    Both are nice firearms, Both have parts and accessories galore. SKS's in general are more accurate, but that depends on witch model you compare a SKS to a AK with. SKS's seem to be a little cheaper. Nether is a tack driver at 100yrds but with the right ammo and a little tuning up 3" groups is not out of the question. I have a few of each and have done trigger jobs on all of them and shot cheap ammo and accuracy is never a issue with none of them. Both are very fun fire arms to shot. So my suggestion would be to get both.

    oh, he meant a RIFLE.

    they are totally different, only sharing the same ammo and quality (?) of workmanship.

    i like the SKS a lot and if you don't mind loading stripper clips, they are a blast. SKS are usually cheaper too, and hardier IMHO, although in actual combat conditions I'd rather have a high quality AK.

    for a general all around plinker rifle I have owned and loved the SKS.
    They are milled receivers, simple to field strip, virtually indestructable and a blast to shoot.
    The better SKSs have milled trigger groups also.
    With a stock change and proper scope mounted they can be accurate enough to hunt with.

    The AK is a great rifle in the battlefield and for a fun shooter/collectable.

    Both are great at doing what they were designed to do...

    Prefer the SKS for more accurate fire..better stock style IMHO

    the AK is great to dump a lot of lead down range..

    rear sights suck on both...prefer a US style peep sight any day

    either one is very reliable...can't lose either way...

    matter of personal preference

    AK has my vote all the way for a fun shooter. Easier to reload, tons of silly tactical upgrades available, and relentless reliability.

    Norinco made a rifle with an AK milled receiver. Best of both worlds. Saw one at a gun show in Collinsville Illinois last Sunday. Good luck finding one like that.

    I don't complain about an AK's accuracy, but mine is a red headed step child of the AK family.

    Welcome aboard, I think your question is a matter of prefrence, and the AK is usually more expensive. I have both, the AK is more fun for me to shoot. Good Luck!!

    depends on what you want to get done. if you don't want to spend the $$ and "just want a rifle", go with a bone stock SKS. you'll be happy with it.

    I prefer to use my AK's more than my SKS. I like my AK's a lot more as well.

    Depending on if you can own them in your state. I like the AK which is being slapped together in a company in Texas. SKS if you can't get an AK in your state.
