[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 3781055, member: 7898"] The only "maintenance" concern between the two is service life in differing conditions. If I have a good logistical chain I'm choosing an AR, I can swap a barrel after 20k rounds with hand tools. If I'm not sure I'll ever see a workbench again I'm taking my AK. Reliability in similar contexts, chances of parts breakage, etc. are all basically the same. I'd also have questions these days about 1911 syndrome with both platforms. A Russian AK is not the same as a Century Arms kit build. An overgassed PSA is not the same as a BCM or Knights AR. [/QUOTE]
