Hi everyone
I’m a gun owner, I have pistols and a shotgun. I’ve shot rifles and really like the feel of 7.62mm, so I’m leaning towards getting a cheap SKS I could work on. My main purpose would be general range shooting and possible self-defense if stuff gets a lot worse.
I know the actual smart option would be getting a standard AR-15 because they’re so available, ammo is everywhere, and every gunsmith in America knows how to maintain them. But would it be worth it to save up for something like an AK if I’d prefer 7.62?
AR in .223 Wylde [5.56 + .223 blend chambering] is by far the most practical rifle in terms of anything for Americans. There will always be ammo and mags and parts and everything.
