Keep in mind AK-74 ammo is corrosive and US built 74’s do not have chrome lining so it seems like a waste of money.

Whoever told you that you need an armorer to keep an AR running is full of scheisse.

For get all the stuff about ARs. Years old. I have a Colt MT6700. A Klintonized version of AR. Best damned AR I’ve owned. Tack driver.
Is it tedious to clean? Yes. Has it ever jammed? No.
Then again, nothing wrong with AKs either. Best for you to try firing as many types as you can. THEN buy. Like buying a new car.

Why don't you tell use what your thoughts are, your possibilities that you are considering,
and what you want to do with it.
Then, we can help.

My two centavos: AR-15's are a bit of a pain to clean and maintain, but they work well and are accurate far beyond the range of an AK-47. The 5.56 (cal .223) round is obviously smaller and offers less muzzle velocity, but its trajectory is far flatter than that of the larger, more powerful 7.62x51 as fired from an AK, most of which are crudely made, by comparison. Couple an AR-15 with a good holographic and/or laser sight and it is extremely accurate in my experience.

I am happy with the polish tantal but it doesn’t have a scope rail.
I will eventually add a beyrl rail to mine.
I hear the bulgarian models are very good.

During my 4 years in the Marine Corps I never had one jam, failure or anything else of the M16’s that I carried. We fired alot of live rounds and blanks.
Didn’t even have any parts break. I’d buy the AR15 over the AK74 because of ammo availability and all the neat stuff you can do with an AR nowadays. It’s a great platform.
Accurate too.
