[QUOTE=THCDDM4;795501]if you need to put your life on the line with 1 gun, why don't you have an ak47? My brother is in Afghanistan and that is what they use...his issue weapon is an m4. I have to say that I would not place ANY ar15 as my last line of defense...or even 1st line. It would be my Garand. i got my ar to shoot with my wife.
Oh no, he didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()
If you're in range, so are they...
no flames intended with what i said, I have one and there is a reason they are using them and m14's again in Afghanistan. I also have a mak 90. My brother says that they BURY the ak's....then grab them on the run and they shoot . his m4 isn't anywhere as reliable...but then again, he had his wife send him a glock so he could "lose" his beretta.![]()
[QUOTE=nickg;795699]The debate between such widely disparate weapon systems is valid for varying combat conditions. The best weapon in the mountains and hills of Afghanistan is going to be different than the streets of Minneapolis or your home entryway. As to reliability...AK vs AR is a whole different argument than Colt vs DPMS.
I'm sure it's prudent and legal to send a Glock through the mail to Trashkanistan. If he truly wanted and could carry one he would already have it or have access to it without asking his wife to commit several felonies. The whole reason for some troops carrying some form of .30 caliber weapon has nothing to do with reliability. Thier reasons for carrying them would make the AK series even less desirable than the M-4's. I'm not knocking your brother but lots of trash get said that is sometimes not even close to the truth. I say this as a vetreran of Iraq who has a brother currently in the Army on his 2nd tour of Trashkanistan.

It's just that with budgetary contraints, I personally am limited. It helps that you know a guy who's good with a welder.
Out of curiosity, how did you pin the ACS? Drill press and then roll pin?
And to the person who mentioned full stock, Ace stock, and the Magpul PRS- Those work fine but I have slightly shorter arms, and i like to be very tucked in, so I need a collapsable stock pinned in place.
Yes it is possible to get a more than decent AR in a ban state, it's just that it's expensive and very time consuming.
