Ultimate goal someday - Arsenal milled underfolder

I know this won't make me very popular here, but I vastly prefer AK's to AR's. I'm not a world-renowned gun expert, but for any situation I'd find myself needing to use a gun to protect myself or hunt, I'd rather have the near 100% reliability of an AK, coupled with the larger diameter bullet. The few AR's I've had the chance to shoot have been finicky after not cleaning every 500-800 rounds, and I just don't have the confidence in a .22 bullet as a man-stopper.

That said, if I was target/varmint shooting, AR's are leagues above most AK's.
