High quality basic AR 15 more reliable, easier to repair and probably would last longer.
After some thought I've decided to make an AK my SHTF rifle. I've got about a $600 budget and I would prefer to buy sooner than later. Any owners of either of these rifles have any input before I buy?
Alright, let's step away from specifically the AK47 and look at any 30 caliber rifle in the price range. I want the barrier penetration of 7.62 over 5.56. I also want that power in a reliable platform with ability to use magazine's. The only reason I specifically brought up the AK47 is for the price point that's really all I've found. I own AR15s. I don't want that anemic 5.56 for my SHTF.
Also 7.62x39 has the other advantage of being pretty cheap to stockpile decent quality ammo. I understand by stepping away from the AR I lose longevity, but let's be honest: any SHTF scenario where I literally shoot my rifle to death is going to be so beyond the scope of manageable it doesn't matter.
How often does small arms combat happen at 600 yards?
