Aesthetically pleasing to some and a false sense of reliability being superior.
Oh they are easier to clean I hear.

I think he means the ease of dropping in a new upper reciever and pretending it's a sniper rifle.

>Inb4 I can just buy an independant 7.62 bolt action rifle for less than the modular conversion costs

Why would you want a forward assist on a rifle with a reciprocating charging handle?

>>29727562
The bolt release isn't needed either.

>>29727534
>>shitty charging handle
Nigger charging handles are just pieces of metal sticking out. As long as one's there it's a good one.

Serious replay to a bait thread:
they are fun
they look nice
they don't need gallons of oil

I've always been about making my machines more simple- I refuse to buy a new car because I wouldn't be able to break it down to nothing in my garage with a socket wrench like my old dead simple truck. If I don't need something, I consider it dead weight and a liability. I don't look down on ARs, they just aren't my preference

>Get AK model that has bolt hold open

>Or just add mags with bolt hold open feature

>Get the safety lever with bolt catch.

>Don't need to hammer forward assist after you release bolt.

Seconded.

But AR's are just as cheap, if not cheaper.

No.

and the AK's aren't?

lax it's just an ad for Gruppa 99 which is a Russian gear company.

>>29727779
No, because the design would have been measured in metric (cm/mm)

>>29727760
When talking about AKs, people like to say "tolerances" when 95% of the time the word they are looking for is "clearances."

/k/ on the whole has the faggest poorfag shit tastes in guns
>just saying

>>29727862
I'm pretty sure those were my exact words a month or two ago.

But you are correct.

Honestly the argument of "cheaper than ARs" isn't even valid anymore. An AR can be had for less than $500, but WASRs are $600+


i like AKs and ARs equally, i have no preference.

>>29727534
>AR-15s are more expensive than AKs
good one op, I'm glad you have kept up with the world in the last 5 years

I really wish there would be a way to enjoy multiple things at once...

Heck even better maybe you could own more than one medium-range rifle at a time and then you wouldn't have to pick one to love and one to hate, you could appreciate each for their intrinsic strengths or features that you enjoy.

A man can dream...

>tfw yugoslavia was making an AK that had a barrel that was threaded in instead of pressed, a bolt hold open device, and rear peep sight
>the development folded into the M70 dev team and the only thing kept was the receiver
WHY GOD

>>29728459
On the civilian market maybe. But it's definately not 600 bucks a piece if you order a million of them for an army.

>>29727562
>>shitty charging handle
It's on the wrong side.

>>29727534
Why don't mods delete these threads and ban the posters?

Yeah I think the AK is trash but people can spend their money on whatever they want so fuck what anyone else thinks.

Fuck you op

And fuck you mods.

>>29728769
>people can spebd their money on whatever they want to
>ban these threads
Not forcing anyone to not buy an ak you autist its a question

>>29728839
Is life hard for you, being retarded and all?

>>29728769
why don't they ban all tripfags? they're more cancerous than bait threads.

>>29728897
Yeah I mean tripfags totally start bait threads and threads about what anon they'd want to kill on a daily basis. Solid logic anon

>>29728897
>>29728769
I agree, ban both people starting these threads and tripfags.

>>29728603
I have the m70, was just shooting it today

>>29727534

>no forward assist

What is a bolt handle

>>29728897
>>29729183
Because some of us give info to people trying to join the air force in the /meg/ containment board and dont shitpost

On topic tho, AK-47 is super durable and better to field strip imo than an AR

AKs are weapons of war, OP not recreation sporting guns. They were designed to be procured efficiently so that it could be produced in significant numbers in war time. It's good enough for an infantryman innawarzone to do his job and that's all that mattered to the Soviets at the time.

Obviously it is not a marksman's rifle or bench queen.

>>29727652
>implying you have any clue what the term tolerance means.

>>29727652
>I'm a retard that doesn't know the difference between fit and tolerance

Proper AK's have very tight tolerances.
