Alright guys, wondering what the general opinion is on my next firearm purchase -
First off, my current collection contains a Mak-90, a Mosin Nagant M44, a Mossberg 500 Security/Field combo 12 gauge, a Swiss K-31 and a Marlin 60SB .22.
Now, about me - I live is suburbia, am under 21 (no handguns, sad), don't really hunt (may do a little bird hunting soon though), but do a LOT of recreational shooting. I have an extremely limited budget, so any firearm purchase is a big purchase, and ammo price is a concern.
So, with those things in mind, these are the guns i'm considering at the moment -
A AR-15 of one kind of another. Would take a little saving up, but I know i need to own one at some point. Plus, ammo is still moderately cheap, aftermarket parts are everywhere, etc.
Now, if its an AR, the question is, A3 Full size, or A3 Dissipator?
A Stoeger SXS Coachgun, for pure coolness, and rec shooting, possibly a little hunting.
Another subgroup, the question here is 12 or 20 gauge? Thinking 12.
Some kind of pistol caliber carbine, probably in 9mm (woo cheap ammo). I'm somewhat attracted the Hi-Point Carbine's price, and while its ugly as hell, i've heard nothing by good things about reliable, decent accuracy, and customer service. I also like the ergonomics of the ugly list b*****d's. If not that, maybe a Beretta CX-4, or a Kel-tec Sub-2000?
A full size Mosin Nagant 91/30, to compliment my M44, they're cheap to buy, cheap to shoot, and it's another one i know i'll own at some point. The issue is finding one i want to own.
Some other surplus rifle, an Enfield or Mauser?
A Garand?
So yeah, lots of schtuff i need (well...really want), opinions appreciated!
