Eyeing a used SAM7K for a decent price - under $1500

I can likely find a DRACO for $700 - maybe less given the day.

I like the 7K cuz its cool, I already own SARs, and it seems VERY handy, and its the same weight. I like the side rail, top cover sight (unless that is trash), etc. BUT... the best solution on the front is likely SLR RW and not cheap - and I'd be tempted to cut the HG retainer to get the best setup. Light mounting needs a real solution - unless I'd go ultimak.

I like the DRACO cuz its easy to convert, front end is easy to deal with, and its half the price.

Not 'buy both.'

Talk me into ONE.

Is the ultra short gas on the 7K iffy?
