[QUOTE="Redneckbmxer24, post: 13676709, member: 34905"] For the most part the 7.62 ammo is better than the 5.45. Most of the 5.45 (all the super cheap surplus) is corrosive which means you need to thoroughly clean the whole system after you shoot it. The best way to do it is hose everything down with windex and flush it out with the garden hose. Let it bake in the sun and then re lube. The 7.62 is also a legal round to hunt big game with whereas 5.45 isn't in many states. There is also more ammo available for the 7.62. That said the 5.45 does have one advantage and that is recoil. You'll have to decide which you want. Personally I'm not a big AK fan, I have one and have had many others but I greatly prefer the AR platform. Just like the AR platform there are many grades. I know many will be butthurt but the Romanian AK's are pieces of shit... Sorry. They're unreliable for the most part and have poor quality parts. Egyptians and chinese are a bit better. Yugoslavian, polish, hungarian, and Bulgarian are mid-high grade and the best are Russian. Best build quality is Arsenal. At the end of the day a decent AK will cost you almost as much as a good AR, and good AK mags will cost you more than good (magpul) AR mags. Ammo is a wash as far as 7.62 and 5.56, yes brass cased is more but steel cased is the same and a good AR will eat it up. [/QUOTE]
