Well now...

I like a good AR too. Hell I'm an AR15 armorer. My oldest son has a S&W MP15 that has a decent singe stage trigger and is quite accurate. Maybe I'll get around to owning one someday.

On the AK- $150 in the Zuke & MOE grip/forend, $100 in the Red Star (set up two stage, 1 pound second stage, next to no overtravel) and $117 in the sights. I got into the rifle comparatively cheap, before this most recent round of 'scary gun' stupidity. Lucked out and got one with a good center-bored barrel that responded well to crowning. I've fooled with a couple of AK's, trying to get them to shoot respectably, and this one responded better than any of them. Keeper pile.

I am far from a Magpul fan but the MOE forend is the best anybody's devised for the platform. The Zuke puts the sights under my eye instantly on mounting it and is sturdy as a fixed stock when locked. It all comes together to make it far easier to shoot well. Issue AK furniture makes my neck hurt from trying to contort an old corn-fed farm boy down into Biafran militia dimensions.

Previous target was shot over the back of a lawn chair. This one is the same distance and ammo, three careful shots, cold barrel from a decent rest.

PS- I'll get outta your AR thread now. Sorry about that ;)
