New Home Defense Rifle Suggestions
- Thread starter Trumpinator
- Start date
3/25/2025 right now AK type weapons are the most produced assault weapons over all assault weapons combined . Fifty years from now when gun powder powered weapons are passé and the standard police issue is pulse proton discharge weapons the ak will still hold that title . At around 1 am on 3/25/2050 it will still be doing illegal evil on the streets of chicago by hoodrats and maybe even by a yugo [maybe mine] made by sebian monkeys ,doubtful it will be my US made in NC by meth heads but now fixed .
Are you high ?

To-date, every high-volume course I have run or been at where AKs were present, they had malfunctions that distracted from training, or broke. These were all select-fire or European guns for the most part, that had no connection to the US private market.
The one exception was a Romanian import semi auto, which experienced a stuck case in the chamber, needed to be kick-started off a truck tailgate. That was Dr. Drew’s from Magpul out in the Pawnee Grasslands in Colorado in the 2000s.
The idea of an AK popping into my head as a home defense solution is so foreign to me, that I’m still trying to compute it. If it was all I had, then sure, but there are so many better options.

BCM full rifles are in stock in a number of places, like here, here, and on GB. Or get a BCM upper, which you can find in lots of places, and a BCM lower (I like the newer Mk2 lower with the A5-compatible buffer setup). The MK2 lowers are hard to find in stock, but if you get on the notifications list of a few of the larger dealers, they get some every few months.
BCM makes a great rifle but if I was buying today, its REALLY hard to beat a Geissele Super Duty for price/performance.
