Not looking for a Ar vs AK thread. I am just wondering if anyone has gone the same route and why?
I had been an AR guy then progressed to the Sig556 and I am now an AK guy.
Here is my new Yugo Underfolder
The reason I did this was I became uneasy with the reliability of the AR from first hand experiences of a friends rifle that seemed to be an inherent design flaw of the AR platform.
I would get in on the AR vs AK threads on forums and preach the benefits of the AR but I always had this little voice in the back of my mind questioning the reliability of the AR.
So I got out of my AR and into a new Sig556 for the gas piston...
then I came to the realization that it was a glorified AK that took AR mags.
So I sold the 556 and bought an AK and my first actual case of ammo. I could never afford to buy a case of .223
After a rough beginning that Century took care of I am in the market for my third AK.
This was never really an option with the AR platform because of the price tag they bring. After going the AR route and ending up where I am, I believe I may have originally bought into the hype surrounding the AR.
I now have a rifle that I completely trust. It is so simple. It shares ammo with another popular rifle, the SKS.
It is an accurate as I am and destroys what ever I point it at.
Best of all I can actually afford to feed it with 7.62 being much cheaper right now.
Anyone else go this route?
