'merica! AR talk 3.0

[BigMotherTucker]

finished my A1. I had a small feed ramp issue but DNADawg talked me off the ledge and got me through it.
Let me here your thoughts.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I think your ammo just got cheaper.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

I hope so. I need some more.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

A ways to go before the night is done.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

True... But (to keep it gun related), I feel better about ammo supplies tomorrow.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

But what do you think of the rifle?

 

[Bulldogg31]

But what do you think of the rifle?

Great looking weapon. You are a man of many talents.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Like it a lot

Bout the 3rd time I've seen.

You should be proud...

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Thank you sir... Im not so sure about "many" talents. I mean, if you need a whole pizza eaten.. or a rifle built, im your man.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

I appreciate that. To be fair... This is the first pic ive posted of it being 100%

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I do Like it!

 

[DNADAWG]

Good Looking weapon.......Reminds me of my days of drooling at the Colt catalog in high school instead of paying attention in class. That weapon & the Colt Delta Elite were some of my dream guns!

 

[BigMotherTucker]

This is going to sound stupid.. But I feel privileged to build and own an accurate replica of a piece of American history.

 

[Shamoan]

This might be communist of me, but the ak47 is a better platform and weapon. Open the receiver, dump in a puddle of mud, drive over said gun with a light armor vehicle, and place your life on the line, ak wins. AR still a fine weapon.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Id like to build one of those too comrade.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I digress

Not near the platform, but great short range weapon.

 

[Shamoan]

Accuracy is that of 1947...reliability is that of 2085 or beyond.

I own both. If I were in combat and my life depended on it, give me the AK over the AR any day. It's just unbelievably reliable. As an general infantry weapon, it's far superior to the AR.

 

[Shamoan]

You are great American. I would expect you to say that.

 

[BELdog]

The AK is a steaming pile of dog **** compared to the AR-15. The reliability issue is vastly over-stated. I own multiples of both and have built both from stripped receivers. The quality of the weapon systems is not comparable. Give me a rack grade AR over a rack grade AK any day of the week, whether we're going to the range or back to Iraq.

 

[Shamoan]

Well, there u have it

It all depends on the make of the AK. A true Russian Type 2 or Type 3 with a milled receiver is a damn fine rifle. Very reliable and a good shooter. I'd take mine to combat any day!! On the other hand, you get a poorly made stamped AK and it's crap. I picked up a few Iraqi made stamped AKs while in Iraq and used them. I shot the first one I picked up and it blew the dust cover off. I chunked that one!!!

 

[drail14me]

Great looking build!! NODAK upper and lower?

 

[Sancho Panza]

Really looks nice. The 20 rd USGI mag is a nice touch, too.
