I guess I haven't seen any good priced AK's in any gun shows I've gone to. They are always 500 bucks and cheap knockoffs at that. I confess I've never gone out looking for the deals like I have for AR's.
I know the AK is a very popular rifle, and the AR is a popular platform as well. That being said, I know the M-16 platform, I trust it, and like it quite a bit.
As stated above, there is a lot more mods available for the AR platform. There's no argument that can be made counter to that. It'll costs more yes, I feel like it can do more. 1 lower can fire multiple types of rounds with a 10 second upper swap. Yes a new upper costs a couple hundred.. but it's still an option.
I'm sure you'll have fun no matter which one you pick. Seems like everyone has an AR already. Could get the AK just to be different or you could jump on the bandwagon with us AR users.
