> If they made a semi-auto 7.62.x39 based on a Vector platform (or action at least), I’d be all over it. One thing that always bugged me about AR is that clunky bolt-spring mechanism that has to be housed in the stock, despite it being gas operated. AK and most others don’t have that issue.

I couldn’t care less about the AR buffer tube, spring, and buffer being in the stock since we can’t have folding stocks here in NY unless pre-ban, plus nowadays it legitimately is a superior firearm platform. Long gone are the days of the AKs being more reliable given current technology going into the AR.
