I had to vote 5.56 only because I don't have anything in .30/06. I have 5.56, 6.8 and .308.

1) Ammo and sling. 2) Red Dot and BUIS. 3) Rails/VFG/Light if you desire. 4) More ammo. Cheers and congrats.

Go with the "medium" to "high" price guns. Find them used to save the $ and personally inspect before purchase. AK's are simple to field test. High price does not always mean good quality, and low price mean junk either. One can purchase a lightly used MAK-90 for example for $300-400. They...

I'm obviously biased, for I created this potoshop: Besides an M1A, I would say an AK or AR. Multi-purpose weapons.

2 of everything.

All furniture mods done by me. A Dremel and a few hours of work. Done purely for looks only, not practicality. I am not the only one that has had trigger slap problems with VEPR's. Some do, some don't. The slap on 1 was worse than the other I had. One was fixed with a little buffing and...

Agreed that the best accuracy aid is practice, practice, practice. Good equipment helps a lot, too. Most rifles will outshoot their shooters any day. -THS

I think they should just change the caliber, not the AR platform. The AR's only true weakness is it's cartridge. An AR in .308 is too heavy, so why not go with the 6.8 Rem SPC, or 6.5 Grendel? Because of all the surplus ammo out there. Solution: Sell off the surplus 5.56 ammo in the...

I've had 2 different VEPR's. Both in 7.62x39mm, and both developed heavy trigger slap. Although fixable, I didn't expect it from a "quality" AK build. They are highly accurate for AK's, but another frustrating thing about them is they only accept their own stuff. Stock sets, etc. Krebs can...

I call these my "AKR's". Krebs Custom KTR03S's, one in black, and one in Green. If you like the AK action, but want the AR doo-dads, here you go. -THS

1) HK Tactical .45 2) S&W 629, 4" 3) Hammerli Trailside .22 4) Glock 26 5) S&W Mod. 60 .357 snub 6) Kimber Gold Match

I agree on the 18". You will get better performance of the .308 out of the 18" bbl, it needs at least that much to maintain velocity / burn potential. I also think the rifle looks more balanced in the scout squad size, even over the full size. -THS
