I remember my Uncle telling me of the cold in the Korean war that disabled some weapons they were issued and the Garand was not one of them.....I think the M1A would be my first choice over an AK for all weather, urban or open terrain etc ........it was in Grenada, Panama and Desert Storm as it is now in my retirement. The AK is my house gun as I paid maybe 200$ for it back in the 80’s and I wouldn’t trade all the cash in canookistan for it as they are solid reliable performers. I just like the accuracy and reliability of the M1A as well as it’s ability to reach out for the long stop shot !
Trick or treat !...........Off to the door bells !
Sure to be some interesting discussion....
No doubt about that. Mine's a no kidding 800 yard rifle. Ain't nothing in a half mile circle going to be alive if I decide otherwise.
But it's big, it's heavy, and it's unwieldy in close quarters. So in my SHTF scenario, at least in my area, I think it'll be the AK over the M1A. Or perhaps I put the AK in Mrs. L's hands and back her up with the M1A......best of both worlds so to speak.
