[QUOTE="Sanjuro82, post: 1802534, member: 14058"] Also don't let the morons convince you that the AK is inaccurate. These accuracy problems stem from idiots that are firing Century Arms WASR10s with crap surplus ammo and then comparing that group with their AR firing high quality or match ammo. If you get your self a high quality AK (Arsenal or one built by some other reputable builder) and shoot high quality ammo, it can and will hang with an AR. Will it out shoot an AR? No probably not, but the difference at 100-400 yards negligible. Anything past 400 yards and you should probably be using .308 or similar. Also the problems with ergonomics and lack of accessories is pretty much a thing of the past with the AK. All the major manufacturers now have all kinds of accessories or replacement parts to make your rifle fit you. Anything you can get for you AR you can now get an equivalent for you AK. My personally favorites are the Texas Weapons System Dog Leg Rail and the Midwest Industries hand guard rail. But for me the Ace in the Hole will always be the near perfect AK action (IMO). Reliability and simplicity at it's finest. While the AR is a great platform, it will always lose against the AK in that facet. For me that is and always will be the deciding factor and why I will always grab an AK over an AR when presented with the option. [/QUOTE]
