Why not both? AR and AK.
I used to hate when people said that.
It is the best way to figure it out.
I'll be taking notes at the build
BR870 - Good luck & enjoy the moment.
Why not both? AR and AK.
I have fired 10's of thousands of 5.56 mostly out of a M4 (the worst part is picking up all that brass) as for as malfunctions they were slim to none, with the malfunction being double feeds. A double feed could take 5-10 minutes to correct now in combat I would bet it could be done very quickly with your adrenalin pumping if you had a leatherman if not you are SOL. Now I think this malfunction had a lot to do with mags though.
Now, I've only put about 100 rounds through an AK both FA and semi and had no issues with it and thought it was pretty accurate considering I didn't zero it. I did think it kicked a hell of a lot more than the AR though it kicks more than my .308 only because my .308 weighs almost 14lbs though.
Exactly I know a man who owns a harley and dirtbikesWhy not both? AR and AK.
It has been my experence that the reverse is true.
You do NOT rise to the occasion, Insted you default to the highest level of training you have MASTERED.
In war You throw it down and grab the AK from your dead enemySo if a driver of a HMV drives into a kill zone and has never been trained to drive past a certain speed.(When the LMTV came out you weren't allowed to drive past 45mph) He/She won't drive as fast as possible to get away as they had not been that highly trained? I would assume at some point instincts and common sense would kick in over training. What I meant is someone wouldn't be as carefull to remove the rounds from the rifle with bullets flying over their head. Whereas in a garrison environment you take your time and try not to cause any damage to yourself, others or the rifle.
Damned shame about .308 ammo being so expensive isn't it? I'd love to do an FAL build, but what's the point? I couldn't afford the ammo to test it. I love that gun.

Instead of "one" I mean "1".
Can't claim I misplaced a decimal point on "one" I could do ten for less than some guys have into there AR.
But no, really "1". And I'm totally convinced everyone here would talk me out of a 2nd one.
the price is pretty compelling - more so if you have to pass some out or ditch one in let's say the Harvey Canal.
How can anyone make just one? In the past two months I made three AKs. I have taught two others to make their own, and helped them do it. I have trouble sometimes slowing down long enough to refinish the metal and wood of my rifles.
