Need your input, experience, etc.
The itch for an AR15 has been getting worse and worse, and I see a limited window of opportunity to get one. Someone at the local range let me shoot one, which really got this ball rolling. It didn't help that the EOTech he had on top made it so easy to hit POA at 50 yards...
In order to get an AR and keep peace at home (gotta sell one to get one rule), I have to sell my SKS (Norinco), accessories and case of ammo, and put it toward the new rifle. Adding similar/same cash could also get me close to a SKS M, WASR, or AK, which allows me to keep the case of 7.62x39, as opposed to finally getting an AR but having to start building up ammo again. The frustration with the SKS fixed magazine and duckbill detachable magazines are the motivating factors here. If there is another economical 7.62x39 rifle that accepts AK mags I'm not aware of, I'll accept going that route over the AR to save money.
If my estimations above are completely off, or you see other options, please educate and enlighten me.
Thank you for your time.
