Firearm collection REBOOT

[SkepticalPrepper]

Here is a hypothetical question for all of us firearms enthusiasts:

If you suddenly had no guns (suppose they were all destroyed by a meteor), make a list of what you would get to restart your collection and in what order.

Here is my answer (off the top of my head):

1. Glock 19

2. AK-47 (with modernized furniture)

3. Ruger 10/22

4. 12 gauge pump-action shotgun (probably a Mossberg 500 Mariner or a Mossberg Flex)

5. S&W Model 360PD (a scandium framed, SA/DA, J-frame revolver, chambered in .357)

6. A bolt-action hunting rifle (chambered in .300 win mag or .30-06)

7. AR-15

In my case, I only own one gun so this is very close to my actual shopping list.

blowgun, with darts dipped in curare. If you don't have the ammo for those new guns now.......well, lets see what happens next.

I have a bad habit of losing mine in tragic boating accidents, but I wouldn't change a thing in the line up and course that I already took other than to not have wasted money on a Mini14 and went straight to the AR-15. I had to practically give it away to get rid of it.

Mossberg 702 Plinkster, AR-15, Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 (with a bit of work done to it. ), and a Springfield XDM 40 4.5".

I do lots of research and buy for a purpose, not just because I think something looks cool. They all have a purpose and a different use for me, and I choose quality over quantity. I might have switched out the Remington 700 with an AR-10 since the total amount I have into it is more than an AR-10 (plus magazines are $80/ea for my 700), but either way I'm happy and I don't think I could have gotten the accuracy out of the AR-10 I get with the 700 without spending some good money, either.

I posted this in a thread about Pistol Caliber Carbines

gunnerbob touched on a good point.

While pistol caliber carbines aren't optimal they do have a place and they can do a lot to simplify your supply chain if you’re on a tight budget.

I’m not a GLOCK owner so I don’t know model numbers but if I recall GLOCK makes a sub compact pistol and a full size pistol for which the full sized magazines are interchangeable and will fit in a pistol caliber carbine. You can purchase all three and have three guns for which you only need to buy 1 type of magazine and one type and caliber of round.

If CZ ever comes out with a pistol caliber carbine in .40 S&W that takes 75B magazines I’ll be on it like Jillian Michaels on a fat chick.

And I think it applies here as well. If I had to do it over again I’d place a lot of emphasis on compatibility. I’d do everything in my power to only have to buy 1 caliber of round and one type of magazine.

Possibly I’d add a .44 lever action rifle and a .44 handgun for hunting and I’d look into a .22 conversion kit for the pistol and a bolt action .22 rifle for plinking.

My safes are meteor proof. Not to mention I live here with my firearms and if they where to be destroyed I would likely be gone as well. Another reason to keep some in your cars and I have a safe at my mothers home as well for my safe queens ( collector stuff ) just in case..

All my firearms were recently destroyed by a meteor. It happened on November 6 right after the election results came in. The destruction may not be complete but it will be shortly either directly or thru the UN. I intend to begin replacing everything with an AR, another AR, another AR and maybe with an AR. Sorry for hijack of an interesting subject.
Back to thread: I would change nothing and replace with my FN5.7X28 and my pump 18 inch shotgun
