Pretty much.
I have put maybe 3k rounds through my AR since I had it and it has only jammed once, which was remedied in less than 5secs. Though, I have a few mechanical upgrades to improve operation and I clean it more than I bathe (almost true).
Admittedly though, my Ruger 10/22 is my baby. So very far in a different category, but she is as smooth, comfortable, and fun as any plinker can be. And ya, cheap to shoot to boot! 
Local MD shops, good luck finding any AR or AK platform rifle. Let alone 7.62 or 5.56 rounds. Heck, I can't even find any .223, and when I do, it's garbage!!! In the extremely rare occasion you can spot one of thje above listed platforms or ammo, you are looking at a near 150-200% mark-up. Gauging due to recent events.
