Keep the AK or sell it and buy/build an AR15?

The DI system usually isn't the problem. A clean AR will almost always shoot straight. From what I've seen, the problem is usually the magazines. If you see a surplus one with the circle K on the bottem, lose it. I had two that always had failure to feed. The only reason I suggest a piston design is because it's cleaner.

Not to be a smartass or disrespectful but any gun can run like a champ when it's clean. I do make it a point to maintain my guns very well but all the guns I own are also just as reliable without that maintenance. I do own a couple ARs, one of which being a very high end piston gun, but they aren't my go to for when I need a gun that I can put my life behind.

I'll only be buying soft point and hollow point ammunition. 99% of ranges in the DFW area have banned all FMJ rifle ammunition, and the other 1% do not allow steel core surplus ammo. Unfortunately I am stuck having to go pay to shoot at a range, wish I had a bunch of land to go shoot at.
