There is not a single practical reason.

>>33621621
I have 3 ARs but AK is my favorite. Buy the AK, Anon.

give in

We're not facing any gun bans or extra sanctions right now (Tillerson and Lavrov just confirmed no new sanctions), so the market for AKs will at worst stay the same and hopefully get better. Buy what you want, it's a free country.

>>33621681
Aesthetics? All I can think of. Maybe cost of ammo

>>33621621
Why not get both?

>>33621687
The ar does better in mud

If you want an AK, you want an AK. ARs are functional as hell for the price, but you want what you want.

Are you a commie ? Because I'm not a commie. Are you, though ?

cyka

AR's are more practical in just about every facet.

Also don't fall for the ULTRA RELIABLE RUN OVER WITH TANK meme. Modern AK productions have much tighter tolerances than slav shit manufactured in the 40's

>>33621621
buy a vz2008 its the cheapest AK variant you can get even cheaper than a AR

>>33621749
Stay mad faggot.

>>33621758
Except it's not an ak variant.

You don't need practical if you want it but

Guaranteed replies, 6/10.

>>33621870
The only thing the two have in common is that they both fire 7.62x39 literally nothing else is interchangeable.

Might as well call an SKS an AK variant.

I'm so retarded. I wish I was like you and knew it's not an akm, that uses different mags, different mechanics, oh wait...Fuck sorry, you're retarded.

>>33621940
my ruger 10-22 is an AR variant

>>33621940
is every russian rifle an ak variant to you?

>>33621940
Dude now your bait is too obvious.

>>33621710

My nigga

>>33621952
no because its a ruger
fucking christ its like k dosent no anything about guns might as well call it pol its close enough as it is

>>33621975
A 10/22 is an ar15 you retard. Stoner got all his ideas from bill Ruger.

>>33621621
Buy the AK faggot.

Pros:
>cheaper ammo
>more satisfying to shoot
>less maintenance, more reliable
>holds value better, most will appreciate

Cons:
>slightly less accurate than AR in autistic benchrest comparisons that don't actually matter
>fewer tactical Lego modifications available to overpay for
>more likely to fail if you intentionally cover it in mud when the bolts are closed

>>33621993
I dont care if some stoner got ideas from anyone all they do is smoke reefer all day its not a AR brand its a ruger brand so its not a AR variant its a ruger variant

where do I find a reasonably priced 5.45 ak?
I just like Russian built optics. the unique take on how an optic should work really makes me rigid.

>>33622047
no, his response is aktushully pretty accurate. if you take shovelfuls of slop and glorp it on both side of an ak it will fail.

I've shot WASR, arsenal, vepr, and Saiga, and I prefer my D Technik vz-58 over them all. It's superior in every aspect except for the trigger.

It's lighter, less recoil, higher rate of fire for auto or bumping, and more reliable because of no dust cover for casings to get caught in. Just make sure you don't get a century shit vz.

>>33622281
to bad it's a snowflake gun and will never be chambered in glorious 5,45

It's like... your money man... Get a decent AK and build it your way.

Just don't be faggot who thinks because the AK doesn't need that much maintenance that you don't take care of it.

If I wanted to shoot armor piercing .22, I'd shoot an AR.

>glorious
5.45 is a meme caliber that will go out of service in the next 7 years, mark my words.

>>33622517
So so will 5.56?

>>33622532
not true, 5.56 is the perfect intermediate cartridge. Even Russia has started using AKs in 5.56 and even some AR type rifles.

>>33622549
I love the AR and 5.56 too, but russia is most certainly not using it.

>>33621754
>Tolerances
>clearances
Tolerance refers to tolerance of manufacturing errors
Low tolerances aren't beneficial for anything

Learn the difference you faggot

>>33622047
If you cover it in mud it will jam but the AK was designed to be easily taken apart. Any Soviet era teenager could take one apart, they'd even compete for fun. Anyways the AK could be taken apart easily and the cleaning kit is located in the stock making it all that much easier to fix your gun.

>>33622549
wtf are you smoking 7n22 shits all over 5.56 including m885a1, russian will never adopt a inferior round

>>33622631
mud test was a biased shitshow

>>33622760
nah m855a1 beats it

>>33622810
no it does not

>57gr at 3100 fps

5.45 naturally has better b.c as well

Absolutely not, spend away OP!

Have you seen a single gel test of 7n22?

>>33622774
>i-it's biased
just accept that it failed, you look ridiculous coming up with some conspiracy theory that it was all set up

>>33621621
AR: ammo availability, parts proliferation, ease of maintenance, better reliability, easier to shoot, safer controls,

I like AK but are confuse

Then this just means to not buy cheap shit, if it had any validity to it, which it does not since it has a bias towards the HK which this is trying to sell.
