I own an AR15, do I need an AK-47?

[JNunez23]

From the look of the pics, YES!!!

You don't need an AK.

You need 2 or 3 AK's.

I own an AR-15, the AK-47 seems like a very cool gun to own to diversify the collection but do I need one if I already have an AR15? My collection is a variety of guns that are great shooters (i.e. Glocks, M&P9 & M&P40, 1911's, GSG 1911 .22, Ruger MKIII .22, S&W 22S Target .22, two Ruger 10/22's, Browning BAR's & HiPowers, S&W Revolvers, Colt Revolvers, Remington BDL 30-06 and a 742 Woodsmaster .308, and a Noveske AR15 N4 Light MOE, some shotguns, etc).

...if "Yes", what brand is a great bang for the buck, authentic look/wood furniture... I think I know the answer to the question though, WASR...

Umm, dude? Sounds to me like you already know that you do indeed "need" an AK.

I asked myself the same questions and ened up with an AK47. Just not sure I am going to keep it. Its nice and shoots great, but I like the AR platform over the AK. I think I will have to build a 7.62X39 AR to go with the 5.56 and 5.45 AR's I have.

Yea get it

While my collection is in its beginning stages, I'm researching to buy or build an AK or AR. I'm leaning toward the AK first, and the link below was VERY helpful in my search. Read up, and good luck!

You need two AKs. A 47 and a 74, and a few more ARs.

I got both too Cuz I like the AR but:

AK74 FTW. Just convert a Saiga. Its cheap, easy, brand new, Russian, and 98% an AK. 74 because it will be MUCH more accurate, thus you will not be so torn from your AR's accuracy. It is cheap, online everywhere, no recoil.

A great gun. Go buy one.

Everyone needs an AK. Everyone.

[C.W.M.V.]

Get the 47, then get the 74!

Honestly I like AKM's better than AR's, but I am more comfortable and proficient with the AR (thanks uncle sam).
But there is no getting around the AKM being a cool freakin rifle!

[monorailboy]

Simple answer...you "need" every gun you buy !!!

[DinoPJR]
