Tell me your thoughts/pros & cons of the similarly priced full auto AK and AR. I don't own an AR yet (I do own an AK), but am I correct in thinking they cost about the same to feed? 1,000rds of 7.63x39 is $109 shipped (even less some other places or locally). That the AR would have more interchangeability (uppers, stocks, calibers..)? Is the bolt (etc) special for full auto? The barrel? That the AR mags are more expensive then the AK mags. A worn barrel on an AK is not as easy to replace as an AR??? Which is more desirable if reselling were a concern? Anything else you would like to add.
I'll make this a poll to see what the majority would choose if they had to choose between these two as their first and maybe only full auto.
Thanks!
Oh, last question. Is a full auto registered sear for an AR a good or bad route to go? I'm thinking that you could obtain it and then find a preban in just the right condition/price... Might even save some money going that route. What minor parts need to be altered or switched out with the installation of that sear? What are the associated costs? Is a AR converted this way as valuable or not? $7,850 Pre-1986 AR vs. a ~$7,500 converted pre-ban ($5,000 for sear and ~$1,500 for preban).
