Which is better?

Oh please not another AK vs AR debate  :'(   That can take you years to figure out.  I will say this, for close range combat, AKs may prove superior, but for longer range combat, an AR will be essential, as an AK is not very accurate.  I personally think purchasing an AR-10 with .308 round will be much better investment than an AK-47.  The .308 round is superior to 7.62 x 39, more penetrating and retains accuracy at farther distances. 

Check out DPMS and Armalite.

If you got the dough , you may consider investing in an M1A, its a real sweet gun, but may set you back couple - few grand.

ProJewGreekChristian:
Yeah, I also am of the opinion that an AR-15 is superior. Considering one's experience and amount of money he or she is willing to spend is what I believe could make the AK superior. Not the gun, but for a person.

Although it wouldn't make political sense for HUSSEIN to pressure congress to draw up another semi auto rifle ban until he gets reelected (pray to GOD he does not) getting an AK first then after a few months getting a nice AR is what I suggest all JTFers to do, as that is what I plan on doing...

MountainMan:
Check out AR-10 best of both worlds. I have many times considered selling my Ar-15s and switching to the AR-10 route.  The .308 is just a better all around manstopper, killer , etc than .223.  AR-10 also has the same accuracy as AR-15 with a more powerful round than the AK47.   

Most cheap AK-47s you buy today are complete garbage and its worth the extra money you spend on better made AR-15 or AR-10.   IF you want to buy an AK47 that is of good quality expect to pay the same or more than you would pay on an AR-15.  A decent quality AR-10 will run you around $1500, which is the same you will pay for a Bulgarian Arsenal AK-47 or a fully converted Saiga.

Check out AR-10 Armalite or DPMS. 

Perhaps the M1A is the best of all the combat semi auto weapons available to us..  It is more accurate than even AR-10 and also hold 19 round mags of .308.  The M1A is the civilian version of the military M-14 rifle.  I have seen them make all aluminum metal bodied M1As which give them the same appearance as an AR-15, but with the better mechanics of the M1A.
