Don’t keep that M/AR clean and see what happens.




This is overblown, imo. Yes the AK has looser tolerances and should be/is better in dirty conditions, but ARs have come a long way since Vietnam. BCM had one ("filthy 14") go somewhere around 60,000 rounds without cleaning with only a couple ftfs. The bottom line is, AR or AK, you want a good one for shtf. I stick with Arsenal AKs and BCM ARs, although there are other great makers/importers of both. In ARs I want hammer forged barrels and barrels/bcgs that are hpt/mpi and made from the best alloys. These will hold up for a long time in the harshest conditions.

Its way more fun to build one, every part. You can control quality all the way through. I put together a 223 version and a 308 version, spent about 4 grand on the parts. Can't beat the quality.
