There are updated versions of AKs, or their outright successors, but don't think they are available in US.


Yes. But can you re barrel them with a hammer and a nail?

By time AK break, war with Capitalism dogs is over! - Mikhail Kalashnikov (probably)

You’re right Heavies, the AK is not the Lego gun the AR is.  You need more specialized machines to make and repair one properly, you can’t just drop another upper on it.  Though if people are curious they should check out the stuff that comes out of the Khyber Pass.  There some ingenious people working there without much in the way of industry.

In the end, people should get what they want and not let dogmatic advice by friends or sales people sway them.

In a SHTF situation lots can happen besides shooting out the barrel.   It could get bent, could get clogged with mud then accidentally ringed by firing a shot with the barrel obstruction,  parts could get damaged, etc.

AR can be rigged to continue working, AK gets tossed, and hope you can find another.

I was kidding.

But seriously (to clarify), AR is my first choice. An AK wouldn’t even be my second choice.  But, I still enjoy owning and shooting them.

Not long after I got my first AR I was wanting an Arsenal AK. I’d actually be after an SKS that takes AK mags of the prices weren’t the ridiculous levels they are in the last 10 years or so.

I don't think there's any doubt the AR-15 is better suited for 3-Gunning.  Lighter, easier to aim -- especially follow-up shots due to lower recoil --, lighter & smaller loaded mags that are easier to carry & handle, overall ergonomics, etc.

Having said that, it's not a given that the AK-47 isn't better suited to other applications.

In times of struggle, you pretty much take whichever you can get your hands on and have the ammo to feed.

That is an excellent point Flapp. I recall female soldier Jessica Lynch who was captured by the Iraqi's. She could not fire a shot since her weapon was jammed. Maybe she would have done better if she had an AK. We will probably not know if it would have prevented her capture or not. At least she would have something to defend herself with.

I remember a contractor told me of his adventures in the middle east sand box. To please his bosses he and his crew would always carry an M4. On the floor of the vehicles and out of plain sight would be fully loaded ak's and spare ak mags.
