So far my main sporting rifles are a pair of SKS, now four AK derivatives added on.
Plinking is the only activity. We have no land, so no feral pig options in west TN, with no interest in bench rest shooting.
How would you describe the long-term operational reliability, but also the quality of internal steel components after 3,000 (+) rounds, for the lowest cost varieties of retail ARs having factory iron sights for under $650 retail?
Even an all-American AK clone now being built shows documented premature internal wear after only 1,000 rds. Hence the skepticism...
Let's be crystal clear that I have Zero interest in building a rifle, only contemplating a retail gun before next fall's possible panic. Want to be set for retirement next spring.
