For America and North America in general, is there any doubt that an AR15 is your best bet at a SHTF rifle?

>parts and ammo commonality with military/police
>5.56 is adept at medium-large game (with proper shot placement), four legged or two legged
>reliable and accurate
>aftermarket like legos

That being said, what would the optimum specs for such a general purpose rifle be? Meaning barrel length, gas system, sights, etc. Is there a "best" AR15 maker that makes a quality product at a good price for the average joe?

AR SBR a best.

No need for 500m shots in SHTF
>>
>>28867431
It all depends on what you want to focus on and your location. Personally I want to get an 18" SPR with an adjustable zoom optic. Keep it light and handy. I have a 20" AR right now with an A2 stock and its not the worst choice for me considering where I am.
>>
Yes, an IR capable, Suppressed SBR AR is by far the best SHTF rifle you can buy.

in SHTF that third pin is getting drilled though

.45 super in a small pistol ( an XD or Boberg)
I carry 9mm, so that's the only real reason I can think of

Makes your dick bigger. Increases test. Girls flirt with you more. Id rather have a 45 if I had to shoot a dog, which is a real threat in San Antonio. Guns chambered in .45 are unobjectively the coolest guns. Many reasons, friend

You guys ever notice that we have way more threads of some idiot with an ND than someone saying they used a gun in self defense?

Almost all of those NDs could've been prevented with a manual safety. I challenge you to find ONE (1) verified story of a self defense situation going horribly wrong because the defender forgot to tun off the safety.

Okay, this time I've really got a great original idea for a new type of firearm action.

One of the bolts is missing from the drawing for simplicity.
This is how it works:

It's a side by side for magnum rounds like .45-70 or .44mag or something. There are 2 bolts and 2 magazines but the action is worked by tilting the barrels back forth clockwise or counterclockwise. The bullets eject backwards over the bolts and the barrels push the bolt down causing it to feed out of the magazine. This avoids the problems semi-autos have with these mega recoiling guns.

I'm going to e-mail it to kel-tec. I call it the twisting cartridge clamper with over bolt ejection.

I kind of want one and I drew a thing in paint.

In a world dominated by Multicam, tans, and digital camo, is there still a place for Woodland?

The vast majority of gear excludes this camo. Is it not "tactical" looking enough, or has it become less effective than newer patterns?

I like it. It's cheap and if you live in a literally woodland area, it works. Well, for me it does at least. I've had guys walk past me while I was laying down in in a bush with it before.

Colt 901 would be my only real suggestion at that price point, and it's a pretty good one actually.
DPMS is not good despite what the poorfags/fudds will tell you, and the "bild it yerself" route will come out around the same.

Colt has really stepped their game up recently as well and with 5.56 conversions available and eventual 7.62x39 conversions, there's also that to consider if it interests you.

I have an old surplus mosin nagant rifle that was made in the United States which was sent over to Russia somewhere before or during world war one and somewhere down the line it got in the hands of a Finland soldier and has a Finland stamp mark on it and as well been used during world war two and the winter war and somehow made it back over here which I got it for just $100 dollars.

I have a large stack of spam cans with surplus ammo and I'm planning on getting the rifle hard chrimed so that way I wouldn't have to worry about corrosion from surplus ammo.

How much would it cost to get the barrel completely hard chromed and as well the inside chamber, inner box mag and the bolt?

Sounds like a good idea to me really.

I'm just a poor boy!

Why do we not still use 30-06 from a military standpoint? the recoil is manageable, and it can send a 220 grain round at 2,602 fps, on the highest end. knowing the military it would probably settle around 2300, but I digress.

the round has that nice tail on the end of the bullet so it flies straighter than other rounds. it's much bigger than .308 and has much more potential power, why don't we use it? it's not like it's hard to make or in short supply.
pic related shows size difference, .308 is on top

.308 works just fine.
