I read something in an article by Gabe Suarez that made me wonder why more people don't choose the AK as their primary carbine. AKs can and do jam, as we all know. But according to him, after years of using the AK as the preferred carbine for his training courses, they have never had a parts breakage. My understanding is that ARs that meet or exceed the TDP rarely break under heavy use, but it's not unheard of.
Can anyone speak to this? Do AKs break under heavy use too? Are breakages not really a problem with ARs on the left side of the Chart, or is running an AK the only real way to be sure?
FWIW, I use an ARP rifle with an enhanced bolt.
