For those of you that keep a handgun at the bedside, what kind of safe do you have, if any? I don't have kids and just live with my girl, but if my house got broken into I'd want to make sure my gun stays put.

Beware of larger-diameter cartridges with the AR-15. Since the external dimensions of the bolt stay the same, the rim at the bolt face must be thinner to accommodate the larger-diameter case of the 7.62x39, which causes this:What do yous think a good 7.62 would be to get? I don't know a lot about rifles. I've shot a ak but I like the ar type style better
I'd argue that ARa are cheaper than AKs now...seems like every AK I want they want 700 and up...paid for my AR 600 out the door...

I would expect this not to be an issue with AR-10 type rifles, which were designed from the ground up for the 7.62x51 NATO. I don't know what availability is like for AR-10s in that caliber, but I would assume it would be hard to find because AR-10s in general are much less common than AR-15s.
ALSO, I have read about issues with:
1) magazine performance due to the straight AR mag wells. Look at how curved a normal AK mag is, which is a function of the cartridge shape; an AR mag (and the mag well it goes in) is much straighter. This would affect AR-15s as well as AR-10s.
2) feed ramp needing modification to feed 7.62x39 reliably.
I don't own an AR, because I prefer AK-style rifles. They are cheaper (both rifle and ammo), more reliable, and were designed from the ground up to fire the 7.62x39 (which I prefer to 5.56×45mm NATO). While ARs edge out AKs in precise target shooting, for all practical defense applications under 150 yards, the AK is the better choice, IMO.
The one thing that always bugs me about AKs is the horrible sights. If you do get an AK, look for one that has rails (or one where they're easy to add, for example by swapping with grips that have them built in, etc) so you can add a red dot etc. I dunno why iron sights are always so bad on AK-style rifles...?
Perhaps milled vs stamped is the difference in price that @Velle23 mentioned.I too am looking at AKs, but are kinda pricy. A milled AK is priced a few 100s more than a milled AR. The stamped receiver variety of both are substantially cheaper of course.

But my refund got approved today so I'll be getting a $500 check in the mail that will go to buying an Aimpoint T-1 or a T-2 if I can find one at a good price.
You done any research on Trijicon's MRO?
A friend has one and I shot it and loved it. I have an AR chambered in 556 but with this lay out in 22LR it's straight up fun. I sighted it for him in about 10 minutes/easy to take apart/options for sights etc. Its hard not to mag dump on it because there's no recoil plus 22 is pretty cheap.Hey bros
Reviews on the m&p 15-22?
