Would you rather own two AK's or an AK and an FAL?

That's my dilemma tonight. I never shoot beyond 200 yards...but I've got all this 308 ammo sitting around....and I've got two AR's...only makes sense to have two AK's....

Help a brother out.

AK and FAL.

.308 is far more powerful than 7.62x39mm, no matter what range you are talking about.
In fact, if I could own only one rifle, the FAL would be preferable over the AK.

When you need to shoot at a target through other stuff, the .308 will oblige much better.

I agree 100% - I own and shoot all three on a regular basis, and I'll ALWAYS keep both an FAL and AK - but if forced, I'd get rid of my AR-15 before either of those... Get an FAL, Hokie - you'll be glad you did... As for distance, one thing to consider: 7.62x51(.308) will shoot through hard cover that'll laugh at 7.62x39 or 5.56x45 - so distance isn't the only thing to consider... Also, .308 is an excellent big game round...

other then my 10/22, the only two rifles i own are an AK and FAL. I consider both to be the most reliable firearms on the planet. they both have strengths and weaknesses that compliment each other. Together i believe they give me all the capabilities i need as a rifleman.

AK+FAL is a great combo.

if i had to choose one, i would choose the AK because it is the platform i am most familiar with.

I own 2 FAL's. Never been a fan of AK's. I tried one long ago and the horrible accuracy wasn't acceptable.

FAL and AK

A good FAL over the AK anyday unless you're talking about a Galil. I know A Galil is'nt a "true" AK but I, like some put it in the AK category.

You don't have an AR, an AK and a FAL???

Get the AK and FAL since you already have the AR. Then you will have the #1, 2, and 3 most widely issued rifles in the world.

You need at least two ARs, two AKs, and two FALs before you are a real person.

Variety is the spice of life!

Get one of each before you go and get a 2nd of one.

I have 2 Aks.

FAL is usually mor expensive so I would get one of those first if you can afford it.

Get a .308 Ak, a second hand .308 Saiga shouldnt be too hard to find.

Or just get both AK and FAL.

Nah...if you're gonna be a bear, might as well be a grizzlaaaay!

I'll opt for the FAL!
