Six Guns

[The Reaper]

Okay, here is a new one, not necessarily about revolvers.

In this scenario, you are limited to ownership of six firearms, maximum, for the rest of your life, selected from production weapons available today. No Class Three, for purposes of this discussion.

Let's not get bogged down into the discussion of how we got to that point, or how to cheat and have access to more.

List the six firearms you would choose if you knew they were the only six you were ever going to own for defense, hunting, target shooting, etc. They can be weapons you presently own, or would like to own.

I'll go first.

1. Carbine: Bravo Company lightweight 16" M4, flattop, 5.56, TA31 RCO or 1.5-5x Leupold. Spare uppers in multiple calibers and barrel configurations, if possible, along with a .22LR conversion unit.

2. Battle Rifle: M1A in an E2 stock, alternate FN-FAL or SR-25, TA11 or 1.5-5x scope, 7.62x51 NATO.

3. LR/Hunting Rifle: Remington 700 PSS, Nightforce 5-22x scope. Alternate, custom build on a pre-64 Winchester M70, .300 Win Mag.

4. Pistol: HK P2000, .40 S&W. Alternate, ParaOrdnance P14 Limted, .45 ACP.

5. Rimfire pistol: S&W 41 or Ruger Mark I or II, .22LR.

6. Shotgun: Remington 870 shotgun, extended mag 20" barrel, RemChokes, 12 gauge. Spare barrels in multiple lengths, if possible. Alternate, Benelli M1 Super 90, 12 gauge.

Anyone else who has a half dozen they could live with/not live without?

One question, Sir.

Are we to assume the status of ammo availability is normal?

I was thinking the same...specifically considering the choice of 40 cal rather than 9mm for the handgun...but the GOV is procurring 40 cal at aggressive rates....hmmm....Reaper

[fng13]

1. Carbine - Colt 6920 with RIS II, Eotech xps, Surefire light, VFG

Alternates

1. BCM-16 same set up
2. HK MR762/Colt 901 same setup (rationale being same controls as AR-15)

My interest tend to be in modern military weapons. It's also the type that I shoot the most, own the most and am most familiar with.

There is nothing these weapons can't do that a fox side by side or or an '03 Springfield sporter could do better.

On top of that modern weapons tend to be more modular, somewhat easier to work on, and obviously can be used in any role whether it be hunting or defense or sports.


@TR my choice of 9mm over other pistol calibers is simply because I shoot it better than I shoot any of my .45's couple with high mag capacity and ammo availability make it a good choice for me. I have no experience with .40 but hope to change that in the future.

[SpNkid]

1. LR rifle - 7.62×51mm M110 SASS;
2. Battle rifle - New experimental 7.62 AK-12 with 5.45, 5.56 interchangeable barrels, mags and kits. Trijicon ACOG;
3. Shotgun Saiga 12. Irons or Aimpoint;
4. Pistol 9x19 GSh-18;
5. Pretty quiet battle rifle 9x39 AS VAL with something like Eotech or Aimpoint and NV;
6. Absolutely quiet 7.62×42 PSS silent pistol.

So, have six main and two backup types of cartridges. This, of course, a plus and a minus.
This is all just a dreams. Really, I have only 7.62x39 Saiga MK.

[Dusty]

[Streck-Fu]

Purely practical. No delusions of grandeur here. The 6 I would choose to rely on.

Ruger 10/22 (hunt the little things. Teach the young uns. Parts are everywhere.)
M4 Carbine (defense, hunt the slightly bigger stuff)
Remington 870 (everyone needs a 12g)
Sig P228 (9mm is everywhere and with 15 and 18rd magazines available, capacity is not a problem).
S&W model 686 .357 (another must own is a good wheel gun)
Remington 700 (.308 as it is plentiful)

[MK262MOD1]

Well mine probably won't turn any heads.

1. Remington 700 300 WINMAG in a Mcree stock, S&B PMII with H59 reticle and Micro T1 w/side mount.
