As I mentioned on the thread, I spent a year's project working on an accurate AK with limited success. One thing that I felt that I could have done to improve the project was to rework the trigger better. I did a trigger job on it, but it was manual starting with a Tapco G2 Trigger. I feel that a better trigger would have shown improvements.
So here is the two-part question that I have for you guys to ponder...
The basic generalizations regarding ARs and AKs are that:
AR's are accurate but not reliable
AK's are reliable but not accurate.
From my experience, the truth on each of the above is not as extreme as we see. ARs are reasonably reliable and are accurate. AKs are reasonably accurate and are reliable.
But neither steal the strengh of the other.
So...
Here it goes:
1.) If you were to attempt to build a significantly more reliable and maintance forgiving AR, what would you do?
2. If you were to attempt to build a significantly more accurate and consistent AK, what would you do?
Please disclose if you think that any steps that you'd take may affect either the accuracy or the reliability of each platform respectively.
For instance...
One may say that a piston-driven AR would enhance its reliabilty. Some have asserted that this adversely affects its accuracy. Others say that they haven't seen a difference.
Or...
One may say add a Red Star Adjustable Trigger to an AK. Would this affect the AK's reliablilty? I don't know.
You see where I am going with this.
Please add your ideas or theories, and I'll add mine.
