Iron sights: AR wins. Optics:AK+AR tie
The AR is -barely- more accurate in the same price range. I'll put my 210 dollar, well prolly 280 all togather rifle against any AR under 700 bucks.
I can sit down, with a 1000 rounds and every single time. using the nastiest ammo I can find, I've never had any jams. No stovepipes, no anything. Every single round. 5 minutes later she was cleaned and put away.
I love the AK post for fast shooting at close range, but its really not too great beyond 75 yards. Could I hit a man sized target with an AR at 200 yards with iron sights? Sure could. Could I do it with an AK, sure. Could the AK group as tightly as the AR at that range, sure could with optics.

On the bench, with a clean barrel on the expensive stuff it does 1.5". The sights are the limiting factor here however, at that range anyway. The front sight is simply too large for me.

You need to cut a tab off or so I'm told but to be perfectly honest I find the saiga forestock extremely comfortable. It was going to be the first thing I changed but, man its sorta like an old nasty couch. Sure it may look like sh*t, but it sure is comfortable.

Be sure to get a double lock underfolder, the good Russian stuff and not the single lock knockoffs.

Thanks With some more practice I'm hoping to break into 9-10 rings in 5 seconds and dip under from there. Really I'm just miffed about the horrible reputation the AK's sights have. I happen to find it easy to hit what I'm aiming at. Cans never last long at the 47 yard mark. C'mon Stoner surely you have some targets to throw up?

Armalite announced, no go for the folding stock. ACE is making one though. Anyway if I buy a new AR-180 then can it eat AR-180 mags and NATO m16 mags then?
I'd be buying new here, I just see the justification for 800 bucks. I could build a DSA fal on my own receiver for that much scratch.

I've been wanting an AR-180 forever and a day. Accurate, light, not an AR-15 and has a side folding stock. I've got a few questions however.
1.I've heard back and fourth that they do/do not need special mags. Do they take AR-15 mags or what?
2.Have one? Is it easy to clean?
3.What'd you pay for yours out the door?
4. Anything ya DONT like about the rifle?
Feedback -please-?
