Accuracy.... AR the other 2 have to go to the AK. I have run a lot of cheap ammo through my 74 and it has never had a hiccup. My Grendel AR is accurate as I can shoot but she does not like to be a dirty girl..... High maintenance. :cool:

I was thinking Alaska over the Arkansas.
Like stated the AR does not care for being dirty.
I am happy with my AR's as far as accuracy sub MOA.
Never had an AK closest I came was an SKS it did not mind dirty accuracy was not up to snuff for me and I sold it to a buddy.

In a SHTF scenario and I could only choose one of the two it would have to be the AK. I love my AR's but high maintenance and in that scenario parts and cleaning supplies may not be readily available to properly maintain. AK load it shoot it drag it thru the mud, dirt or water and it is still gonna fire regardless.

I like both. With the amount of AR’s in circulation along with the ammo to feed them, I would probably choose it.
AK if I could have a quality one and was assured plenty of ammo being available.
All that being said, if I had to decide at this moment, AR all the way for me.

Me, AK enough said. There I said it.
Had a gas tube on a cheap arse AR blow up in me. Guess I could spend $ and get a factory name brand are like a Colt sp1 like they used in Vietnam and be good to go when shtf...
But, I'd need enough ammo made in USA, because import ammo may dry up and then make an AK a paperweight. Then again I don't see AR ammo drying up anytime soon. I'm torn.
