Stick to brass or nickle. It may be tempting to buy the steel because it's cheaper, but DO NOT, you will regret it.

If you buy an AK, it doesn't matter, anything will cycle through those things.

On a side note, the price of ammo has gone through the fricken roof out there. If you can find it at all, in most cases, it has at a minimum, doubled, in most cases tripled or more. Here is one example and it's for garbage, sure to jam your AR steel. https://www.bulkammo.com/1000-rounds...-wolf-55gr-fmj

I was in Cabela's a few minutes ago getting some fishing stuff and out of curiosity, wondered over to the ammo section. Their entire ammo section was cleaned out with the exception of some exotic rifle rounds and some 12 gauge. The best way I can think to describe it is, it looked like the grocery store toilet paper section after the rona first started.

I have sources where you can still get it (AK and AR) but you are going to take a beating in the wallet if you need it.

Thanks for the tips here Bawan, duly noted and appreciated. The toughness and durability of the AK is a definite plus.

The ammo situation is the same here. I have two shops that I go to once a week or so to see if they have .45 and 9mm. One of them lets me know what they have coming in and when so I'll pick up 200 at a time or whatever the limit is for that shipment. Once I get to 3000 rounds of each I'll stand by for prices to drop.
