Well, the warning was about being civil and this thread is pretty much the norm and it's civil.

We've had a bunch of members leave the new forum already...voluntarily.
I predict there will be more to follow.

Being asked to be civil in a thread that we're being civil in doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
There doesn't appear to be any rule violations either.

That's a little hard to respect.

If you do buy an AR, at least go with a quality company. Like BCM or Daniel Defense. And get a mid-length, it helps with recoil and less wear on the parts. Honestly, though, I would go with a AK variant of some sort. Best of luck.

Either would be a good choice, but in none of the brands or configurations you listed, son.  Do your homework.  If I get the all-time negative karma record on this site then so be it.  As long as I saved some lives...

I think the people who are laughing at RJF have never held one. Every build I've handled that Will did has been absolutely pristine.

If you let the TV show sway you--you are looking at the product TV producers make and ignoring the AK work Will does. It's patently intellectually dishonest.

You have more options than the 2 you posted. Do your research a bit more and you will see. Builds are a option with either. Arsenal is on the top, but many others are aswell. Double star is lower end, but for roughly the same price, deals can be had. Again very basic  AR builds are easy. BCG upper and lower. Or build all of it, or just build the lower and purchase the rest complete. Even fully built rifles of good quality and testing arnt to insane in price. Either way, shoot, if not at least handle both platforms. See what one fits you the best. That will be your answer between AR and AK. If ammo price in the concern invest in some reloading equipment. I wouldnt for 7.62x39 as AK's seem to never have issue with steel case. Or dont and run steel case in a AR and the price will be about the same. With the AR if you go that route and run nothing but steel buy a extra extractor. Though you wont need it for many thousands of rounds. Bottom line anything that anyone suggests will all boil down to 1 of 2 things. What actually fits you best or price or both. A arsenal is going to run you something like 7-800ish? Hell you can buy a colt 6920 for mid 900's. Or build using high quality/ well inspected parts for even less. I think thatguy dropped 7-800 on his lmt build

Personally I'd look at a few more options.  I don't know much about DS AR15s, I don't hear any reputable things about them though. I don't know much about Spike's Tactical but they make supposedly Mil Spec rifles for around $850 to $875. There's also Bravo Company, they make great stuff.

As far as AKs go, I wouldn't limit myself to Arsenal. They're great guns but frankly they're expensive for what they are.

A lot of people will bad mouth Century guns till their mouths are dry...........and most of it is warranted. But you can still get a quality AK from most any manufacturer if you know what to look for.

here's my buyer's guide I compiled from AK shopping over the years. Sorry for some of the mishaps on here, a Moderator on the site edited it without consulting me.

http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/Oldannyboy%27s+AK+Buyers%27+Guide.

If you follow that guide to insure quality you can get a good rifle from most companies. A few make's I'd suggest are the Norinco Mak 90s (With a square cut receiver) the Egyptian Maadi is a great rifle too, those are the two AKs I have the most experience with.

As far as ARs go, you can consult someone who knows a bit more about them and build one yourself for less than what you'd pay for a regular Mil Spec rifle. A lot of people I know consider the AR to be legos for adults.

 build one yourself for less than what you'd pay for a regular Mil Spec rifle.

Unless you are just slapping together an upper and lower, I would say it's a bad idea. The best analogy I heard is, that you wouldn't fly in an airplane you put together yourself, why would you trust a tool your life may depend on you built yourself? I say get it put together by a qualified armorer.

It's better to have it and not need it ...

Not really, if you research your parts before you buy them it shouldn't be an issue. If I did the research on the airplane parts to the extent I actually knew what I was doing I wouldn't have a problem with flying it (assuming I could fly).

ARs aren't really rocket science, I know a few people that built their own from parts they'd ordered off the internet and there's run just fine.
