Fwiw, am a really thrifty/frugal broke near hermit

Depression’s improved to the point I’m not concerned with it being a risk to myself and am currently nogunz except for varmint air guns

Considering dropping like two grand on a nice rifle ak47 and equipment and training with it alongside my gym routinelady-doge

Debating getting either a KUSA KR-101X or a Keltec RFB and an optic and chest rig/plates and pouches, spare mags, etc for either

The KR-101X is a 5.56 AKM/74 clone that takes AR mags and looks pretty good from what I’ve seen, the RFB is a .308 bullpup DMR (I’m kinda a tankie and a big Halo dork, so both have their appeals)

Live in a state with a 10 round mag restriction, so that’s leaning me towards the RFB.

Thoughts?

Dunno if there’s a loophole for larger mags or a SBR “pistol” janet-wink that might be a better option

Am I being a dumbass?

Should I get a pistol or a .22LR plinker first? Should I not drop a used car price on a rifle I might never have to actually use aside from playing at the range and running drills as a hobby?

    Everyone already told you not to buy an ak for a million good reasons, let me add another:

    The cmmg ar 22lr bolt conversion.

    You pop the upper off, pull the bolt out, put in the conversion and you can feed cheap 22lr out of its specialty magazines.

    It’s not as accurate and can wear your barrel (people say, I haven’t experienced anything) and the gun doesn’t handle exactly the same, but for some kind of handling training and practice it really makes things cheaper and can help people get over the loudness and controls hump.
