Featureless: AK or AR?

[Moonshine]

OK after reading a lot of posts I'm sold on the featureless idea. I was thinking either an A2 20" type rifle because all I would need to do is install a muzzle break and grip wrap, or an AK because all I'd need would be the grip wrap (few come with hiders).

The AK is cheap, comming in at $575 (plus I get the evil bayonet oh my) but I've heard mixed reviews about the WASR-10... this will be a fun gun.

I'd probably frankenbuild the AR to keep the price down and much of it would be PSA based on a Tactical Innovations lower. Then just add the old Bushmaster Izzy brake I found laying around (still needs to be finished it's ugly unfinished) and grip wrap.

Which would be more fun as a featureless? I know as a bullet button rifle the AR-15 platform is WAY easier to enjoy and reload plus there's many more fun evil features (my 16" M-4 franken AR bullet button build has maximum evil features), but what about a featureless?

Unless the AR has the Hammerhead I would have to say a Featureless AK is easier to handle.

Cmon seriously?
Gonna go there huh?
Ok i'll bite,
AK wasr is good
Saiga can be featureless.
AR? Hmmm I just did another ar and it p!$$e$ me off everytime I take it out.
But if you like AR's get an AR!
If you like AK's get an AK!
Now let the AR praising begin....

That's actually what I was thinking too... particularly duing reloads. You also don't have to add anything like a brake. I've already got an AR so some variety would be fun.

@lil-jackal
I have both but in my case both one is useless, today is the second day in a row that it shut down on me, and the casing was stuck in the chamber.
Bet you cant guess which one lol.

I think you've already answered it yourself.

I have two featureless AKs, both work great. IMO an AK should be featureless since all the BB solutions are kind of a PITA to operate.

Funny how you are the biggest AK fan on the forum and you always have something negative to say about AR15s. Pray tell, what are the details of this rifle, how meticulously do you (not) maintain it, and what ammunition are you using?

He didnt change the oil and filter every 20 shots as per manufacturer recommendation

I won't torture my AR!
First day I took it out fully lubed, ran about 100+ rounds of 62gr steel case then it wouldnt eject the shell. Had to use the cleaning rod to knock it out. 3mags later same thing.
Took it home cleaned it GOOD, took it out yesterday shot 1mag, on second mag same thing.
Disclaimer. I love my ar the same as I love my AK's! When I wanna shoot the ear off a squurrel i'll grab the AR, when I wanna have fun I grab the A o K!
Sorry z this AR is staying, part of me thinks I just need to break the upper in a lil bit.

Can't speak to as which would be more fun, just wanted to share we did up an AR featureless a couple years ago and enjoy the hell out of it. I'm older, and we've had an AR and 30rd mags for many years, so love the opportunity to run the featureless in Tac Carbine classes.

I think you'd have fun with either one...

All good. I'm needing to pick up something for 3 gun, need to have some better 200 yard accuracy for clays.
