I think both are great rifles. I like the fact that the AK isn't as picky. Chisel a rock to look like a bullet, stick some powder behind it and I bet the AK would shoot it. But you can definitely tell the difference in engineering once you pull the trigger. :shrugs: Finding AK mags was not hard during the initial mag boom of '13. Another added bonus of the AK...not the "cool" rifle.
