I am interested in purchasing either an AK or AR. I would like to know who makes the best models for both. Also what are the advantages and disadvantaged for both. The primary purpose of this weapon would be for the defending my family and our home. God forbid we ever need it...

Ak's are relatively poorly made, sloppy, cheap, and inaccurate by comparison, but require far less maintenance, and are generally more reliable and harder hitting then the AR.

Lower end ar's don't have that luxury.Armalite,bushmaster and colt
are the top three manufacturers of ar's; this is my opinion.If you
want to gather more information on ar's let me direct you to ar forum
and you will find a bunch of experts far more knowledgeable than me.
Happy shopping !
Within your parameters, and if money were no object, an AR with gas piston reciever in 6.8 mm would fill the bill quite nicely.
