BWB, bro you are out of your lane. Breath deep and move over.
Sledge,
AKs need lube, ask 505th.
I can put a magazine into my rifle without having to rock it to sleep first.
What about the finish of the gun effects its performance more so how is your rifle looking like a beat piece a selling point?
ARs eat steel they just don't go back to brass without a cleaning. If you ever ran brass in your ak you would know it won't do it either. That is not a platform thing it's a chemical thing.
Where is all this ammo choice? Would that be caliber or maker?
If I had the right tools I could build a spaceship.
I am not trying to crack nuts here I am just tired of hearing people compair the AK to the AR. The AK is a fantastic submachine gun it is not now nor has it ever been a rifle so to compare it to one isn't fair to either platform.
BWB's comment is a perfect example of what I am talking about. So much bad information exists that the poor young man can't figure out wether he is coming or going. Won't someone please thing of the children?
LOL! LOL! AR are guys are way too sensitive.
BWB's question was, "Sledge, what kind of gun are you running?" Who said anything about comparing AR's to AK's?
I answered him in the form of a game. So I answered him with a series of statements that if they were any truer would have been placed in the Bible.
AK's do not need lube in order to run effectively! Period. If you do need lube it's too tight. That said, when I clean mine I place a small dab of white grease on each rail. That's not so it will run, that's just an effort to get it to last for 1,000 years instead of 200.
How does not having to rock an AR mag to sleep have anything to do with me running an AK? I'm not understanding. But ok, whatever.
I never said anything about the finish on my AK affecting it's performance or increasing it's resale value. I was describing what I run.
I'm very happy that AR's can eat steel. I don't run brass in my AKs as they seem to love the taste of the cheap shit. Which makes me happier still.
Original question, "Sledge, what gun do you run?"
Ammo Choices: FMJ HP, SP 122gr, 123gr, 124gr, 125gr (just saw this one for the first time), 137gr fragmenting, 154gr, available in corrosive and non corrosive (yes, there are advantages to each), armor piercing, phosphorus.
Maybe I should have just said, "BWB I run an AK."
Really guys, ya'll are taking anything said as an attack on the precious AR platform.
Actually, it's pretty funny as it says something about the platform that it's supporters have to be so defensive about it. Personally, I like AR's just fine. Don't own one for my own reasons. Just like ya'll own one for your own reasons. It's all good with me.
Be happy guys!
