I like my ARs. I like my AKs. Never have really had a failure with either. I probably have a few thousand more ak rounds downrange.

I sold everything after the "panic" died down and lost my rear end on the deal. I honestly couldn't bring myself to do it again. I thought they were going to be better than it turned out and bought 4 lowers and just gave one away and the rest just sit there.
Or get more AKs... Hell get one in 5.56 too, just to throw em off.

Barret REC7
I would love an AK74, and possibly build a carbine or pistol sometime and give this whole safety thing a shot.Or get more AKs... Hell get one in 5.56 too, just to throw em off.
Their customer service is great. I sent it in and they went through it and gave it their seal of approval before I sold it.That actually surprises me, I would think Barret would be of high quality but must admit I always thought they should stick to what they're good at doing. The problem is everyone wants to get into the AR market because that is what sells but few have a clue how to do it right, ARs get a bad rep because it, that said any manufacturer can put out a lemon, too.
Not at all, I'm being utilitarian! Best of both worlds. The Polish and Bulgarians are making AKs in 5.56 for some military contracts so its not just us civilians using them.An AK in 5.56? Now you're just being a clown.
Too bad 5.45 isn't going to make a comeback anytime soon... AKs in 5.56 are coming in still, in small numbers from Arsenal. PSA is making one in 5.56, but if the trunnion isn't able to accept AK mags I'd lose interest in bothering since it'll only be using AR mags.I would love an AK74, and possibly build a carbine or pistol sometime and give this whole safety thing a shot.
Neither do I...
Probably not a good idea atm to enter the AR market unless you fill a niche that's needed... But really what is there that needs to be filled in the AR market at this point other than new rounds or a multi-caliber set up?That actually surprises me, I would think Barret would be of high quality but must admit I always thought they should stick to what they're good at doing.

Why do you say that about 5.45? What is the deal with that platform?Not at all, I'm being utilitarian! Best of both worlds. The Polish and Bulgarians are making AKs in 5.56 for some military contracts so its not just us civilians using them.

ATF killed 7N6, 5.45 isn't that much cheaper now, harder to come by, mags are harder to come by, not many rifles if any at all are coming in. I don't even know if Arsenal still brings them in, they seem keen on just making 7.62x39 and 5.56 AKs. Arsenal USA, unlike CAI, doesn't tell them what to make and only gets what Arsenal in Bulgaria is willing to send over.Why do you say that about 5.45? What is the deal with that platform?
Obama killed 7N6 as part of his war on gun owners, 5.45 isn't that much cheaper now, harder to come by, mags are harder to come by, not many rifles if any at all are coming in.

As much as I want to say it was his direct doing I gotta put where the blame is... ATF themselves killed it, they stated it was armor piercing. Obama did kill the Russian imports, but not 7N6.FIFY
I just looked around and there is ammo but no rifles. OuchAs much as I want to say it was his direct doing I gotta put where the blame is... ATF themselves killed it, they stated it was armor piercing. Obama did kill the Russian imports, but not 7N6.
Yeah, 5.45 is just for those who want em just to have em at this point. 5.56 and 7.62x39, and now 9mm, is what we get.I just looked around and there is ammo but no rifles. Ouch
