AK vs AR (for a woods gun)

[Thefisherman83]

AR's are lighter, more compact, more accurate, less recoil and can be configured any way you want with different stock and handguard options.

My vote is the AR all day every day.

There is a reason so many countries use ak47 = reliability & toughness

Ak goes bang every time ak all day

One main reason is they dont have the money to get anything better.not sayin its a bad weapon justwhat they afford.surplus ak where dirt cheap 10-20 ago.and they do go bang everytime. Best weapon for the money is why so many countries use it

I'd go Ak the 7.62x39 has more energy and is more reliable.  The difference in accuracy under 150 yards is not going to make a difference.  Those that say a 300BL is the same as a 7.62x39 must think a 308 win is the same as a 300 win mag.  The energy % difference is the same.

The 300blk uses a more efficient bullet. The 7.62x39 has more energy at the muzzle, but out at 100yds they are pretty well even. Plus the ammo selection for the blk is 100x better.

[hunter399]

I never said they where same 7.62x39 and 300 blk ,but not far off.7.62x39 will go though a car door ,concrete,and steal better than a 300 blk .but there both a 200 yrd gun a best for hunting big game.they do sell ar upper in both calibers.and alot of other calibers.when u have a ar u can configured anyway you want.at the end of the day ak will always be an ak,ar can be change into alot other calibers.

I have a friend at work,his ak cant hit anything past 50 yrds. Alot people abuse them,1000'sof rounds though them get a new as possible one

I like being able to pop the hood on AK'S -SKS' S . Ez to maintain and clear. Only a few things that cause stoppage.  That and it digest steel cases flawlessly as opposed to the AR.

I dont own one but ive heard that the Kit guns actually shoot pretty good because you have to buy a new American barrel and make your own receiver... Pretty sure the quality of the barrel and the job done pressing it in are the big factors in accuracy.

Went to the gun shop yesterday.... Can't find an AK rifle for under 1000 in decent shape......

However, I decided I'm going to trade my AR in for an AK pistol with arm stabilizer brace, they had an AK pistol for 600$

For close up brush work, a small gun like that seems to fit my bill pretty well, seems to be my ideal take anywhere jeep gun by first impressions

I just noticed that Ruger now offers a 300 Blackout in their mini-series rifles.   That would be sweet, especially with a suppressor.

That must be relatively new I haven't heard of that yet. I heard the 7.62 has about the same ballistics? I guess the 300 might have heavier bullets though?
