I think we should rebel and take over the poll with force if necessary. I change my vote to baseball bat.
Mini's have also been available in 6.8 and .300BO from time to time- maybe even a couple other calibers I'm not aware of. There was also the Deerfield- basically a .44mag Mini.I guess my biggest problem with the poll is that there are only two chamberings of the Ruger Mini style rifle in existence, yet each one gets its own separate poll entry, while there are 30 - 35 different AR15 chamberings available, at least - and yet it only gets one option. Just not consistent. The AK style rifle has at least 3 chamberings that I've seen as well (not counting shotgun and rimfire).

Also, *THIS*:
"But the fact is, compared to the AR and other prominent western infantry rifles, AK engineering and ergonomics is crude.
I don't think an AR needs more maintenance than an AK. If it does, it's not enough to matter. Mine have only needed a couple of drops of oil every so often and the occasional wipe down to keep running and that's with shooting them as dedicated suppressor hosts. The AR is engineered better than the AK or the Mini. There is no question that if for some reason I were limited to the choice of one type, it would be the AR."
(why does our software not allow us to block-quote people any longer?)
Your pics made my day Gunny!Like I said, Trying to keep things simple. If I had tried to list all the different calibers, I would have ran out of choices and then we would be flooded with comments about not having this or that caliber listed.
I guess not many have tried to start their own poll on the forum. Try picking a topic with a good question and no more then 20 choices. No matter how you set it up, someone will complain or reply to the post with something that has nothing to do with the question in the poll.
For those that don't care for any of the weapons listed, no need for you to post in the poll. Just start a poll yourself.
Is the poll unfair? I wouldn't say so. The listed guns all rang in the same price range, are mag fed and very popular with members here on the forum.
Does the AR have an advantage ? Maybe so, but not to the guy that doesn't like them.
Another reason for starting this poll was to have some fun. These last few weeks there have been so many topics related to the school shooting in Florida, I have just about gotten tired of reading them.
You can always start your own.I think we should rebel and take over the poll with force if necessary. I change my vote to baseball bat.
You can always start your own.
I suspect an AR. No other rifle gives you the flexibility and versatility.Let’s just talk rifles and carbines.
If you had to choose just one, which would you pick.
You are more then welcome to let us know why and how you would set it up .

I start a poll to ask what should be in my poll.
I was going to say that, but forgot to put in my last post.If limited to 22RF, a Ruger 10/22.
Never bring a bat to a gun fight.I think we should rebel and take over the poll with force if necessary. I change my vote to baseball bat.
Is that from "A Boy and His Dog"?BTW, I like the poll. I've never felt so much in the minority until now.

P.S. Don't ya like sightless guns? The kind you have to eyeball down the side of the stock to shoot? lol.

Never bring a bat to a gun fight.
By the way, what is the max effective range of your bat. Oh! what is the mag capacity, rate of fire and sustain rate of fire? Or would that be smacks per minutes?
Inner thigh im sure.....Mag capacity is one if I throw it, about 100 if swing it wildly until my arms get tired. Rate of fire depends on if its before or after lunch. Working on a kydex IWB holster.
Pournell had just come out with his "Janisaries" book
I think you should ask "Which type of bat would you own if you could only own one?"I start a poll to ask what should be in my poll.
