I must say that I prefer the AK over the AR, but for longterm planning, the modularity of the AR system is a huge plus. 15 years from now I can pull two pins and attach the latest, greatest upper receiver assembly to my current AR lower and magazines. My AKs will still be ticking away, but I won't be able to continue to evolve with the Kalashnikov system. I plan on investing thousands of dollars in more Glock 17s, AKs, ARs, and magazines in the next few years, but I may buy a few more ARs than I had originally planned given their modularity. |
Same here. My ARs and AUGs cover my 5.56 needs and FALs cover my 7.62mm needs. Variety is great but I have been fortunate enought to own or shoot most of what's out there and I just end up selling them and go back to the above models so I decided that unless something really exceptional comes along I am cutting back my spending on new/additional rifles considerably. S.O. |
And I was thinking that I was the only one that planned for long-term stuff like that  .I'm working on getting a spare gun for every one of my "go to" guns. The spare gets put in preservative and put away, to be a backup in case I can never get a replacement for the original. I've got a second G17 that should be in on Monday. I need another Colt 1911, Beretta 92, and Glock 19. I'll also get another PTR-91 and a few more uppers for my ARs. Magazines are a given -- I've got LOADS of those for every weapon system. |
