More for me I guess, and I have been increasing my AK collection. They’re accurate enough and excellent mounting solutions such as RS Regulate have evened the playing field.
I love the 5.45, yeah it’s not as common on the shelf as 7.62, but I cant remember the last time I bought bulk ammo from a brick and mortar, online prices have them beat almost every time.

Also, I wish I could find proper milsurp mags for as cheap as I can for an AR. I actually enjoy my Saiga 74 conversion, I just feel that its a relatively heavy dead end of weapons evolution. Attempting to modernize it adds even more weight. The modularity of The AR15 and its DI operation make it the weapon to beat until we get another leap in technology, which I’m pretty skeptical of, anyway.

Not drunk, but definitely in the Goldilocks zone.

DI isn't a feature- perhaps AR mags and rifles are cheap for a reason.
This rifle on the other hand is the only one that will pass the extreme environmental tests.

We’ve heard plenty at this point about extreme environmental tests. Some of us have actually carried and used rifles in some pretty crummy environments, professionally.
DI absolutely is a feature and gas pistons are one of the reasons the 416 is more front heavy than the M4A1. And perhaps part of the reason it sucks with a suppressor.
Edit: seriously? $2300+ for an AK?

None of the AR variants passed the extreme environmental tests that the AK-103 did. I don't care what the military uses since they have access to the best ammo and are being followed around by armorers. The best rifle that exists on the civilian market in overall reliability- is the AK.

Dudes working in small units in remote places are not “followed around by armorers”. Do you take your rifle swimming? I have...

Two tests specifically that the AR will not pass; an over the beach test and the 1986 Swat Magazine extreme cold weather test.
The AK is the better overall rifle in terms of shear reliability.
Extreme cold weather test.

Still on 1986? Nothing has advanced since then?

The AK hasn't.
