Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Both are fun, but these days and with good ammo and lube practice in the AR, I find the reliability to be similar - and good. For CQB I might prefer the AK over a standard AR, but at anything beyond those distances I prefer the feel and results of the AR.

Having humped both and a pig in the sandbox I stand by my comments. .308 load out is not the same as .223 just my preference. Rather have more with less than less with more, just my observations from 20 years ago.Originally Posted by Tim K
Yes I understand this is an AR forum but I can have an opinion.Hoser will be along shortly to tell us that unless it is .338 or larger you need to go home.
I will say that our troops need something between .223 and .308. What that is I am not qualified to guess at.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
A more realistic comparison:

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
That was great.Thanks!

Touche! I love my AK, I keep it factory original style (wood stock, wood hand guard), but it will always come second to any AR...
That's awesome! I love this one for the Mosin: Your rifle has fought against itself and won every time.

Meh, it makes assumptions on both sides... For example, I don't own an AK-47... I do have several variants of AKMs....
Each platform has so many variants to make this comparison worthless... One caliber?
Ak74s in 5.45 are more accurate, while the short range performance of 7.62x39 is better. Not to mention all the different calibers you can get the AR or akm in...
And the difference ammo choice in each caliber can make in accuracy and ballistics.
No mention of customization options?
I give the comparison about a 4...

To me they have a different function.
If I was going to war, like, legitimate military warfare, I would want an AR-15. More accurate at extended ranges easier to change the configuration to fit different roles, lighter and I can carry more ammo.
To defend my home or for unconventional guerrilla encounters I want my SBR AK. Round is better for defeating barriers and maintains more punch from a smaller barrel. I also like the operation and ergonomics of the AK better, and the sights for CQB better, but that's user preference.
There's my 2 cents.

I'd have both if not for the boating accident. Love them each in their own way.
I actually own both AR's and AK's, and they each have their uses. In urban ops I like the 124gr JHP of the AK vs the 62gr penetrator for AR platforms. If I'm shooting 100 yards or more I like the AR, I'd rather at least get a wound shot at 300 yards with 5.56 than miss completely at 150 yards with 7.62.
