If you can't clean it every month... buy an ak. If you want to be able to bury it in a trash bag dig it up 10 years later and fire it without cleaning... buy an ak.
If you want cool rails, gear, and a short barrel, buy an ar. If you want accuracy and low recoil... buy an ar.
I dispute the accuracy part unless you are building a precision rifle.
AKs are accurate when used as AKs are intended. Especially the new 100 series stuff which you can get 100% US made. Unlike the AR platform they are not simple upper-swap away from being long range toys, but they are badass semi auto rifles that have seen far more war than any number of SCAR/ACR/gimmick rifles.
Check AKOU, ak operator's union. Hes a former Polish soldier when it was still commie. He loves America and a yuge 2A proponent. 1pHe puts aks through the ringer, 5k rounds, dropping them over and over, submerging them in swamp water. He tore up the gen2 PSAK and the listened to him and made great improvements for the gen3.
5.56x45 is almost exactly half the weight of 7.62x39, and .300 blackout, which is arguably pretty close performance-wise to 7.62x39, is only about 20% heavier than 5.56.
One of the downsides of being a civilian is that when you yell "AMMO!", nobody brings you any.
Commie lies, Direct impingement gas system is far superior for mud and dirt. It blows the mud out the receiver with every shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAneTFiz5WU The less area for mud and dirt to get in the better, AR wins hands down. AR is lighter, more accurate, less recoil, more deadly with right rounds and can carry more rounds. Eugene Stoner (PBUH) knew the AKs weaknesses and designed the AR around this. THERE is literally no reason to own an AK except if you are one of those people that think the Katana is superior due to muh nippon folded steel weeb types. AKA easily manipulated or biased. Besides AR there are many other Euro weapons that are superior, I would take a p90 any day of the week over AK, especially with military rounds.
Not Ak's, fren. Those are ancient communist weapons.
The only thing socialism created that actually works!

Thats a fair point. There's not much chance of operating these things in burst for a civilian application, so I concede the point.
However, full auto or burst ak is notoriously low accuracy after the first shot.

Also if you have to lug your own ammo, buy an AR.

LOL
NATO 7.62. Used in the FN and the good old M-14. Yes, it's heavy and a pain in the ass, but you only need to hit the target once.

I'd buy an older AK or SKS for its collector value.
I would not use it in a war,
I would not buy it in a store,
I do not like the black AR,
It is not from USSR.
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am
I much prefer the Abakan.
Would you like it from the states?
Or would you like a snowy place?
Would you like to shoot it fast?
Or would like it from the past?
I’m sure you’ll like a new AR,
And not something from the Czar.
I would not use it in the mud,
I would not use it to spill blood,
I do not like Gene Stoner’s gun
I don’t find maintenance to be fun.
The only rifles that I love
Come from Mikhail Kalashnikov

Not socialism. Russians. The soviets were actually good at making weapons, unlike the chinese.
sorry I will take my AK into battle before i grab the AR....sorry but it's the cold hard truth.....
If I'm going commie, I'm going VSS. Expensive but effective, the American way!
Based on german STG-44's engineering.
Based Germans knew whats up. 100 years before we did.
Use their own tools against them.
