AK vs. AR

[DDMac]

Now that I voted AK, for all the previously stated sound reasons, I need to go get one.

RK0281, how much time do we have??? Six months same as cash a good idea?

I'll take the AR or SOCOM for end of the world.  While AK ammo is/might be cheaper at that time, .223 or .308 will probably be more readlily available.  Between the AR and SOCOM probably the SOCOM for power.

You may have a good point there  Desert Marine, .308 would also be better for larger game but for what you would pay for a SOCOM you could buy 2 AK's or 4 SKS's, Or one of either and more ammo

In terms of the mission requirement, I have to go with an AK. I have both in semi-auto and one AK-variant as a full auto. The Valmet will flat out rock when called upon! Someone brought up the M-14, which is a great second choice.

Ok, but for your reasons then I would go with the AR.  I see more ARs available and at that time, might even be at discount.  For ammo availablity a 30-06 would be a better choice except for no military type weapons readily available for it.  Every little store throughout the country has 30-06.  Marines of the 5th & 6th Marine Regiments were making up to 800 yd shots during WWI with Springfield 03A3s with iron sights.

Torture tests don't rule out either one as a good choice.
