I want an AK-47! Friends don't let friends buy AK47s, except as a toy after you've bought and mastered a series rifle. :)
Seriously, a Chinese AK47 costs $21 to build, using slave labor. The weapon was designed for an untrained, expendable military that used mass unaimed fire, and massed bodies, to get the job done.
The AR15 family, on the other hand, has evolved into a sophisticated, accurate system that can do almost anything with the right accessory attached. It's more delicate, but was designed for the professional soldier who expected to retire after 30 years in the service. It's more of a surgical instrument than a blunt object, and requires some respect, as all precision instruments do.
I have both an AR15 and a AK47S. The AK47S is a fun plinker, good for blasting cheap ammo. If I had to choose, the AK47 would be about the 4th or 5th choice for me among rifles if I needed one to survive.
Oh, and Steve says he prefers to buy you diamonds instead of rifles? What's his feeling about kitchen knives? :)

I agree mostly. I still need an AR also. But as far as AK's go that is a Bulgarian miller receiver (SLR-95) with a 150 dollar quick debatable sight rail on it. I got it with a pile of mags for pretty cheap. As far as AK's go it is arguably the best quality you can get. I have not had it at the range enough to get a real feel for it's accuracy although I am sure my brothers bushmaster could beat it with no trouble. For a survival gun I would probably take my lever action 44mag over it for lightness and versatility.

I virtuously eschewed stopping at the bagel shop. This is Monday, and this is the week I'm gonna get diet and exercise both down right.

That picture's gonna end up in the HH doorway one day.I think it would be terrific for the next homeschooling thread. It would only confirm the suspicions of those who like to come on those threads complaining about the insular nature of homeschooling. They already think we're some sort of cult folks. Now we can worry them into thinking we must be militia types too! LOL!
