I’ve heard that the AK is akin to a machete, while the AR is akin to a scalpel.
I don’t own an AK, so I can’t confirm or deny this.
I’ve fired, but never owned an AK.
I own 3 older WASRs. They might be most maligned of a maligned carbine.
Mine all feed reliably and they do what they should do.
The Russians zeroed them by shooting at rocks. Mine hit quart milk jugs at a hundred yards.
The latest edition of Blue Press has a red dot mount (for you optimists) that replaces the adjustable iron sight but my eyes still work well enough for an AK.
Why didn’t any of you gun gurus tell me about the Apex spring set for the S&W Sigma when I was bitching about its gas pump-like handle? Great gun but for the trigger.
