    Default AR-15 or AK-47?

    I am about to buy me a new gun. I want somethin that I can just go out and shoot and have fun with. The place I get my guns from has a nice AK-47 and 2 nice AR-15's. The AK-47 is around 400 and the AR-15's are 700 and the other around 850. The cheaper AR-15 is just smaller than the other one but they are both the same gun just different sizes. What yall think I should get?

    If you get an AK-47, make sure that you get a milled receiver. If the receiver is stamped, then pass on it and get the AR. If you get an AR, make sure that you get the "shorty" M4 style with a 14.5-16" barrel.

    I want a smaller gun. Somethin that I can just go out and shoot alot and have fun with. Right now I don't want to get a rifle. I will end up gettin my dads guns soon probably. 30-06, 35, .50 cal muzzleloader and a browning sweet 16 16 gauge.

    Right now I only have a .243 and a Mosin Nagant M44. I can't go out and shoot the Mosin Nagant to much cause I am a small guy and that gun kicks like hell and my shoulder gets sore after a while

    You should try to find a Steyr Aug. The germans used to use it for the army standard issue. I am not sure how much they are but I believe they fire the same round as an AK-47.

    the ak has a good fire power with range and not to mention if you're a good shot, some hellacious accuracy.
    but thats me...so take into consideration, fire rate, range, accuracy, and rounds per clip.




    or spend some money and get a M4 Carbine w/ silencer.

    yea that is what I was thinkin but I do love ak's.


    Duke- I am pretty sure that AK's shoot 7.62x39

    Chink- I consider myself a pretty good shot. Hell I sighted my .243 in pretty good and on my first shot I shot some thread from 50 yards away.

    I only paid 80. They are pretty cheap cause they are surplus guns and there are so many of them. It was made in 1944 and all the serial numbers on it match except for the buttplate piece. It shoots really good too, you couldn't tell it was that old by shootin it or lookin at it. I got it and cleaned it up really good and take good care of it now. Every time I go out and shoot I always take it apart and clean it afterwards.

    No difference. They don't rate them on "power" levels like that.

    i have 3 of each gun. I use a ar15 mostly for plinking and if I'm going to be shooting ALOT in the same day. AK if I'm in the mood to just blow shit up. AK seems like such a rowdy gun while the AR seems more precise. They can both be awesome guns. IMO it's a person preferance like a car or something.

    I've heard a lot of good things about them. You just pick what you want and they ship it to a gun dealer near you so you can get the background check and everything... I've seen some pretty good deals on there. I'll most likely be getting my next gun through them.

    7.62 is much cheaper to shoot than .223 is. If that's an issue to think about, the AK is not a bad choice. If not, I'd go for the AR myself.

    BTW, Ruiner don't know squat about guns nor grammar...... JP.

    i dont like ar's but thats just me, the main reason is i dont like supporting a design that are troops hate. also i like a gun a can treat like crap and no it will work, a ak will go bang everytime you pull the trigger it may not be as accurate after 300 meters but 10 bucks says you cant hit much at 300 meters with open sights. so the question is do you want somthin thats cheaper and works better and is a bigger caliber or do you want somthin thats more "humain", neets more cleaning and is more exspensive ? its a no brainer for me if i was going to spend alot of money on a "assult rifle" i would buy the springfield m1a1 socom. well good luck with yoiur buy and be safe
