A friend of mine (justin_ws) just shot an AK for the first time during New Years and seemed to really enjoy it. He seems to have got the assault rifle bug now, but is curious as to what his options are. While he did like the AK, he also likes the AR-15 too, but is not thrilled with the idea of spending $1000 for one. However at the same time he is willing to spend a bit more money than what a typical AK costs for something a little bit "nicer". By nicer I'm assuming my friend means more accurate and less crude than the typical AK.
After reading a previous thread on here I suggested that he think about purchasing an upper and lower separately and building his own AR-15 for under well $1000. Unfortunately he doesn't strike me as the type of person that would attempt to cobble an AR-15 together on his own so I doubt that's an avenue that he will pursue.
I suggested that he look at an M1 carbine, but other than that I couldn't really think of any other assault rifles that fill the gap between an AK and an AR. Any suggestions?
