Be careful when shopping for an AK. I've seen lots of junk out there in the last couple years.

I have both. I have my AK almost looking like a AR with Red Dot and tactical light in front. The only problem with my AK is after 75 yards I can not keep a close grouping. Now with my SKS my grouping is fine even past the 100 yard mark. But to address the issue of home deffence, you should in my oppinion use neither. This is my reasoning. I'm not a hunter but August of last year I went on a wild boar hunt and took my SKS. This was my first hunt ever so I did alot of reading about a wild boar. Everything I read is that they are built like a Shernan Tank. Well my bullet passed all the way through this pig like it was nothing. If it did this to the boar imagine if you had to shoot an intruder. It might pass through him and keep on going passing through the walls of your home and hitting a love one.
