Money wiseMoney wise, or because....???
Several decent AK's still in the $1000-1100 range or less. Spending more isnt going to get you a better gun. AR's are still cheap.I would agree.
But . So many variables intersecting right now. 2k is a tough pill to swallow for a rifle anyone could have bought for $800 5 years ago.
But it ain't 5 years ago.
Things might settle down, or plateau, but when? 2026?
AR being cheaper only for someone to upgrade it and have it the cost of average AK.Several decent AK's still in the $1000-1100 range or less. Spending more isnt going to get you a better gun. AR's are still cheap.
Upgrading is a Barbie gun mentality. No need to do it unless you just have more expendable income to get rid of. A entry level AR does everything a Gucci level AR does but it doesnt impress your friends on Arfcom. Same holds true with AK's. Except Romanian of course because their sights are canted.AR being cheaper only for someone to upgrade it and have it the cost of average AK.
It's like when people talk about the price of Glock mags vs H&K or Sig… we're accustomed to the cheaper mags
I refer to upgrades as in getting optics and for me it's about comfort and convenience… give 2 fkz about the new fad that everyone else is doing… and yes I am the type that uses my irons but still like the option of a decent optic…Upgrading is a Barbie gun mentality.

how much is THAT much???Where the heck do you live? At least 25 or more increase, some 50% , in most semi-auto long guns here with some much higher than that.Thats the private market Handguns not as much with some manufacturers, like Glocks, not much at all now that they have been able to restock. Shops are gouging still too.I havent seen MOST guns go up in price that much. Years of market saturation seem to be keeping prices and availability somewhat reasonable. Ammo on the other hand.
3 point slings. LolI refer to upgrades as in getting optics and for me it's about comfort and convenience… give 2 fkz about the new fad that everyone else is doing… and yes I am the type that uses my irons but still like the option of a decent optic…
Not as much as they were a year or so ago. I built a M4 PSA last year for $250 because it was so dirt cheap. The same kit/lower is close to double that now.Several decent AK's still in the $1000-1100 range or less. Spending more isnt going to get you a better gun. AR's are still cheap.
You can still built a Basic Anderson/PSA/??? M4 for under $500But I would buy an AR before I bought an AK
There is already a ban on Russian and Chinese ak's but the rest of the import Ak's come from nato allies there is no import ban happening with our nato allies.I'm referring more to the post Sandy Hook situation where there was Nothing on the shelves and you couldn't find a buttstock screw for sale. This is a cakewalk.oh no, 25-50% more boohoo. It could be 500% more. Wait till more inport bans start .then you'll wish you had bought those $1000 AKs.
I think this applies to a lot of Russian hardware, honestly. The Soviets cranked out a ridiculous number of tanks, aircraft, etc. that performed consistently in hard conditions and with indifferent maintenance. History demonstrates this time and time again. So I would agree that Russian-made AK-47s (or 74s) were the best option for equipping, say, a motorized rifle division about to deploy to Afghanistan in 1983.Russian AK's are the best in terms of being the most mass produced and consistent. From a "quality" standpoint, in the manufacturing world that is a objective term, they probably have the fewest defects get out the door. That doesnt mean much to the end user who's looking for something more than milquetoast.
No i wont. I got MORE than enough.More than 95% of anybody on this site.Hell ive got stuff i didnt even remember I had. All bought way back in the day. Got 7.62 I paid 5 cents a round for STILL.Lots of it!I See I saw the writing on the wall 30+ years ago and planned accordingly. So no boohoo here and don't worry your pretty little head missy!I'm referring more to the post Sandy Hook situation where there was Nothing on the shelves and you couldn't find a buttstock screw for sale.

Only if it has blinker fluid reservoir… but remember that it's your rifle and upgrade or not how you want!3 point slings. Lol
Laser on a scope, with a pigtail, on a riser, with a rear view mirror.
Yeah sure. A total import ban is inevitable. Matter of time.There is already a ban on Russian and Chinese ak's but the rest of the import Ak's come from nato allies there is no bad happening there.
I know you are and so are others… just like to periodically say something because newer people may not have read the whole threadI'm doing my part
