I've only owned AR's, so...AR. I'll get an AK someday, and then I might change my mind.
Same here.

AR.
I have both and had AKs before owning ARs.
You can carry twice as much 5.56
I have an HBAR that has virtually no recoil. Never shot an AK that was even close in that respect.

I'll bury my AK with the ammo and shoot the AR til I run out of ammo and dig up the AK and shoot it

Poll is meaningless for several reasons :-( The main thing is it is trying to trick people into giving their opinion on something not squarely stated. What's SHTF? A riot? Zombies? Katrina?
What is the rifle for? Hunting? Fighting mimes? A long range session while you wait out the in-laws visit?
Are you solo? Or do you have buddies? How about a supply train? Both of these weapons were not designed with the idea that Jerimiah Johnson would be using them--they are military weapons designed for use within a team setting. A really big team in the case of the Russians!
Anyway I haven't picked up an AR yet, so obviously I voted AK, but give me a year or so :-)

Ill take my aks...both of them...so i have 762 and 556 
and considering the 1/2" groups at 50 yards i was getting with pmc bronze out of my saiga 223 ill say its accurate enough...still need to pick up some more for 100 yard testing

Sortofmy philosophy if I am sheltered in place ill exhaust my 7.62x39
If I am on the run I will take the 5.56 ak. I have two so me and the old lady can share mags and if necessary the parts can be cannabalized into one. Or I might just go ar, people criticize but they are simple interchangeable and can be lubed with bear grease
if the AR is lubed it will run dirty no problem id take the AR, more commonly used and ammo would be more readily avaliable
Yup I hate to say it I have never had an armament that wasn't mag related or stupidity,

AK cause it's what I am familiar with. Maybe in 5.45 though with a Mosin and can hidden somewhere.
I keep trying to batteries in my carry handle irons but they just don't seem to work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
AR. For one, the ammo SHOULD weigh less and if I'm walking, that matters. Two, this is a NATO country, 5.56 should be easier to get more of.

Ugh, once again the running out of 7.62x39 makes me want an AR in 5.56

Joppa - We've been over this before, the batteries go in the muzzle device - how else do you expect it to kill the flash...

Don't go bringing logic into this now.
