[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2826573, member: 35089"] To me, the AR drawbacks are the .223 caliber, and the short stroke piston. Had they all been piston driven like the later developed AR18 and a larger caliber like 6.5, 6.8, or 7.62 nato (which would undoubtedly reduce the cost of those rounds)...it would be perfect. I think the AK is really strong where the AR is weak and vice versa...probably why you get a lot of one or the other types. I had a SCAR 17 which is to me the king of civilian battle rifles as of current. Ergonomics of the AR in 7.62 NATO. Piston driven and lighter than the AR10. Ended up selling it because I could literally have 4 AKs or ARs for the price of 1 SCAR. They just aren't worth it to me. Sorry for completely deviating from the thread topic. [/QUOTE]
