@hunteraja Thank you for the reply, also what about remington's ACR its components are not as tight as the AR and it works with a gas piston. How do you think this system stacks up to the AKs (which i use as the standard for reliability).
@Inklebonker1 I have only shot direct gas ars.... Gas piston ar's do tend to be a little more reliable then Di's, so iv heard. They claim they run better then Di ar's over the long run and probably are. Ak's are still more reliable because of loose tolerances in the rifle. the gas piston makes the ars bolt stay cleaner but the tighter tollarances in a ar do make it less reliable then a ak. Also a ar with a gas piston will make it a little less accurate but not by much.
@hunteraja In your opinion (because you own both) is there a difference in reliability between the ak series and an ar with a gas piston design like the LWRCs or remington's rgp?
@esh325 idk iv taken the pins out with my finger its hard as hell but not Impossible iv had aks were gas blocks as so damn hard to get off i needed chanel locks to get it off... it all depends on quality. but are ars really that hard to take apart it took me maybe a hour to learn how to take it apart. people who say there complex probably cant get through the 3rd grade... i do agree on the sand part but they still can jam in it.
@hunteraja We were talking about taking the rifle apart. The AK does not need any apparatuses to be taken apart like the AR15 does. I wasn't saying the AK couldn't jam in sand, but I would say it does far better then other rifles.
@esh325 you need the cleaning kit in the butt stock to clean the rifle its a tool so is the cleaning rod. aks do jam in sand all guns do.. if sand gumms up your trigger your rifle will jam. also to take the fireing pin apart you need a pin. its not nesecary for basic cleaning... i just like to clean my rifles like someone with ocd. aks are not unstopabul they can break.
@hunteraja You don't need tools or a round to do a basic field strip on an AK to clean it. I've seen that video, that test is rigged. I have a video where a guy put even more sand in the receiver and the AK only has one misfire out of 30 rounds.

@hunteraja Yes, getting the gas tube off some time needs a hammer. The AR really isn't anymore complex then most rifles.

@hunteraja the M16's take down pins are designed to be able to be pushed out with pressing with the 5.56 NATO round.

M16 is more accurate. In real life thats what counts.
