I'll get one sooner or later, but I don't think I'll go out of my way and pay high dollar.... Favorite shooter is a AK anyways... good info here, learned what I was looking to learn...

Looks waaaaay too long unless your knuckles drag the ground. --- SAWMAN
I have AKs and switching to the AR system is motivated by the greater versatility of the system relative to it being modular and anyone can gunsmith them easily relative to switch barrels and such. The AK is a harder system to fix if there is something wrong with it from the factory and that is the case for many usa made AKs. My AKs were made in foreign arsenals and are good to go. But they are no longer $200-300. They will not easily shoot real tight groups. But I have a lot of AK ammo on hand and I happen to like the round, so the AR in that same chambering makes sense. But you have to work a bit to get it to run right. If you use 5.56 or 300 blk out things will be easier. I can put a functional AR together for less than 500 and then one needs to add the optics. There are no new AKs out there for $500 that I would trust. Plus if you are scrounger one can get a lower with no official connection to you.
You get what you pay for if you deal wisely. Just because you pay a lot does not mean you will be happy. There is a balance between something that will not function because it is just too cheap and making the best deal.Money is always something to reason into the thought process, but I am in the frame if mind, that you get what you pay for. In Guns, Homes,Cars, what ever. Buy smart, buy quality and reliability, buy once. Why switch from AK's to the AR's? I have both and will keep both. I enjoy both, and they all work.....
agree, I've on that form for a while, don't post much, but alot of knowledge there.....You get what you pay for if you deal wisely. Just because you pay a lot does not mean you will be happy.

For the AKs the AK operators Union is a good source for reviews on the durability of the various AKs. Strange I have not noticed them recently on youtube.
I like being as stock and ambidextrous as possible. I have not been in the AR game long enough to see the need for a side charger.I like those side chargers from the place frank got his. Tempted big time.
