If you go AR (Which you should)
I have a ZRODELTA Ready 1 and for a sub 700 dollar AR it's pretty nice, comes with a right side bolt release and their customer service has been good. Same company that bought Warsport so they also make a LVOA

If you go AK just get a cheap PSA AK and some ammo, with the money you save you can get a red dot and some wood furniture
