Hi, For me AK1 all day, its amazing ! But I dont have a R1, so really best to ignore me, I am biased, lol. Heres a pic you have probably seen before, my AK1 with my Webley Nemesis. Both are excellent.  AK 1 and Webley Nemesis. by Steve Robinson, on Flickr Steve. |

I have had the Crosman SBR and I did like it but prefer the looks of the R1. I am leaning to the AK1 though. As for the Nemesis, I did own one but it was crap (mine was). |

My choice would be the R1 , purely on looks alone ( I believe its more powerful too). For me, at least , an AK must have either a wooden stock or metal folding stock( AKs ). This modern version doesn`t have the original silhouette that makes the rifle instantly recognisable, so it`s a NO from me.

You've been banging on about the AK for a good while now so it would be silly not to get one, the R1 is a nice gun but hey don't listen to me as I prefer the DPMS over the R1 (a personal choice rather than anything else). The logical answer would be to buy both.....! That way you know you got the right one, lol  |

I think the ak1 is meant to be a 103 with all the zenitco stuff on.
That's 12Ib of rifle in the real world!
You already have a rattler, get the AK to round it out.

I would have picked the R1. I prefer my AK old school, with wood stock and all that. 🤷🏻♂️
...a bit like sticking a moderator on a Winchester Underlever I guess! 🤣

Be a good alternative to the rubbish Junker 2. |

Be a good alternative to the rubbish Junker 2. Actually I think it looks like the AK-103 a bit more. This is a photo of the CyMA AK 103.  |

Maybe, it's hard to tell with the railed handguard. I think you're probably right though. 105 clone Junker 2 for comparison (definitely NOT the one you want if you actually shoot them)  |
