I would honestly go glock and ar since the market is flooded with parts; you can get enough parts to maintain the guns through some generations.
I am very fond of my cz sp01 tactical and ak74m for the time being, though I know the cz is prone to parts breakage and the ak74m has very few options available for critical parts replacement (mainly barrel, probably bolt too). -

Glock 17 is a really great gun and can be easily converted to auto. The sights are perfect and it cycles smoothly. Heard good things about glock 26 too. We fux with the norinco type 81's in Canada which are basically the same as an AK but slightly heavier and 1 or 2 other diffs. 1911's are just perfect and metal and reliable (and customizable).
But you're right, parts are key but FN's can use any m16 part's even dating back to the 1950's. German engineering man -

Never seen a type 81 in person, but it looks more like an SKS than an AK.
As far as AKs go, changing the barrel is a huge pain in the dick unless you have some nice fucking tools. You need a hydraulic press to press out the barrel, then you put in a new one, and then you have to drill out a channel into the new barrel (after its headspaced to the bolt) through the existing hole in the trunnion. This can be difficult if youre avoiding enlarging the existing hole in the trunnion so that the barrel pin is still snug. Otherwise people typically drill/ream an oversized hole (much easier and requires less precision) and use an oversized pin. Basically, realistically, in my opinion, you can only replace the barrel on an AK once or twice without lots of skill/ good tools before you run out of room on the trunnion. Then you have to replace the trunnion too. But again I am no expert, I'm sure some guys can get away with drilling a perfect hole through the trunnion/barrel without altering dimensions of trunnion hole as well.
As far as I know, a lot of steel pistol frames are prone to cracking from use over the years.
AR barrel changes seem easy, and polymer frames dont seem to be cracking. But then again polymer can be chewed up by a dog, so... idk. -

SK's are common af around here and there is basically no price differential between the legal and black market for them. I wish I had the AK knowledge you have, they're so durable and versitile it was kind of unprecedented before their inception. I still haven't read "the gun" or whatever the classic book about them is called.
I'm not a fan of polymer and that's what glocks are made from (least the 17). That's why I prefer the ruger p90 to p95, feels so much nicer and more satisfying.
Gunsmithing is such a useful thing I need to keep learning about, especially in the world we live in -
