BTW, you hear about the new thing (forgot the model name) H&K are working on? Supposedly it combined the accuracy of an AR and reliability of an AK. Saw it on Futureweapons with Mac burying it in the sand and then firing a few rounds.
Yes, a few years ago HK (and now several others) came up w/ a piston driven upper for the basic AR design that seems to be the answer to origial AR design (or at least most of it) problem. Their statement at the time was, "We have finally fixed the M-16 : ) ".
LUCKILY, HK being as smart as they are fixed yet another M-16 / AR-15 problem (actually Armalite did years ago first w/ the AR-10) and also designed this new piston driven upper of theirs in .308 : ), and I THINK it takes HK mags too! (the .308, the .223 obviously uses AR mags - duh)
BTW, I fixed my AR problem w/ piston driven upper for less than $600 bucks :O (????)
.................. I sold my AR and bought a .223 Kel Tec SU16 which is based on the basic AR design, but uses a piston driven action instead. : )
Easy answer to $1000 problem (if you bought a whole new piston driven non-HK AR, or if you just bought a piston driven upper ($600 alone) then you already obviously have an AR which you probably have at least just as much if not more in to begin with.
The KT SU16 was an easy pick, plus it uses AR parts and takes AR mags
I'd still take an AK into battle first though, or an M-14 / M1A.
