What’s a good rifle to buy with that for this price range? AK or AR?
Getting a tax return of $600
AR, you'll get a shit AK for that price range.
What’s the optimal price for a decent ak? I like the wood look rather than all black.
AR, and that's coming from a Zastava AK fan. For a beginner you will want an AR with 16" barrel and flat top receiver. Try to get picatinny for a handguard, not a dealbreaker if you can't find that. Get rounds and mags over gucci optics or features.
Buy a milled norinco. Dont buy an ar theyre junk unless you build one with a nickel teflon upper and coated bcg. If you ever need a shtf rifle and theres no oil an ar is junk unless its coated.
Nickel boron wmd uppers are junk also just call failzero and ask them how well nib works on aluminum
Yeah I’m not a fan of tacticool stuff. This will be my first rifle so why not.
Id recommend a norinco hunter over an ar any day
Ak ammo is cheaper
>Norinco
Isn’t that the Chinese company? I thought they only did business in Canada?
No its not... .223 and 5.56 is ridiculously plentiful with a ton of variety from steelcase to premium hollowpoint "home defense" loads. OP dont be dumb get AR
CZ P09
Lol you might get a bushmaster on sale
I mean, you can literally use motor oil so i'd argue that's a non issue since a bottle from the store will last a lifetime even after "expired".
1200+, unless you're willing to put a lot of work into it.
>Get a WASR-10 for about 600
>rifle is fine
Do your own research for days if not months but its common sense to buy an ak if its a shtf rifle. You will get a shit ar for 600 that idiots like above think is reliable
You're looking at about 800 and up.
you can give 1000 rounds of penetrator 5.56 for like $250. I wish I had an AK but I can hunt dear with 5.56 just as well and it also looks cool
Yeah I’ll end up buying an ar for sure. Are fore-grips worth it and any recommendations for one?
>What’s the optimal price for a decent ak?
It was bout $300 before Obama banned imports now you are looking at $1,000 for a good one. AK's used to be poorfag guns and AR15's were for richfags but now AR15 owners are the poorfags.
get an AR and it better be an A1 or A2
forgot you said $600 bucks...
Get an M&P15 or PSAshit
Oil doesnt expire idiot. Aks are more reliable but ars are fun to build and light. If shtf thered gonna be motor oil on the shelfs. Who knows if youll have access to oil. Also i spent years as an ak person and now im into the baby bullet ars there are way more problems on forums with ars then i ever saw ak people post.
sad state of affairs we are in. I've always wanted that sense of superiority over poorfags with slavshit surplus.
>PSAshit
PSA was only good in the early years now they are absolute shit.
>tfw my AR was $450 and it's a badass and durable SHTF rifle and rounds grow on trees
what is up with fart sniffing gun queers man. You are spending $500-$1000 more on what is barely any difference in grouping, if any. I bet my "poor mans AR" shoots just as good as yours does, and it goes without saying that you have to run them wet
WASR is at $750~
Unless you want to take a chance and go american. PSA is working on a better US made AK for sub $1000, but it ain’t there yet.
I want a krinkov so I imagine the price would be around there. I’ll prob buy one after the ar.
Palmetto State has an American made AK that finally works. It took us until 2020 to figure it out, but it did happen. I've shot at least 600 rounds so far from mine, not a single issue. Jewtube has guys running thousands - and no microscopic damage detected. PSA also does a lifetime warranty. You could shoot 5,000 rounds, break something, and send it back. Proven they honor it. Their AK is fucking cheap as fuck. You could buy two for 1,200.
>5.56 is expensive
I just bought a couple cases of 1000rds FMJ for $0.23 a round, with free shipping.
It's a personal preference thing. I don't like them myself. Just another thing hanging off it that is bound to get snagged on something.
Your about 3-4 weeks of filing behind the current backlog.
I wish you luck in your journeys.
Wife got me a NPAP for $500 a few years ago, love it
Fucking Obama.
I would focus on getting mags and ammo first (and a good quality sling). This might be a thread better suited for /k/ but they'll probably shill an AR too. Dont trust anons that still think AK's are "more reliable" than AR's that's all I can say. That said, all guns are fun and I do like AK's

I have a PSA M16 BCG and it has worked flawlessly so far but I've only ever put 2k rounds through it so far.
I can't comment on their other products other then that I do not trust their price points for such a system with fine tolerances.
I kitted out my shit from ebay years ago, the foregrip makes your gun much more comfortable when handling, if you were expecting CQB hallway shit in minecraft you would appreciate the extra handling ability
isnt AK superior for using .308 though. can you even kill someone with an AR with one bullet
>no oil
>ever
Yeah I'm sure in a SHTF scenario all those 100,000,000,000 cars, tractors, lawn mowers, generators, chainsaws and deep fryers are all just going to dematerialize...
Yeah where? Ive never seen it that cheap. Its also gay its not real armor piercing it has a dinky steel tip thats for stabilization only. Cut one open with dykes and look at it.
Ur a moron good luck
I bought slavshit when it was cheap and i wish i had bought more.
>dat feel when i bought a .308 Vepr brand new for $400 and now they will never be imported again.
thats why he put expire in quotes, autist
>can you even kill someone with an AR with one bullet
Yes.
My biggest regret was never buying a vepr in 7.62x39.
Put a couple of decent ARs on layaway for 10% down today, 90 day terms. If prices go up I can flip, if they go down I lose around $100. If they stay the same, I'll know days or weeks before normies that sjit is hitting the fan and I will go pick them up. I have other ARs on layaway around town, and have several in the house already.
Roger, Bushmaster, PSA, S&W are all good brands and can be had in great condition used for under $600.
>Get rounds and mags over gucci optics or features.
This. You need to learn to shoot iron sights anyway. That's a feature you need to look for in your purchase. Lots of people pull them off, so make sure your rifle is usable from the jump. Optics and attachments are icing, not the cake. You're better off firing 1000 rounds and learning to shoot properly than dumping $300 on shit you don't need.
Mag pouches and a rack are good buys as well. Buy some .223 for practice, then rezero with the 5.56 you will use in a SHTF situation, load mags, stack in pouches on a carrier, and be ready to stack bodies.
Get a backup pistol when you have some cash. Something around $300-400 in 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45. A Mossberg 50p or Remington 870 is another good addition to the arsenal for under $300.
If you are cash poor now and just waiting for Trump bux, do the layaway thing and lock in cheap prices while you can. Consider traveling within your state to where guns are more plentiful if you are in an urban area.
I haven't had any issues with PSA - got my uppers and lowers from them, ALG triggers elsewhere. All built myself bc cheaper. Most people complain about shipping times. You do realize PSA's entire belief is to arm every American with enough firearms to not be confiscated, right??
There are no good domestic AK's. The rest are overpriced.
Just buy an M&P 15 and get a bunch of mags and accessories with the rest of the money.
dayum nice. you've earned your trips
Based and 5w30 pilled
I know that, hence the quotes around "expired" dumbass. ARs have more problems because there's such a wide variety of brands, tolerances, and materials. For $600 he might as well buy an SKS assuming you guys still have relatively cheap ones. Who the fuck has an AR-15 with ammunition and no motor oil available for miles. You could literally siphon a quarter cup of used oil from your own vehicle and it would be perfectly fine. I own a Norinco CQ-A which is a poorly machined M4 clone with 10K rounds through it and it runs like a swiss watch. I paid $550 CAD for it. I literally use bottom barrel oil from walmart that I bought years ago and it's perfectly fine. AK reliability is bullshit. Invest in better mags and ARs have fuck all issues.
You have no clue what youre talking about. Many decent barrels come with an moa guarantee. I have a cheap ar also, is that better. Im sorry youre stupid
every 556 vs 762/308 video ive watched shows the AR is a baby play toy compared to an AK
Link? Is it the AK SV
>My biggest regret was never buying a vepr in 7.62x39
I like Vepr's but i preferred the SGL's in x39 chamberings they were lighter and Saigas were easier to convert yourself
Based leaf
Dont trust fan boys that are blinded by their ignorance. Youre a faggot fan boy. History proves otherwise as does the battlefield vegas ak thread. Milled or quality aks are better you stupid fucking moron
sometimes there's 450 XMJ 5.56 from PSA for $120, so about 250 per 1K, now granted this was with a rebate but I got that shit from the US postal service 3 days later
Smith and Wesson m&p15 sport.
Cheap and high quality.
>Using 5.56mm at all.
You want to kill niggers not lick them
It's much faster than 7.62 and fragments on impact with soft targets. It does not have the barrier penetration that 7.62 has but there is good reason why it's NATO's primary cartridge.
Absolute trash caliber.
The irony. Stay mad slav faggot
and by 7.62 I mean x39, obviously it's going to be out-preformed by a .308
Kys
just google it.
AK-74s are vastly superior but are Hen's Teeth in the USA. I snagged a Saiga before the Obama ban, its awesome and has hardly any kick.
Bruh just wait for your Trump Change to come through and get something you know you'll like.
>mutts
>any excuse to murder each other
dat "patriotism"
But put it on layaway now and lock in the price.
nato made it their cartridge because its not as lethal, brainlet
7.62xMeatballs
5.56 > 7.62x39 simply because it's more versatile. I do like 7.62x39, but it's fun to play at long ranges too and you can just slap a Nikon P223 on an AR and being surprisingly effective at 500+ yards.
I don’t think you’ll be able to get either right now, I heard prices are fucked right now with the virus
doubtful.
You know they have to live amongst NIGGERS right?
Get an AR Ruger 5.56 is probably going to be your best bet in that price range. Good standard of manufacturing.
>Ruger 5.56
Ruger guns are all casted pieces of shit the M&P is a better gun if you are on a budget it at least uses a forged FSB
>It was bout $300 before Obama banned imports
That's an exaggeration. I'm not aware of any decent AKs that have been that cheap in this century.
