Default AK or another AR?

Ok, I have been thinking about getting another Rifle, I have always liked the AK variants, yet I have also Liked the AR's, I have 2 AR rifles now, But I want another one. The problem I have is, I want an AK just as much but I can't do both. Now the obvious choice is just to get the AK, however that would mean that there is one more caliber that I have to keep stocked up on, now from what I can see the 7.62 is cheaper than the 5.56 but still I already have 4 different calibers to keep up with. Now I am not looking for tricked out rifles. These are the two I had in mind, A Yugo Ak-47 or a Stag. So what would you do? Get the Ak? or just stick with the AR for now and only have to worry about stocking what I already have?

So its either this



or this

AK!!! Then you have two weapons that fire the most popular battle rounds going. Your ready for anything (Bring on the Zombies). And no ones collection is complete without an AK.... I love both of mine.

Get the AK. When the ban hits again, we'll still be able to get the all-USA-made ARs.
None of the AKs are 100% US-made yet; they are all still parts-guns assembled to varying degrees of quality... and price. The imported parts availabilitys are already affecting different AKs being built.

Oh, and get the under-folder Yugo - they are fully-evil and the best AK for the buck, they can be seen in person at any gunshow or Dunhams.
