Amazingly (or not so) my Wife keeps looking at the AR style weapons at our local Academy. Dropping $1000 or more on a single gun would be hard for me to justify at this time.
Maybe a *zombie killing* Defender or two would be a better bet.
I would prefer an AK over the AR anyday. I will take ‘caliber’ over varmint size everytime.
I have neither and must satisfy myself with 2 Garands, 2 M1 Carbines, an ‘03 springfield and a safe full of hunting rifles, 2 1911’s, hunting pistols, carry pistols and antiques all of which shoot and can be pressed into service for ‘My America’ if need be.
