Say, have you heard anything about how the current Remarms 870's are?

Other than the quality level drop and some hit and miss on the finish (surface rust complaints) I haven't heard all that much... and have not actually handled or fired one.

Sounds like overpriced junk.
Thanks for the heads up.

In the real world, it would be impossible for me to decide on 3 guns.

But in this make believe world, I could get along with the following 3 guns. Note the common denominator... These are all diminutive and easier to handle and carry guns.

Let's say a lever action .30-30. My Winchester Trapper 94 is pretty wonderful.

And for a shotgun, I have an old 870 Express with a 18-1/2" barrel, rifle sights, and Rem-Choke. It works very well for home defense, medium to small game hunting, and bird hunting.

Lastliest, I often carry an old Security Six .357, with a 2-3/4" barrel. This little revolver is an unbelievable tack driver.

Tomorrow, my answers could be different.
It could be a lever action .357, and a 10mm 1911. But the shotgun would remain the same. I've got a much better bird gun, but this 870 gets much more of my attention.

And on another day, my rifle choice could morph into a Scout Rifle in .308 or even an AR.

IDK. Probably a zip gun. It's a pistol, shoots long "rifle" ammo and is as accurate as a shotgun. Checkmate, Oprah.

 

[eustace_stelio]

All I need is a 9mm. It'll blow a lung out and if I need more firepower I'll just throw on a pistol brace.

 

[ZA_Survivalist]

If it's firearms I don't own:
FAL
Mossberg 930
HK Mk23

Because I want all three of those.

 

[Member 66129]

If I could only own one of each for the rest of eternity...

Rifle: A 16" AR-10 Because it can be used on anything in N. America.

Shotgun: A Benelli SBE. I've already put 50k rounds through one without failure, so I see no need to use anything else.

Pistol: a USP Tactical. Again, they just plain work. I'd love one in 10mm, but 9mm would be just fine.

 

[titsonritz]

Jay, you listed 5 guns.
It's only supposed to be 3.
What would you like to eliminate?

What ever wishes to forcibly object.

But I'll play:

A G.P. AR
1301
G19

 

[ilikegunspdx]

Question is too broad I think. Own for what purpose? Gun you appreciate and love to shoot may be different than the one you would take to war or even the one you would depend on for survival or for concealed carry fe. Also is this ideal gun as in if you could have any gun you want or is it guns you own?

 

[Yarome]

Sounds like overpriced junk.
Thanks for the heads up.

I dunno if I would call them junk, but if I were looking to pick one up I would certainly be looking for a used in great condition... which isn't really all that difficult to find.

Seeing the QC and how other newer guns are being produced these days... comparatively... the remarms might just be middle ground par for the course(?) Again, I haven't laid hands on any of them to know, but chatter seems to say the actions are still very smooth and reliable. I can't vouch for that either though.

 

[WAYNO]

I think there are too many rocket scientists here that thrive on making things difficult.

I saw the poll as just simple and fun, what 3 guns could you live with?

And I'm simple and fun.
