[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1803397, member: 2989"] I have both and while the AK is novel, I love shooting the AR more. I have both a DI and piston AR and both are just a pleasure to shoot. If you plan on just shooting static at a firing range or something to casually shoot with while walking around the farm, then either is fine. AR's are incredibly reliable these days, especially now with correct buffer weights, full auto M16 style BCG's, anti-tilt followers in mags and mid-length gas systems for 16" barrels. AK's that are well made are very accurate out to typical AR distances. The problems is that most people aren't accustomed to the 7.62x39 round with it's steep bullet drop and standard AK iron sights really suck. AK74's on the other hand are almost on par with AR's just due to the 5.45x39 round, which is similar to .223/5.56. Pick one and save up for the other while you enjoy the rifle you just bought. Most people end up getting both an AK and AR anyways. [/QUOTE]
