Kalashnikov

Most produced? Yes. Most proliferated? Yes. Best in terms of economy for equipping poorly trained soldiers. Yes. It depends on the metrics you want to quantify.

i agree.although i really like a k's and sks's i wouldn't say they are the best rifles ever.i would say they are good enough for who they are for.......fn,hk i would bet are among the very top few% of truly great rifles.I'm thinking why not have some accuracy with your reliability?i do want an ak for the collection though.

I'm not bad mouthing the AK. It has proven itself. But I will argue that it's the #1 combat rifle in the world. And I think a lot of operators would agree.

It is a very great rifle and especially for what it's target user is. And to be honest, in a doomsday apocalypse situation, it would be a good choice due to it's durability and reliability.

my army (not the U.S. Army) with a rifle it would be the AK series. Price, availability and reliability. Can't argue with success :<)
When the majority of fighters use the "squirt mode" accuracy is not much of an issue.

100% daisy.i recently fell in love with ar pattern weapons,but I've always respected the user friendly dirt digesting ak.

Daisy cutter, as someone who owns more AK's than pawn shop I will definally agree with you. AK's were built with loose tolerances to avoid jamming. Because of this there accuracy suffered a bit. Milled receiver AK's are a bit more accurate than the stamped, yet weight more. I have had or may still have just about every version of AK made. I stopped posting pictures a while back, but posted my latest krinkov to show regulars on this board. I have several AR's as well, yet for close combat give me an ak.

I removed a lot of photo's from photobucket and here, don't want to advertise to the libs what ya have.
