Daniel Defense M4 FOR THE WIN! [url=http://www.freesmileys.or
I've shot GAPatriot's AK before, its a kit and I like it a lot. One problem that I have with it, is its inaccuracy. I love the recoil that it has and the feel of the gun. I found it easy to shoot with me just first picking it up, I've always had a natural inclination to firearms though. I did notice more weight, as my M4 has nothing special on it, just iron sites and no rail. Of course, GAP's Kit is just a plain jane AK as well.
I did find that it took me just an extra part of a second to get the sights back on target and fire another shot compared to the lower recoil of my M4 at 100 yards. Not a big deal, though. I also don't like the sights on the AK at all, I like mine a lot better.
Also, I didn't find the mag changes that hard, but changing them out on the M4 is easier, and of course, it would be easier to teach someone else how to do the mag changes as well. I like that all I have to do with M4 is drop mag, put a new one in, and tap the left side and I'm back into the fight.
Funny thing is, that I've never had one single problem with my M4, no malfunction, no FTF or FTE in hundreds if not thousands of rounds. When we were out on the range, GAP's AK blew up, literally. One of his welds didn't hold, and KABOOM! I joked about the M4 still running flawlessly, and the AK being down for the count. Of course, this was manufacturing error on his part, because it was a kit build.
I think they both have advantages and disadvantages, but I'm going to be running an AK when SHTF if GAP and I are able to hook up at the BOL. I'll always keep my M4, though. I just love it for quite a few reasons.
If you're looking for a good M4, check out Daniel Defense. They do amazing quality work, and they also have the best customer support out of any firearm company that I've heard of. I called up there once, and spoke directly with the owner, he picked up and phone, and we had a great little chat. Answered all my questions and then some.
I also here they are gaining an incredibly huge name for quality in the market. Everyone I know who owns one, probably 10 or 15 people, have never had a single problem with one. If they did have a problem their customer service took care of the problem immediately and they just kept right on going. They will stand behind their product and make any problem right, literally.
