    I have a few AKs, all of them old between 1970 and 1989. There's something cool about how they shoot, all that wood and steel smells and feels really cool. What's awesome about being a red state Constitutional carry resident is that I get to enjoy lots of different weapons between my paltry collection and those of my brother and friends. Feel people are limiting themselves being all AK or all AR all the time, they are both really cool in their own ways. Sort of like going to a buffet at the Bellagio and only eating one thing.

    The ak-102 seems like a pretty interesting option, especially where I'm at with winters where it can rain one day and absolutely freeze the next. The biggest question for me is how well it runs different ammo. Hopefully you will talk more about it in the future?

      From reliability perspective civilian ak-102 runs perfectly on all but subsonic commercialy avaliabe ammo. But accuracy can vary significantly depending on specific type.
      5.56 Saiga's are quite popular in Russia as a hunting carbine due to vide selection of ammo

      I had one(sold it because mags were too difficult to find at the time) and it run great. One time I had some faulty Fiocchi rounds that were overpressured and jammed my NEA, I ended up shooting all the rounds with the AK because it got just one jam(two hits at the handle and it was good to go, while the AR15 was a pain in the ass). It wasn't a parts kit but an original Izhmash(I'm not in the US) so that may change for you

    9 hole reviews recently did an AK accuracy with a Bulgarian 74 with irons and it performed how we all assume AK’s do. However, after they fitted all the zenitco furniture and placed optics on it (I think it was a red dot with a 3x magnifier) it actually preformed far better than an AR-15 with the same modifications. They thought that maybe it was just the optics but also because of how tight the fitment is on the zenitco lower handguard, they think it’s possible that it messed with the harmonics of the barrel which in turn made it that much more accurate. If that’s true, that’s insanely cool

      @fakecubed 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      They're both fine. The AR is better for Americans simply because of better parts and ammo availability, especially if SHTF and you're scavenging police armories after all the police have turned into zombies or whatever. In a Red Dawn situation, you're probably better off with AKs and scavenging dead commies after you hit their supply lines. But between the two, I expect literal zombies over paratrooper commies, so the AR wins out.
      It's simply early mover advantage. The AR was here first, and dominated the market. In other places, with other markets, the AK may be the better choice. I don't have a problem with anyone anywhere buying guns of the opposite type, against local market forces, just as long as you acknowledge and prepare for the downsides of your choice being less popular. And if you own both, even better.
      One thing I'll add, which is no small point under a Democrat regime or other anti-gun government somewhere: AK 80% lowers are not that easy to turn into actual guns. Unless something has changed, AR lowers are just so much easier to covertly (and legally) proliferate than AKs. If you want to own guns you don't want potential confiscators knowing about, the AR is just the best choice, hands down. Heck, there's a machine you can buy that'll turn a solid block of aluminum (a 0% lower) into a finished AR lower now automatically for you in about 3 hours. We've had automation for finishing 80% lowers for years. AKs, from what I understand, require a lot of special tools.

You can throw this thing in a swamp for 20 years, pull it out and it will still somehow vomit bullets. I met 14yr old boys in the bush herding cattle with nothing but a pair of flip flops and an AK slung arounf their body with a shoe string. The impact this weapon has had on the world is unrivaled compared to any other rifle out there. The reputation it has makes it the GOAT in my opinion.

    I got the 5.45 bug in 2020 when everytime I'd go into my local gun shops they had stacks of 5.45x39 that never decreased and the price per round was 0.21. I missed shooting my AKM and ARs 2x a week because my ammo stock was getting low while replacement stock was 3x in value. That's how I ended up with my 74 and 6k rnds of 5.45 lmao. As far as I know I'm the only person in this county that has a 5.45 chambered weapon or atleast shoots one regularly enough to be only one to buy 5.45 here. My local shops are still getting in 5.45 at half the cost of 5.56 so I've been getting a ton of time behind it.

Early adopted to the Kreb's retaining plate, the Tromix charging handle, the Kreb's enhanced safety and my two rifles even feature the Kreb's 105 block they used to make, etc. Been running it for a long time now and they're just incredible rifles. At the time I was dumb enough to spend $300 for proper Russian folding stocks (shortly before they flooded the market). I admit I think the 12.5" AK's are - as you said - basically the perfect short range carbine option. Fold the stock, small package, no real ballistic penalty, etc. Great guns.

      You're not alone. There was a kind of back-fire when various Spetsnaz units were instructed to move away from 7.62x39, but they kept several guns in each unit. While I own and run 5.45, the 7.62 is arguably a better cartridge in a bunch of instances. For me, as a slender fellow, I just want to carry more ammo. The 7.62x39 is a great round.
