Should I build a SHTF AR or a target shooting AR?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I've never had an AR jam with live rounds... that includes the old as fuck A2 that was put though some shit when I was in basic.
Then you haven't shot enough.
Meh,  enough to know that it doesn't happen a quarter as often as people seem to think. But then again, there is my brother who somehow, through the wonders of lowest bidder magazines, managed to get a goddamn triple feed during his first qual round.

Throw blanks into the thing and you jam more than the first round XM16's though, lol.
After doing a little research it seems like almost all jamming problems people have with ARs is due to crappy/cheap mags and/or cheap/crap ammo.

Because that routinely happens.

Any non-surplus AK you buy on the civilian market will be just as accurate with good ammo as an AR at a similar price. The AK's reputation for inaccuracy is based on POS rifles pumped out of drunken slav and chinese factories, and handed to durkas and shit farmers who don't know what aiming means. That, and an admittedly short sight radius (but that can be negated with a new dust cover).

Plus, 5.45 has objectively superior ballistics to 5.56

Don't forget all the carbon buildup. That contributes a lot. ARs shit where they eat.

From what I read, with simple maintenance of the rifle after you're done using it, that shouldn't be an issue.

Unless you are in a hist stress position where you continuously firing large amounts of ammunition with no time to disassemble and clean your rifle.

What's really the likelihood that you're going to be flying through that much ammunition without pause, anyway?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

I'd  be more concerned about my ammunition consumption at that point.
