| I want to get a new AR.... still deciding which(my last post)to get. I pretty much have 2 options to choose from. Either sell my Romanian G-code AK, which I really don't shoot much, toward a new AR.... Or.... Keep the AK and wait it out, keep saving, until I can get the AR |

Quoted:
I have seen it numerous times. People will sell their guns hoping to get them back later only to never see them again. I'd keep the AK. The way it looks, by the time you get the money for the AR, the prices might be lower than the prices right now. this |

If the AK shoots good and the site is not canted and all that junk keep it and get an AR later.
Maybe buy some P-Mags now if you can. Get just a stripped receiver also if you can and build it slowly as money allows. 7.62x39 is not cheap now either. But at least with the AR you can get a .22 kit. |
| My friend had a Romanian AK and I bought a box to run through it. I was able to hit a .6" wide strip on a computer case from 50 Yrds. about 70% of the time. It kind of shocked me as at the time I thought of the AK as a spray and pray weapon. It wasn't really that bad.... I just got my AR sighted in last night. I could have saved money going AK, but I chose the AR because of its ammo compatability with the Army, National Guard, Police. You see we have a Muslim land about an hour away. It is patroled on the boarder by AKs in a jeep. An aquaintance of mine was detained there for a bit just for delivering a rental refrigerator. Also in 2002, an exterminator found about 200 AKs in a house of an arab here in the area. The big mosk in the area is 1.5 blocks away. I neaded the AK for IFF. I don't want to be making the wrong bark when the need may arise. |

Save for the AR, but don't neglect ammo and mags for the AK. IMHO.

Keep what you have and buy NOTHING now.
People buying now are like home buyers who bought at the height of the real-estate market. In a year or so, after the Obama scare dies out, prices will be back to normal. Not only will you have normal dealer prices but you will have a ton of guys on here trying to dump excess expenditures on the EE. |

I regret getting rid of every gun I've ever sold. This is a real no shitter! Dont sell any gun....never ever! Just build as money allows. Myself and many many other have been able to do the same on a budget. Do what you want though !! just two cents worth ! |
| Keep the AK if you can, but if I could only have one of the two, it would be an AR. Don't have to rock the magazines in. Can change barrel lengths or change to different calibers only by pushing a couple pins. Can change parts without worrying about 922r compliance nonsense. Prices for AK mags seem to have gone up higher than prices for good AR mags. |

Myself and many many other have been able to do the same on a budget. Do what you want though !! just two cents worth ! I've sold two firearms in all and one of them I regret sell the other I didn't mine. I sold a Taurus PT-99 AFS a year ago and that I didn't mine even though that was my first firearm. The second transaction, I sold a Sig Sauer P220R earlier this month. I felt okay in the beginning but now a couple weeks later I wish I didn't sell it. Now I want another P220R even though I bought a Glock 30 to replace that pistol  .
