucking thinking?
I was thinking..... fuck you lol
hahahahahaha
Why everybody hatin on the way this guy talk? The man just keeping it real. Talking about AKs and ARs lmao. Sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Got my vote..
I've spoken to Nam vets who tossed their M16's and ran AK's in all their tours.
The first m16s were garbage.
Now fast forward to 2017, a time when you can build a complete 16in chrome lined, cold hammer forged, M4 clone for half the price of an AK variant rifle and the choice becomes more clear for those looking for maximum functionality per dollar spent. AK have become Hipster cool, but going with the Lego platform gives you access to loads of gov surplus gear designed around the AR15, as well as plentiful new manufacture milspec metal magazines, limitless accessory mounting options, better optics platform, and the ability to build an MOA SPR on you kitchen table using basic hand tools and a $20 AR combo wrench.. The choice is clear for non Gucci types.
rainmechanic "ak have become hipster cool" can't be anymore right
If yer a yank that is.
lmao! AR is still Gucci, it was as hip as the hippies and it can be set up retro-like. that being said AK people these days seem to be the types that live in squalor yet have more jordans than me.
It's 2019 and we only have centurys, US made garbage, custom/independant work pieces, and the occasional import sporter. It is stupid to get an AK anymore, and that is coming from a die hard AK fan. AR's are standard and mass produced in our own country, and that is the big reason that they are practically superior in terms of parts, ammo, and mags. AK can still be viable, but if a part breaks, you are either lucky that a local store has them, or you buy online. The overwelming majority of stores carry ARs and parts, and not carry AKs other than the occasional Century... which is usually a RAS47... and we all know Robski's opinion on that.
mak 90. the best ak rifle of all time. you're like the only guy i see on youtube running one. That is freaking awesome. I'm so sick of this non stop arsenal rules the world bullshit.
+fastandfun M Well since you can't get a new milled chinese variant anymore I guess arsenal does beat it in that category.
any experience with ddi, if so how would you rate all 3
MAK 90 wins all day long, the chinese pre ban and post ban guns are the closest thing to a mil spec ak that we have in the states. And when i say closest i mean they are. The only guns that compare in the same league would would be original russian type 3s, tula akms and 74s. Sure ither countries have milspec aks but we dont have them, arsenals that we het here are not built like the chinese guns and neither are even saigas and veprs. All them are great guns but their not going to last lifetimes like the chinese guns. Theres 3rd world pirates and small militias still still running type 2s, 3s, and type 56s
Robbie Dean My Arsenal Co. SA-93 is up there with it
we talking modern AKs? the only time ive ever heard of or referred to an AK as inaccurate is with soviet-era 47's/M's. Never heard of a modern one being inaccurate compared to an AR.
HonorableAssassins they never were inaccurate. Generally it's the untrained person using it. Or some idiot that doesn't understand leaf sights
Backyard Boosters I never found the gas piston system to be inaccurate. It is all about the 4 Ps. Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. In this case that equates to practice.
HonorableAssassins AK-74 is more accurate than the 47.In the right hands.
Ak-m is ak47 modern.......
I'm surprised how well the info in the video holds up to this day. Of course, the myths are dying down, but the facts are still present.
I'm glad I found this video. I own an AR, but I chose to buy an SAM7SF instead of upgrade my AR (or flat out buy another AR). I was starting to get buyer's remorse, as I kept hearing about AK inaccuracy past 200 yards(I don't have a range to test this at myself currently). I like the AK. I was having nightmares about dropping my AR wrong and breaking the threads on the buffer tube. I like how solid the my AK is(not all are as solid as this Arsenal one). It does feel about twice as heavy, though.
I have never had to reduce my mag capacity to get a 30 round mag to fit effortlessly in my AR.
Same
I think that was a carryover mentality from the VN era 20 rd mag where it apparently was a problem.
One reason I like the AK slightly more (besides the caliber) is that the controls are easier to operate with winter gloves on. You could probably shoot it with mittens on.
thanks for being honest. You are a good guy. It comes down to personal preference
This is hands down the best video title on CZcams.
Good stuff... I always like hearing your opinions.
Hey there AregularGuy90 My name is Eddie I am a 50 year old Army Vet. Right down to it, I am an Ar guy and just recently had a little debate with someone about this topic however: Since I don't go buy the saying that older people are wiser I learned a little more about the AK watching your video. While I will always be an AR guy I must admit you are very well versed on both, and you are 100% right the debate is stupid. Originally my thoughts were that you were just some arrogant person spitting out crap, to that I was wrong. I have heard so many so called Operators, some of which you have interviewed just spit out shit about weapons they claim to know. Keep up the good work, I sure I can learn a lot from you.
Agree with your point about the charging handle. Pain in the ass.
Very well done. Organized and informative. As Pat Rogers likes to say, "The AR is more reliable than you think and the AK is more accurate than you think." Just got my first AK, which is a Saiga that was converted by a guy who really knows what he's doing. It was Cerakoated, I must confess :)
everyone gets one lol
I like hearing the perspective of a soldier. I tend to lean toward my AK. In fighting rifle courses at Tac Response the only rifles that were going down were AR's. However, this was mainly do to under lubrication. If guys have their shit squared away, everything will run and everything can fail
ive seen both go down really hard during those courses (but its usually idiots running the things anyway)... and when a competent, experienced dude gets behind it, it magically works lol
Why you gotta bag on the idiots? At least they are trying to learn. Gotta start somewhere, right?
its a term of endearment, kinda like when a good friend calls me I start the conversation with "whats up faaaggg"... not being malicious or anything.
Since you are leaning towards the AK,perhaps you could do a video or two on how to maintain, fix those damned canted sights,setting up the rifle etc,etc. As for the people who can't handle an f-bomb you're right let em take their butthurt asses elsewhere. Thanks for the work you do,I appreciate and value your opinion.
your ak is so heavy because of the milled reciever. stamped guns are lighter.
flashback5391 still heavier then most AR rifles though. My stamped gun naked is heavier then my AR. It's ok though, I do push-ups. 😂
The only reliable AR is on call of duty. That's the only indestructible AR. LOL. Im a firm believer you get what you pay for.
I have a WASR10 Underfolder. Don't laugh. It's had a couple thousand rounds through it of all kinds - brass, steel, plated, whatever, nothing stops it. Works first time, every time. 2.5-3 MOA accurate at 100 yards - more than good enough for what it is and what I use it for. I replaced the top cover with UTG's railed cover, and installed a red dot. I also replaced the wooden forearm with Tapco's polymer railed version, added a vertical grip, and it's incredibly compact, maneuverable and handy - ideal for home, school and office. Total investment=just under $500. I also own a Saiga .223 carbine. Same reliability (as sunrise), 2 MOA accurate (with a cheap $50 1x-6x scope) even with dirt cheap Russian ammo, and because I'm an old codger, set in a few of my ways, I like the traditional stock - it's kind of like a Mini14 that's been working out and got buff. Total investment=$400. Both of these weapons will outlast my grandkids, and maybe even our right to actually own them. My next modern sporting rifle? My 5th AR15, of course. Go figure. My preference? Whatever's on sale.
horselips The WASR has a good reputation now than the earlier models. I gave my early post ban wasr away. Regret it. It had canted sights, rough mag well machining, poor finish, but otherwise performs flawless. A gun company that makes Iraqi tabuks offered to improve it for me. Should have kept it. Oh well, bought an Atlantic Tula Kit build and it works great.
horselips no one laughs at wasrs anymore
I like both platforms. The AK platform is amazing and the AR is fantastic. At that point I just mainly go off of handling, and I like racking the bolt on the AK/SKS. That feeling is fantastic.
If you think the AK is inaccurate you’ve obviously never heard of Rob Ski, check out AK operators union and be prepared to be corrected js.
Great video dude, very well thought out and presented arguments on both weapons.
BTW what t-shirt are you wearing, looks cool from the top part that we can see...what does the rest of the shirt say ???
will be doing a vid, lots of people have been asking
The people who use the whole 'well I put my gun into liquid nitrogen and covered it in tar and mud and slammed it against a rock 100 times.' your average soldier's rifle is not going to be going through the hell some CZcamsrs and shit will put the weapon in question through.
Good video. It mad too much sense!! Both weapon systems are battle proven designs that have their own strengths an weaknesses. I own both, but lean towards the AR because it's what I use on patrol everyday, so I qualify and shoot more with it! If my department sanctioned AKs for patrol rifles I would strongly consider it.
You have what has become my favorite channel, a real honest opinion is very hard to find on the whole inter-web.
When you find 1 youd better appreciate it lol...
Any opinion on CZcams or reddit anywhere else that says ANYTHING FUNCTIONS FLAWLESSLY and they havent ran 5000 rds MINIMUM...
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️
If you only have ONE... either an AR or an AK... you're doing something wrong.
I'm a righty and know my AK 's, fact is I only use AK's. I feel more at home on them....
I personally prefer an AK-47 over ARs. the look of the AK just pulls me in, especially in video games.
+Aregularguy thanks for all the videos man, I am actually getting both tomorrow. Bushmaster AR And a Century AK... Can't pass up the price honestly.. AR has the ACOG on it and the AK has the Magpul furniture and $2500, to me, I was all over it lol. Not to mention the videos on the magazine fed SKS you made actually made me test the gun under pressure and after I defended it I had so many malfunctions and stovepipes, I actually took all mods off and bought the wooden originals for it.. DO NOT USE A MAGAZINE FED SKS folks it will cause you to die in a combat situation... Thanks for all the advice, although critical at some points, but ya know, that is what's needed. Thanks again my friend. Bless you brother.
Found the Czech small arms vz-58 sporter to fit my needs, weight is comparable to an AR platform at 6.7 lbs and I enjoy shooting cheap while practicing so 7.62 steel case or corrosive surplus if I have the time to clean the gun thoroughly right after works well for me. It's also a more "accurate" gun than the ak in general and completely different internally. Can highly recommend, these Czechs know what they're doing.
The last minute and a half says it all. I smell hate mail Monday making a triumphant return.
Honestly dude, I have all but seen legit hatemail fall completely off the face of the earth.
regular guy what bolt handle upgrade is that on your AK?
I enjoyed the video, and thanks for your thoughts. Just some constructive criticism, no need to cuss so much. I actually dont mind it at all, just comes across as nails on a chalkboard. Not natural, like youre really forcing it. Like I said, I dont mind cussing at all, just doesnt seem to fit you. Enjoyed the video. Im not on the AK bandwagon yet, but know that days comin. Gotta grab some other more useful stuff first (G17) for a fighting pistol.
Good points. It's really a preference thing. The no hold open on last round for AKs thing bugs me more than the 28 round AR thing.
and id rather take the extra two rounds, to each his own lol
go lefties!
Left handed and use my left eye with long guns but on handguns its the opposite. Don't know why it just feels right. Not gonna change.
Swearing constantly diminishes this vid as well as compromises your credibility.
Luckily I live in pre-hillary america and i have both. The ak is not inaccurate piece of sh*t and the AR in not a malfunction waiting to happen jam-o-matic 3000. If i had to chose 1 and only 1 it would be an AR . Not because it's lighter or because its slightly more accurate and not because its more available. I would choose it because when sh*t breaks as any machine or tool will do I can fix it with basic tools + armor wrench and be done with it. no having to sand file or press out parts with a 20 ton press. yes an ak will last longer without needing a fix but when it happens its 10x harder and takes longer to fix it
I don't like bringing this up, but you mentioned that the AR you were using was your AR pistol. Why are you shouldering it? That is a reason for ATF to fuck with you. Just sayin'.
check the date the video was released
+Confederate Son thats not a legit law
Richard Marks It might not be legit, but tell that to the ATF after they arrest you for shouldering a AK or AR pistol. The laws have to be changed through the system and we are winning, but we have to obey laws until they are changed by the people who are really in charge (the citizens of the United States).
again, check the date of the video
check....... the date....... of the video
can you give an example of a hard failure on an ak? I would imagine it would be easier to clear an ak than an ar because you can take the dust cover off and take the whole assembly out.
Gen Scinmore having had to (and watching other people) kickstart an AK because it had a problem (although rare) leads me to this conclusion.
that could very well be an ammo problem with overpressure. or a low quality ak. you didn't exactly answer the question directly; what specifically went wrong?
stuck casings, or badly extracted casings lead to this problem, yes it was because something got worn out on the gun, no it was an ammo issue, (its usually wolf that gets used in these guns but all of it was steel cased) and no it wasn't quality of gun. the last three times I saw it happen was to my Norinco MAK 90, an arsenal slr107cr, and a rifle dynamics 74. this rarely happens like I said, but when it happens its usually because something is worn out, or its a complete fluke... funky shit happens to guns when you run them hard.
I think the problem isn't that someone is deciding between an AR or AK. They probably already own one of the platform and talk about how great it is and all that. I think people probably already set their minds on one of the platform and not so much because one is better than the other.
You have very good and justified opinions but only one major question came to my head and id like to hear is that what malfunctions you have experienced with ak platforms.
I served in finnish defence forces as a gunsmith and got familiar with the biggest breaking points of ak's which went from feeding issues that were caused by mag realese to gas piston which broke from the end of bolt carrier (i actually took a picture from that since i found it so hilarious).
But all those issues had one same fact behind them that the firearm was up to 40 years old an had been constantly in use. BY CONSCRIPTS. And the reason i said that is because they did not get treated very well :D
Most common reason to reject a rifle in checkup was that the end of the barrell was so scorched with a cleaning rod that bullet started tumbling immediately because rifling was ruined.
Im now using russian saiga m3 in range with 0 issues to this date and feeling pretty confident that there will not be any in near future either
Nice vid. Both work. Whichever one works best for you, use.
I really hate gun snobbery. It is so childish.
I agree. Both are quality weapons. I would grab either one to go to battle. All guns should be well maintained and trained on. If you do that, you minimize problems and know what to do when you have one.
+The Tokinjoo Luckily, like 97% of the population, you won't have "to go to battle". But props for trying to sound enlightened.
+William S btw you know nothing about me. You just assume I never served.
I went with an AK simply because ammo prices are more stable.
Not bad not bad at all thanks for putting boot to ass for all of us 1 thing I would add as to why I like the AK more is the weight of the round being a good thing
12:53 What about bee malfunction
Pan Jacek hahahahahahahahahahah! It clearly is bot out of the question. Poor bee. Wrong place wrong time.
I am getting my first AK. Which would be better by that I mean if it was you, which would you choose for your self?
Century C39v2
Zestava O-pap M70
Thanks for what you do. Your channel is entertaining and very helpful. I miss hate mail Mondays.
ajfam871 the c39v2
"if you can see it, you can kill the shit out of it." I appreciate the vids. I wasn't able to watch your stuff a year or so ago or whenever it was I found you, but I do see the wisdom in it now. Also - the only experience I have with tapco is in AK mags, which ironically run fine until you put 30 rounds in them and then they don't work - 28.
7 years later and like you, I am still sipping on that ak sauce. lol
Very cool!
Late to the party, but damn that’s a giraffe neck!
The modern AR15 is very reliable I would say even more then an AK47
Gi Joe good ak is more reliable.
Used Hk416 for a year and I didn't have a single malfunction, I only noticed one problem with it. If you're out in the snow and it's very cold outside -30c and the 2nd mag you put in(if there is any snow on it) might get stuck due to ice
The joke I always like to make is AK Guys always try to make their guns look like AR's. I never see anybody trying to make an AR look like an AK. That being said I own and use both.
Due to my job, I carry what I train with at work for personal carry. If I was issued a Hi-Point handgun, I would own one because of the countless rounds that I get to train with for duty carry ( I'm not a cop). I carry what I've trained with during my career, AR's and Glocks. If we went to AK's tomorrow, I'd get proficient with it and then own one for personal use. I believe in carrying what you train with. I find it pointless to go get an AK or a 1911 because of the little to no training that I've had and it wouldn't be cost effective whatsoever. I work with guys that buy X because of the cool factor. Some do train on other weapons outside of work for hobby and are proficient with them. That's just not me I guess. Keep up the videos young man. Good job.
Great analysis and comparison between the AR platform and the AK platform.
Yeah!! I hate how some people toss and throw their guns and then say their garbage because it broke lol it's not a tank.
Personal preference
Right on brother!! Keep up the great work and thanks for the service you provide for the United States of America.
What Lower hand guard do you have set up on this AK? Really love the hand guard especially because of the longer picanny rails it has
I agree with most of what you are saying but....to argue that an ak reload is faster than a ar reload is just flat asinine. button, insert mag, button is plain faster than sweep out mag, rock in mag, run bolt.
i loves that he calls tapco and promag shit, i second that
This is what I have found to be true. When the shit goes down. The 1st gun I can grab is the best. Worked for me in Nam. It should work for you.
semper fi steve
Musashi once said "a true warrior should not have a favourite weapon" he didn't need his personal sword to kill just a sword in general.
Mushashi called it the Art of Swordlessness
actually worked like shit in nam, just saying
can you provide the info for the custom stock? I have a Century C39 hate the hardware!
The truth is . Who cares there both fine. Use what you like . Use what your buddies use.
Use what you have AMMO for
I own both, but I live in an area with lots of open terrain, so I prefer a Ruger SR762 as my go to weapon. What do you think of AR10 platforms?
The myths in context
AR'S are not as reliable as AK'S.
AK'S are very in accurate (like any weapon) with full Auto and the trigger held down. more so then the M4/M16 they are being compared to because of the larger caliber.
Why do people even argue this? It's all based on personal preference
I could be crazy but on my AR i can load 30 on my closed bolt, and my mag release drops the mag without my hand having to even touch the mag . . .
You have to insert on an open bolt or slam it into the mag well so it catches
Just slam the bitch in. Usually it's the first mag in anyways
The AK preforms best inside its effective range of 350m (type 1-AKM) to 500m (Ak 107 or other modern rendition) the AR-15 (M16-a1, Colt model 601, XM117E2) Excels v.s. the AK in the long range Dept. especially when talking the 7.62 guns.
have you seen the +6 base plates for the ar mag? Would installing that on your mag solve the 28 round problem? or would it not make a deference?
As a fellow lefty I also agree that I find the AK a little easier and faster to operate. That said if I have an ambi charging handle, mag release and safety on an AR it's not a big difference at all. I have found though my WASR 10 so far through 1100 rounds I've only had 4 malfunctions and 2 of them were 100% due to a gen 2 Pmag. All that said my PSA mid-length freedom series rifle I've got about 800 rounds through and only had 4 or 5 malfunctions in that rifle. All in all I pretty much agree with everything you're saying but I don't have anywhere near the experience you do.
I do miss my ddm4v1 but I love my sl-104 w triangle stock and zenitco furniture . Yea it's heavier but it eats steel cased all day and so much easier to clean . Being former 11b i clean my ak variant rifles just as much as my m4 and my ar. The 5.45 is almost as flat shooting and is so much cheaper and fun to shoot, plus an zenitco Alfa clone ak is sexy
Where did you get that single point sling adaptor with the buckle on your AK? Been trying to figure out how to attach a sling to mine. I was thinking about using para cord to fix a small D ring or something until I came across this video.

Bgt F Thanks.
After listening to your synopsis of the two rifles, I was surprised to hear you're slightly in favor of the AK...The whole video, I thought you were leaning toward the AR... I personally prefer the AR15.
im very fond of the AR, ive been shooting them since I was as young as I look.... its so hard wired into my brain that its literally impossible to fuck one up for me. and still my ak game is just a little bit better.... It just agrees a bit better with me I suppose.
***** wtf yer over here too? what u carry?
Earl Turner I've got all kinds of "liberty tools"... My favorite is a Stag Arms AR15.
***** i got one of those new century milled aks. but im talkin pistols. u see yeagers vid "all guns shoud be glocks"?
Earl Turner I've heard nothing but good reviews on Glocks... I don't own one though... I've got a Springfield 1911 compact... Bought it brand new in 1992, and it's barely got 300 rounds fired from it... Sits in the nightstand by my bed... LOADED of course : )
