Quote Historylol after a whole 1k rounds he deems his AKM superior. Yea you can dig an AK up and dump some oil on it and it will sling bullets. No way it will sling them accurately though. You can easily do the same thing with an AR but since AR platform rifles are not used by druken untrained retarded plebs that bury their weapons for some reason it hasn't happened yet. |

I know that somewhere, someone is saying out loud that I am a dumb-ass or a communist.
So far, he's right on the money. hell, I even liked to clean guns Ah, now I trust that he knows what he's talking about Major corporations and military units typically have a robust supply system that can provide an individual any desired replacement part they may need. This is necessary, because the variation in parts from manufacturer to manufacturer is immense, making interchangeability difficult. Huh. Guess I was fooled into thinking that in-spec parts can be swapped easily. Shit, I've been wrong all along! The buffer spring and buffer weights alone have more than a dozen different variations depending on barrel length and number of coils on the buffer spring. Then, stop and consider the rifling twist rates in the weapon’s barrel and what projectile works optimally in them. Man, this is SO hard to keep track of! You mean I should use a carbine buffer when I'm using a carbine system? I have to figure out what ammo works best in my rifle? Dammit, this is confusing. I hate having choices. The pins used in the trigger and lower control group also have variations depending on manufacturer. Colt used a pin set with a larger diameter than other makers, while also making rifles with the industry-standard smaller-sized pins. Fuck, different PINS? Yup, not fit for battle. With the AKM/AK-47 family of rifles, buffer-spring variants from country to country don’t matter much, and it has no buffer weights to worry about. Problem solved. I only need to stock one style of spring, the same one used by most of the 100 million AK-47s that have been produced. This makes my overhead for long-term support of my rifles considerably less. Yeah, those buffers that I swap out all the fucking time have really broken the bank. And they wear out so fast! If I was part of an invading army, with thousands of people making sure I had what I needed to do the job properly, then by all means, the AR-15/M4 would be perfect. But I am not, and I don’t see myself being in that situation again. TIL that thousands of people at one time depended on the M4 of a USAF Civil Engineer. Often, people’s only exposure to AK-47 variants are poorly built imports. Most of these guns are full of major safety and functional issues requiring skilled gunsmiths to correct. Like anything mechanical in nature, cheap knockoffs will never meet the standard of the original. Wait, so you're saying that AK parts from different manufacturers aren't interchangeable? Man, that author completely changed my thinking on this topic. So glad he made those interesting points. |

He's bitching about the AR because there is too much variety of parts like multiple buffer spring weights and lengths and multiple buffer weights.
So? Have a couple spares for what you own and you're GTG. He's really reaching and has no valid objections. |

Parts for a rifle that is literally everywhere in the U.S. might be hard to find. Therfore I will adopt a platform that in this country has only ever been used by a handfull of civilian enthusiasts.

He was probably a glorified construction worker--maybe he did some surveying or soil sampling in his time, but that's grunt work, not engineering. For all he's willing to divulge he could have been a torch monkey in the HVAC shop: no disparagement intended, I thoroughly enjoyed having A/C whenever I was off the flightline. I'll give props to the CE squadron, though; they always had the best tent hooches. |

I might be doing it wrong but I can either stay mil-spec and put a mil-spec buffer and spring in or I the ability to customize my weapon and therefore have to size the buffer and spring to the custom rifle. It's not rocket surgery and certainly an experienced chair force engineer could figure it out ... or at least read the recommendations that are readily available. |
