So with a fat tax return on the horizon, it's time for me to pick up a new firearm. Maybe.
I currently have a Yugo M70 underfolder, WitnessP 10mm, CZ P-07 duty, and a Benelli Supernova. My main uses for these guns (aside from the obvious SHTF and personal freedom) is for plinking and some simple tactical drills a la Nutnfancy. However, I've thought about getting into 3 gun and multi-gun competitions.
Now, my M70 is bare-bones stock. I've also put about 1k rounds through it. The fact that it is so used and lacks a chrome barrel is starting to worry me a bit as to how long it'll last. I haven't noticed any degradation in accuracy or use, however. I've got to say I love AKs, and am not a fan of the AR platform. It's just not for me.
My options are thus:
1. Get an arsenal AK and equipment to get it up to spec. This would most likely involve selling my M70.
2. Get an SU-16C + nice optic and a ton of 5.56, keep the M70.
3. Keep the M70, and get the upgrades to bring it up to snuff (optics, rail,), buy a ton of 7.62 ammo, and get a mossberg 930spx for aforementioned competitions.
4. M1A. It's my dream gun, but I worry about the weight and cost of ammo.
Thanks for all the help and feedback in advance!
