Didn't oil it or clean it before I started either. Del ton makes great guns. They get a lot of shit but they make quality stuff. (I wish they'd get into the 308 game!) But still the point of my argument was not to discredit the ARs but to place an example of AK reliability. Which is and always will be much more reliable and durable than an AR. I don't believe this can be denied. ARs are built to be light and deadly accurate. AKs were built to throw big ass bullets and never stop working. I only shared the torture test I had done first hand there are much better test and the result are available on YouTube. For instance an ak can be fully loaded with dirt poured into the loaded mag tossed in a muddy river dragged through the mud then after all that it'll fire a perfect mag dump. There's not an AR on the planet that'd do that. I just wouldn't do that to my gun so I didn't feel right quoting it. My point is... AKs and ARs have different qualities. In a shtf scenario the AK is built more to accommodate hard times rough terrain and no cleaning supplies while one the run. And basically for civilian domestic use against any force I can't think of a scenario that would require shooting over 200-300yards. At the higher distances (where the difference between ak and ar shows) you'd likely just hide successfully than try to one man army against... a real army. So the AK wins. Target shooting at the range goes to the AR. For use inside a military squad with other backing you I'd go AR. But if its just you and maybe another guy or two AK every time. This conversation doesn't belong on this thread though so I hope all curiosities and questions have been answered and it stops here. Not to be insulting or say "I win" but this is a picture posting topic not an AK-VS-AR posting. If you really think my points aren't valid do some research and the truth will reveal itself. And just FYI posting anti-ak pro-ar stuff on a AK based forum is always gonna start flame wars. So just try to resist please. It is common knowledge that the AK is likely the most reliable weapon ever created and the history channel and their thousands of dollars of research totally backs that claim up. So please. Let this be done and over with at least within this topic. If you want to further talk about it start an AR vs AK topic and ill throw down on that. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phalanx07 1 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 My first Saiga 7.62 conversion... It went WAY easier than I had anticipated. After shooting it for the first time(pre-conversion) I quickly realized that compared to my old WASR, this is a FAR superior weapon!!! The whole family... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tool_of_Society 15 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I tried putting the red dot on the quad rail and it made the gun feel way too nose heavy. I might end up putting it back there once I get used to the added weight of the quad rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
