Thinking about one so tell me why or why not. Cheap ammo can still be found. Just looks like something to ad to the selection. AR upper or AK.

Thinking about one so tell me why or why not. Cheap ammo can still be found. Just looks like something to ad to the selection. AR upper or AK. AK or SKS. Unfortunately they ain’t so cheap these days. I have a milled Arsenal that eats all that steel case combloc ammo like Pac-Man. The AR upper dealios are finicky by comparison. The CZ 527 isn’t a bad option for a bolt gun. The Ruger Mini 30’s are ok but they don’t eat the cheap steel case like an AK or SKS. I have been shooting more 7.62x39 since the ammo famine started to the point I’m going to pick up another stick to shoot it out of ASAP.

I would suggest AK but get in now. What was a $400 WASR a few years ago is now some $1100 collector's item.
Pass the gravy.

Built me an AR-47 in 2018. Love it but I imagine that would be very hard to do right now. If you can find a CZ 527 bolt gun I am guessing it would sell for $600 +/- and be a very good choice. I have a 223 version and everybody loves to shoot it.
It's not what you say, or think, that counts. It is what you DO!

I put together an AR-47 once. Palmetto was marketing a lower that took AK mags. That’s the way to go. AR-15 type precision with the feeding reliability of the AK mags. I hand loaded with 1680 and 123 projectiles. I could get 3/4” out of it. Other than that, I used cheap wolf, etc. those would to my utter surprise do close to 3/4”, but by 150 yards they would open up quite a bit. My hand loads would stay tight out to 150 though.

I've shot a Wyndham AR-47, it's run flawless with any ammo I've put through it.

The bolt and magazine are the key on a functional AR47. Just buying an AK is the key to one of them functioning 99% of the time.

I deer hunt with a PSA upper in 7.62 and use CMC mags. Never had a problem yet.
