Next purchase?

other/ some type of wwII gun like a kar98k or mosin nagant. I want a history gun, also these things last life times. They are 50+ years old and still work. some from the 1920's and still work!

AR: it is the standard by which all SHTF's are judged. Be sure and ckeck out an M1A Scout too.

I choose other because I was unsure if you meant a DI AR or a gas piston AR, so I pick a gas piston AR, or a sturdy bolt-action for SHTF, whichever you like better.

My $.03, yea that's right .03 cents not .02

SHTF rifle

I chose an AR type rifle because of ammo availability, BUT, I would actually p
refer an M14 type because of , Ammo availability and power of the ctge.

M1 Garand. What you get after that is up to you.

when i think of, SHTF, a reliable tough bolt gun or AK mod comes to mind. Don't get me wrong, i love the AR design, and i'm sure that they're great, reliable rifles, but think of it in terms of "which gun TYPICALLY needs the least maintainence/ parts?"

I'm not trying to insinuate that ARs are fragile and require lots of care, because i know most of them arent, but i dont see them adding up to a well-built bolt action rifle in terms of longevity.

just my humble opinion

Just bought an AR today.

They're very versatile firearms, more so than just about anything else.

The M1 Garand is my favorite rifle. I purchased 3 Garands before I purchased my first AR. I generally don't sell firearms but if I had to the AR would go before my Garands.

With that said as a pure SHTF rifle I would probably get an AR over a Garand but I would choose an AK over the AR for that purpose anyday.....lol I had to throw that in!

I don't plan a gun purchase any more. I just have cash at hand for the Colt that shows up unexpectedly.

I voted Garand because I don't have one yet

an AK or a .308

I voted other in favor of an AK. Most reliable semi auto, 7.62 caliber, is not picky when it comes to ammo, and it will take abuse. Also you don't need a bag of spare parts, just extra mags and ammo.

My next, and probably last, purchase, would be a PS90. A PS90 would have me set for a long time.

i ar rifles and garands.

i chose garand because with an ar, if the bad guy is hiding behind concrete or bricks, you have to wait for him to come out.

not so much with a garand. just guess and shoot.

it really barks.

OTHER

A Ruger Mini 14 or 30 would be my choice. I feel it is a rifle that can eat all sorts of ammo (unlike the finicky AR) and deliver practical accuracy at 100yds. I would purchase my SHTF based on what kind of ammo I feel will be more available (7.62x39 and .223 are more plentiful that 30-06 IMO), or I could stock up on. FWIW, I own both and copious amounts of ammo for both of 'em..

You must have at least one M1 Garand.

I would get an M1 Garand, because I already have an AR

Love the AR an Garand, but voted for Garand. Imagine 8 rd. enbloc clips with alternet rds. being armour piercing, maybe throw in a couple tracers if the SHTF....where an what is the BG going to hide behind...?
