if you were only allowed 1 rifle and 1 pistol what would they be?

My HK G3 clone and a Glock 19. The G3 clone also has a 22 long rifle conversion kit, with 2, 20 round, magazines. So in a way I get 3 rifles! ;)

An AR15 with uppers in .223, .50 Beo, .450 Socom, 9mm, .40, .45, .50 BMG, and any other cartidges that work on an ar lower.

As well, a Glock 23 with barrels in .40, .357 Sig, and 9mm.
 
Here's a question:

DO you presently own the two you mention?

If not, why not?

if these are the 'only two,' then why don't you have them now ?
 
changing vote

I'd like to change my vote.

I'll stay with the PTR-91, with a tactical scope on a claw mount and a bi-pod, it's the the most versatile rifle I've got. Low-power (2x - 6x) magnification when you can use them. Iron sights when you need them. A steady platform from which to fire. And a round that, when well-placed, will handle most jobs.

But for the pistol, I want to switch out from the 1911 Bobtail to an H&K USP Compact .45.

Reasoning: If we assume some kind of SHTF scenario is imminent (think Bielski Otriad or Terminator, Post Skynet) in this hypothetical, I'm not thinking I'd want to try to care for the match grade barrel in the Bobtail while living in a dugout in the woods indefinitely.

Shoots beautifully, but it is a task to get it really clean.

And, honestly, I've never had a firearm that was easier to maintain than the USP. Four or five passes with a bore snake and that polygonal profile barrel is bright and shiny.

So, to paraphrase Lyle Lovett: I understand too little too late; I realize there are things you say and do that you can never take back. But what would you be if you didn't even try? You have to try. So after a lot of thought, I'd like to reconsider. Please, If it's not too late, make that a PTR-91 .308 and an H&K USP Compact .45.

And, yes, I still own both.
 
Maniak, that PTR 91 is sweet isn't it? I bought one about a month ago and I love it. The only thing I don't like is that it pulverizes the spent cases.

Agreed. That and it throws them quite a ways, which makes policing your brass all the more frustrating: Have to look far and wide to clean up after yourself and the retrieved casings are useless.
But also agreed. It's sweet.
 
Rifle - I would go with a .308 AR from one of the more reputable companies.

Pistol - No idea, pistols are fun, but I'm not knowledgable on them, and don't really pretend to be. I will say though, that the effects of 9mm (fmj only) on humans has not impressed me much.

If the question was changed a bit to two firearms, I would say that you can do about anything with a 22LR and a 12 guage, from deer to rabbits to squirrels to guys in your house that you didn't invite.
 
Bushmaster M-4 and Kimber 1911. OF course I expect the M-4 would have been outlawed prior to your law. Probably the safest bet would be a .30-.30 lever action and a wheel gun though.
 
Does this count for a rifle?

I was with the M14 & 1911 crowd, but some of us should have something with a little more oompf.

If that is cheating, I'll go with an M2. And if that is cheating I'll go with a Barrett M82.
