Against popular opinion here: AK is better. Even though it is the essence of communism. Ya, you have to modify to have a bolt hold open. Ya the charging handle on the right side sucks even though the die hards tell you how good it is. But nothing is easier to take apart and put back together. And it uses a piston so it is less filthy after putting rounds down range compared AR. If you didn't need a damn hydraulic press to remove/mount barrels on AKs, I would be building those instead of ARs. The whole accuracy thing seems to be overrated too. My experience has been that you gotta sink a lot of coin into an AR to notice any difference in accuracy compared to AK. And when the comparison is with a 5.45x39 round instead of 7.62x39, there really isn't an accuracy difference.
The elevation adjust on the iron sights is good. But I don't use iron sights. Every day I wake up, my eyes suck that much worse. I'd be lucky to hit a 50% scale mock up of bill barr's gut after KFC using iron sights of any kind these days.
