If there is /are threads on this already, link me to them, but I didnt' see one.
The next caliber for my stash is the most common on the planet - 7.62 x 39. It adds to what I have.
Yep that caliber only, I have the others I am interested in at this time.
Best of course is subjective
- reliable is the most important part of this as far as I am concerned
- Costs - a $10k rifle may be the best, but it would not be obtainable - same for super custom
- available
- I am looking for semi-auto (not full auto, nor bolt)
- kind of rifle that you have in the safe just 'cause and one you can share as needed in SHTF
Some info I have stumbled over - (not sure how definitive this is)
1 - Ruger Mini-30. Older versions didn't do well with hard primers. A bit of fiddling / spring replacement seems to fix this. Current ones?
2 - 7.62x39 AR uppers, haven't had a glowing following. Not clear to me why that is
3 - AK's - I am not going to get an machine gun license - are there semi-auto AK Clones?
4 - SKS
others?
Thoughts / suggestions?
