Hey everyone! I am looking to purchase my first rifle and was looking for some advice on which to buy. M4 Carbine, AR-15, or an AK-47. I have a basic understanding of these weapons, but what I'm hoping to get from you guys is which one you prefer and why!
Thanks ahead of time!

Which ever one tickles your pickle the most. Go to /arg/ or /akg/

AR. I'm not a famine starved Russian so the relatively small area of butt on an AK makes them pretty uncomfortable to use. If you're looking for reasons to buy one, steel case .223/5.56 is as cheap as if not cheaper than steel case 7.62x39. Mags are more plentiful and generally cost less. If you want to use optics AR is the way to go. You can mount optics on AKs, but you aren't going to get a cheek weld without a strap on riser. If possible, go shoot both and figure out which one you prefer.
The age old question. Go to a range with rentals and feel them both for yourself, no amount of shit and memes we can split at you will ever be as good as your own preference based on what you yourself have done. Also inb4 this thread turns into /akg/ vs. /arg/
Surprised a FAL fanboy hasn't shown up yet.
.22 cricket. Trust me

The M4 Carbine is a select fire carbine, the AK-47 literally does not exist. Looks like you'll have to go with the AR-15.

Stop buying dime a dozen garbage incentivizing industry stagnation. Buy an AR18 derivative, buy a fucking keltec shitpup, but stop buying muh ayy arr ayy kay iPhone-tier unimaginative cancer.

>for one rifle to exist there are others that must die.
>you are only capable of purchasing one firearm ever.

Palmetto State Armory. They were just having a sale their PA10 parts aswell, cost about $500 for a basic one.

First of all ak47s are quite rare and expensive in the US because they've been replaced by other models of AK and because they're select-fire.
Second of all the M4 is something you can't get. It's also select fire and currently only issued to the military.
You can build a knockoff, semi-auto only version of an AR15 that looks just like it if that's your thing. Check Palmetto State Armory and buy a stripped lower and a parts kit.

PSA and Classic both have $400 rifles.
