[PHXLT1]

I went with the AK for a few reasons. 1- Reliability, 2 easy to maintain and 3 cost of steel cased ammo. This is my third AK and never had any problems with them. I can't honestly say that about the AR platform. Although great, I did have a issue with a Colt AR and a Daewoo K1 (I think that's what it's called.) The Daewoo had the same function and magazines as the AR. The Daewoo was my favorite rifle but I did have a couple issues with it.

I know now that could have easily been a bad mag or crappy ammo that caused the issues. But you know what they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
