I do not want to start any arguments as to which is better ar's or ak's. I'm only talking about looks.They both look formidable. However,I hardly see any ak's at my public range but when one shows up everybody notices. Being well worn mine looks like it just came off the battlefield. Also because it has an underfolder stock(which doesn't work. It's bolted in place) it seems to stand out a little more. Before I got it and when I was at the range there were a lot of ar style weapons being shot. Seemed like everybody had one. Not so the ak. Now I'm just talking about my movie. Your movie may be different. LOL.
