I dunno what happened. I've been a real AK fanatic for the past 20 years (and I still am). Done a few home builds (bent and welded AK receivers from a flat for builds) and I've owned a few AR's. But I just picked up a new one (Bushmaster M4 style 14.5" with very slim handguard) and I'll tell you what.... it's soooo light, so small, light recoil.... and to add, a .22LR drop in conversion. Well, it's become my favorite rifle. I don't know what else to say but I am in love with it. Not planning on selling of my AK's but my first grab if the SHTF is going to be the AR... shit I feel like a complete sellout. Only thing that sucks is my ammo stockpile is all 7.62. |
, and now I am in the starting phase of my 5.556/223 build.

I am looking at a pre-ban IMI Galil right now, it will be my first AK variant.
I don't know why, but I have a serious hard on for a Galil. The fact that it's chambered in a caliber that I'm already into is pretty much sealing the deal for me. I know they are heavy, and a lot of people don't care for the sights, but I want one anyway. |

I will PM you my address for shipment of this terrible misfortune. I will properly dispose for you!

Hah no thanks I am keeping it :)
After all if the there is a disaster like Katrina and I am at risk of having my weapon confiscated my moronic govt officials while on the move, it'll be one of my $200 AK builds not my AR
Worst part is I sold a case of 5.56 when I sold my last AR. But then bought another AR and smacked myself in the forehead for selling off the ammo. |

I was the same way too |

It's a hard on worth having. Having a Galil for your first AK type rifle is some mighty good taste. I love mine. They are not fancy. No rails and bells and whistles but they are built like a tank. And you can run it over with a tank and it will still work! Both the AK and AR are excellent weapons. No gunsafe would be complete without both. |
