What do I want for a truck gun?

[Mark W.]

He doen like black rifles!!! Even ifn ya paints em, dey still gots some Eeeevil features. How many times he gotta say it?

I said nothing about liking or not liking Black rifles I said I don't DO black rifles. they are just fine for those into them they just aren't my thing to play with.

And I have rifles with hand guards bayonet lugs mag fed etc. No hand grips but then so what they have pistol grips which work the same. Just not Black or in the Black family LOL.

AND NO I AM NOT GUN RACIST.

 

[bbbass]

yes but I bet it has a butt stock and at least a bead the thing shown that is an AOW has no butt stock and the barrel isn't even close to 18".

What's an AOW?

AND NO I AM NOT GUN RACIST.

Black rifles matter.

 

[Mark W.]

Was it as pretty as mine, I did the stock from the rough turned condition, the wood is Spalted Sycamore and drop dead beautiful. I might even throw in the scope.
On a good day when my hands don't shake too much I can put 5 shots into less than half an inch, covered by a dime, the only things that aren't straight from the factory is the stock itself and the BX trigger, that is as light and crisp as I could hope for.

Now let me see your old beater.

OK don't say I didn't warn you



That is a nice looking 10-22 but the reason I traded the one I had off was I never much liked it. And it was an Older version in excellent condition with a 4X Bushnell scope. I got a Mauser LARGE RING commercial action as well in the trade. With a about 1.25" D x 26" long boat anchor of a -06 barrel screwed on it I gave it to the gunsmith to make flash suppressors out of for liberating the action from it.

We're gettin into some "serious" chit here man. Where's Dave?

Trying to figure out what I want.
So thinking truck gun with these requirements:
....what ya think?

When I saw the title of your post, an Earl Butz quote came to mind....

Option 1: Used Beretta CX4 Storm in 40 cal, and if possible, re-chamber it for 10mm. That would be the cat's meow!

Option 2: Build a 300BO or 6.8 SPC with a 14" barrel and a pinned brake. If you shop judiciously, you can get all the parts used for <$400.

Option 3: Lastly, I'd recommend a blunt instrument: a Rem 1100 semi-auto, with the smooth barrel replaced with a rifled one (do they do that?) Fill the tube with alternating 00 buck and slugs. You're then compromising on 200 yards and killing everything out to 100.

Sure, but you can get an 18" shotgun in good condition and add a folding stock to it and still be under $400. I think that's what he's getting at.

 

[Mark W.]

An 18" barrel shotgun is a possibility. Or just picking up a shorter barrel for my 870 Youth 20 ga. and finding a mag extension for it. Choate makes a 3) rd Midway sells for $42-43.00 I
ll have to measure the little bugger and see if its short enough to store under the back seat in the Willys. I can pickup a synthetic stock set for it for another $85.00

Might work out OK ammo would be heavy compared to a rifle and range would be reduced but suppression fire would be improved LOL

If you change your mind PM me!
Rough as it is as long as the bore is decent for its age and it functions I'd love to have it. I had the round and octagon versions when I was a youngster growing up and have kicked myself for ever letting either of them get away, but what does a 14 year old know?

 

[DunRanull]

FWIW I carried/used a 12 gauge for my position as a park security/ranger for several years. Neither the rem 870 nor the mossie 500 were fun to shoot with the folding stocks (Choate and whatever else). Both bit the cheek and hit the shoulder. The dept got rid of the folders and went to synthetic "traditional" style. Much easier to actually FIRE, tho for CARRY I suppose the folders were easier. FWIW I shot the highest scores with shotgun in the dept. Of course, YMMV! Good luck

These work. They cost almost as much as the shotgun, but man are they nice.

SKS. Cheap, durable, dependable, ten rounds.

 

[Pete F]

I know that you don't care for "black guns", but the SKS is really not a black gun. My truck gun is a Norinco SKS type M, 16 inch barrel. It takes AK magazines and were fairly cheap to buy. A lot of fire power in a small package. If you have to shoot out of your truck on the move, you don't have to worry about levers or racking a slide.

 

[Boboclown]

I'm on the side of the Norinco SKSs with a 16" barrel. No need to defile a gun and they are good guns. Then again the SKS in general is a good gun.

 

[DunRanull]

It's been said already but my two cents is an SKS... bought them when they were in exlnt shape and cheap... one per trunk with chest pouch carries w/200 rnds on strippers. With the rise in price of SKS and difficulty replacing them, probably not the ideal rifle anymore, probably Marlin .30-30 or some Mauser...

 

[I594 Sucks]

Trying to figure out what I want.
So thinking truck gun with these requirements:

16"-18" barrel MAX
Repeater could be Lever, Pump, or Semi
Mag fed would be a plus
Must hold a min of 7 rds
Must be able to hit a volley ball sized target at 100 yards and kill at 200 yards
A narrow or thin rifle a plus
Less then $400 used
.30cal or better
Scope mount a plus
Peep sights preferred for Iron

what ya think?

I love my Marlin 1894C in .357 Mag., topped with a 4x scope. Small, light and quick, though I wouldn't depend upon it's accuracy at 200 yards. I have won competitions at 100 yard gong shoots, though.
