An older friend recently sold his guns and household goods in a downsizing estate auction. He held on to about 2,000 rounds of brass cased 7.62x39mm ammo he has had for years and now wants to get a 'nice rifle' to keep around 'just in case' (?) that will shoot that ammo. I suggested a reliable bolt action, but he definitely wants a semi-automatic rifle.
I was concerned that an AK47 type rifle would have a bit too much recoil for him, and my SKS suggestion was not liked because he wants something 'new'. I know nothing about them first hand, but the only real option I see is a Ruger Mini Thirty. Any input or suggestions from those who know more than me (probably everyone on this forum) will be appreciated.
