OK
This isn't the standard AK vs AR question thread we all love to chew the fat over. This is a personal question but one I know other may have wondered themselves. Suffice to say neither the Saiga section nor elsewhere has helped thus far.
The scenario is this: if you had to pick ONE of the above platforms for 5.56 which would you choose and why? I ask as I am seriously debating picking up ( or starting to hunt for) either a AR or an AK( in this particular case a Saiga .223 ).The thing is I need it to work no matter what and I haven't so much as shot an AR ( of any kind)in my life, hence the trepidation on buying one. I have shot many AKS and combloc weapons.I know them and I trust them not to fail when the shit hits.Not so much in the AR family. Sure I don't expect match grade accuracy with an AK but I never expected it. If I go for an AR I just don't know where to go, what to buy or whats good from whats junk. I can gather the cash for a better AR/AK if need be( with time) but as bad as this may sound I need it "idiot Proof". What do you, the seasoned gun nuts here have to say? Don't hold back and give me your honest opinions. should I stick with what I know or is the AR as good as the fans tout it to be? As always thanks for your thoughts.
