Anyone here into firearms?

That is correct...I am looking to buy an AK with a folding stock, but now I am trying to decide between a AK-47 (7.62mm) or AK-74 (5.45mm) clone. I have read that the 5.45 round has better ballistics and is much more accurate but is less available. I wanted to go to the gun show this weekend to see if there was any bulk 5.45 ammo around but didn't make it, so I wanted to see from the rest of you if you have found it hard to get your hands on such ammo.

Sorry, my bad.

I would rather buy/build an AR than get an AK, though.

Yeah, I am becoming a lot less gung ho about an AK especially since if I were to get the good caliber it would almost defeat the reason for owning an AK. Instead I might buy a Ruger Mark III Hunter which in my mind would make a superb target and survival firearm. Colorado is rich with squirrels, rabbits and ground hogs and I can carry 2000 rounds in my back pocket (which would cost $8.99 at Walmart). I could use it for food and use my AR for the two-legged predators in some hypothetical survival situation. Plus both types of ammo are plentiful in the US.

Speaking of buying AND building an AR; Here is the final incarnation of my new LMT gas piston rifle:

16” LMT Defender 2000 MRP CQB gas piston
Geisselle Super Semi-Automatic trigger
BCM Gunfighter charging handle
BAD *** (safety selector) lever
Troy Industries Ambidextrous magazine release
Magpul MBUS Front GEN 2 sight
Magpul MBUS Rear GEN 2 sight
Magpul RVG front grip
Magpul BAD lever (ambidextrous bolt carrier release)
Magpul MOE grip
Magpul aluminum trigger guard
Magpul CTR Restricted butt stock
Trijicon RMR red dot scope
BattleComp 1.5 Black Oxide compensator

Last week I purchased a post 1950, pre 1968 Walther PPK, in 7.65mm or 32ACP. I have wanted this since I read and watched James Bond as a kid. I have had many PPK/S and 380 ACP pre and post 1968 models, but this is Bonds Caliber.

I told a guy what I just bought and said you want to buy my WWII PPK for $25 less? Heck yeah.

So in one week I accquired two PPK 7.65 pistols, after waiting forever.
