First a confession. I sold my AR-15 to pay for my Wife's engagement ring. I am still paying penance for that decision 16 years later. Not for buying the ring, but for selling that gun before it tripled in value. Your teasing will help pay off that penance earlier, so have at it.

As for the AR-15 vs the AK I would go for the AK. They were designed to be operated, broken down and cleaned by untrained peasants. Simple is good.

“untrained peasants”

Sure fits my description...

You sold a (probably Pre-ban) ‘15 for a Wedding Ring? Just what the hell were you thinking? I have a 1970 Colt SP-1, the very first issued version with no forward assist, nor shell deflector....I would sooner give up my car before parting with that. What do you think of that decision now?

The AK has so-so accuracy.( although you can buy, at a premium, Finn/Western made ) The AK ballistics have a real drop in them vs the flatter shooting AR. The round isn’t quite as devastating as the AR. It weighs more.

Both are good...enough.

I’m on the AR side of the fence.
