Default Re: AK or SKS

AK... It's no accuracy champion, and certainly just a plinker or short-range hunting weapon. But well, so is the SKS....

The AK's perk list is short for me, ending at the detachable magazine. My choice was an American-made AK with 7 US compliance parts (only 6 are needed), not including the American-Made magazine (which makes 10 total compliance parts). The guns are rugged and very dependable. I would not get a WASR that has been machined to accept double-stack mags but that's just me. While I have no experience personally with them, I've heard of magazine feeding problems and can completely understand this from the mechanics standpoint.

This is just my opinion and as always with opinions... Well, you know...
