Own variations of both and definitely agree with your assessment. I remember dirt cheap SKS, although not under $100, am sure I saw them just wasn't paying as much attention to prices then, shame on me... certainly recall $200-300 prices for a long while and have a few of those.

One cool thing on the AR platform that I never really got into (and I guess some of the newer AK frames can as well) but there is now an entire cottage industry in modifying ARs to turn it into almost any type of firearm you want in multiple calibers, as I'm sure you know.

Initially in the 2000s I sort of laughed with my dad and some dealer buddies to watch out, everyone will SWAT-ize their AR15s. And that happened to a portion of the market. But also saw how some friends customized them into cheaper shooting calibers for marksman practice. And most interesting was visiting states where the AR15 is allowed for various types of hunting and people had customized for the caliber and style of firearm they wanted to hunt with. It clearly demonstrated the versatility of the platform and shows why it's been such a popular seller this century.
