Here's what I have so far:

1) Ted Williams 12 gauge - 2-3/4" only with poly choke
2) Mossberg 835 Ulti-mag with collapsible stock and extra scoped slug barrel 2-3/4" to 3-1/2" -- I also have a BSA red dot scope.
3) Remington 870 20 guage youth model with extra slug barrel 2-3/4" and 3"
4) NEF Excell Auto SA1-128 2-3/4" and 3"
5) Mossberg 500 20 guage youth model with extra slug barrel 2-3/4" and 3"

6) Remington 7400 30.06 with Bushnell Banner 3x9 scope with "look through" scope mounts to allow for use of rifled sites.
7) Remington 597 .22lr
8) Remington Model 700 in .270 Win with Nikon 3x9 scope.
9) Bushmaster "Patrolman's Carbine" .223/5.56 NATO with A3 carrying handle and 30mm Tru-glo red dot scope.
10) Bushmaster Carbon 15 with Bushnell red dot scope.
11) Ruger GP-100 .357 Mag
12) Springfield XD in .45 ACP with 3 magazines
13) Springfield XD in 9mm with 2 magazines
14) Crossman .177 cal Pumpmaster pellet/BB gun
15) Crossman G1 Extreme .177 caliber Pellet Rifle with Crossman 3-9x32 AO scope.

*Note: The Bushmaster rifles have 14 magazines between them.

I am looking for any insights from others who have knowledge in this area. I'm just looking to fill in any gaps that I might have over looked.
 
How about a Ruger Mark 3. It could make a nice addition. It's always easier to keep more 22lr on hand. I wouldn't want to be without a nice 22lr pistol.
 
Just wanted to be the first to say we don't do shtf here...(somebody is going to may as well be me)

Sounds like you just have a nice gun inventory there. Not really a shtf list anyways, if so your missing the team of mules to carry everything.

Everyone needs a glock though and a big glass to drink the cool-aid with!

I think you have most every role covered, as far as guns go, but you need ammo...great, heaping, copious amounts of ammo. And not just stockpiled, either... you better be shooting LOTS of it, and getting to know each weapon, through-and-through. Otherwise, you may as well have a bunch of .22's. That's a versatile collection. Enjoy it! Master it! Also, some spare parts (firing pins, extractor claws, recoil springs, etc) never hurt.
 
Ammo is covered in copius amounts....I have more for each weapon than most sporting goods stores even have on the shelves. I shoot frequently as do my family members. We all have varying skill levels, but we are proficient and accurate. I do enjoy what I have, just wondering if I'm lacking in the "Heavy" caliber department.:)
 
I should probably look into getting some spare parts for some of them though. Thanks!
 
Just for fun, I'm thinking what ammo you got is more of a deciding factor, otherwise, it sure beats a liberator for a gun gets a gun/ammo/ oh yeah, food. Stock up on spare parts, and pity da fool, heheh :)
 
The food end is covered. We currently have enough food to get us through 6 months right now, but I would feel more comfortable with provisions for a full year. I like to be prepared! We have field equipment as well JIC we would have to bug out of our "Home" area. It would definitely be harder on the run, but we camp with the whole family 3 to 4 times per year, so we wouldn't be totally unprepared in that regard either.:)
 
it's too bad we really don't do SHTF threads here, as I was dying to ask how you were going to carry or shoot 15 guns + ammo in an event...
