Well, unless the Republicans do some serious repentance to their conservative base in the next two years, I'm afraid we'll all get to see another Clinton sworn in at the White House. The anti-gun agenda will kick into high gear, and we gunowners will have some hard choices to make and harder situations to face.

In the meantime, I'm wondering what kind of guns to invest in now to be ready for the coming darkness. Where should I be spending and what should I be stockpiling (besides reloading supplies & other necessities-- done that already)...


1. "Evil Black Rifles/Pistols"-- We all know these will be the first to get banned. AR's, AK's, FAL's, hi-cap Glocks, etc.-- get 'em while you can (with plenty of standard-cap mags, of course). And when Hillary & the BATF-Troop come ridin' into town to confiscate them-- well, we'll worry about that then...

2. Milsurps-- proven, reliable, inexpensive to buy and easy to maintain. Mausers, Enfields, Mosin-Nagants, Makarovs, and Walther P1's can get the job done. And while some may be in oddball calibers, finding ammo to stockpile is cheaper than the newer super-ultra-short-mags. And they didn't earn the name "battle rifle" for nothing....

3. "Sporting firearms"-- easier to stay under the radar with "Grandad's hunting rifle" or "those old cowboy sixguns", but no one can argue with their performance in a pinch. When the time comes, they can stand up and deliver with the best.


Opinions?....
 
A flintlock. If all comes to worse, you can make your own powder and shot.:p
 
Mostly black powder firearms

I'm pretty much done buying modern guns. I have everything I need. I've recently discovered BP shooting, and it's a hoot! So, that's where I'll be spending my fun money in the near future.
 
Ammo, ammo, ammo, and if you have any money left, buy some ammunition.:D :D

Extra magazines for those guns that use them.

Spare parts for those guns that might need them. Firing pins, springs, stuff that can and does break on the model of gun(s) you have. If you have a bolt action, spare bolt and trigger mechanism. If you want to drop some serious change, get a spare scope & mount, and sight it in too.

IF you don't have one get a scattergun or two. I favor Remington 870s. <$300 and up. YMMV

Did I mention Ammo?:evil:
 
First and formost a Main Battle Rifle. No, not .223 7.62x commie etc, etc. A .308, 30-06 or other true rifle caliber. A M1A, FAL or a Garrand if you can afford it, or an Enfield or Mauser if money is tight.
If you have that covered get a .50 BMG, while you still can. Tick effing tock.
 
Get all the evilness you can, cuz when they ban it, your ???? will be preban! ;)

I live in the PRK. :mad:

I am on the list for a Barrett 416.

I will also collect my "gun a month" until it changes...:evil:

It's my little way of sticking it to the man...
 
Buy and build it slowly...

Buy yourself another AR or AK. Buy it one piece at a time to keep the monetary hit to a minimum. My friend back home buys his houses this way. He's a little unusual...
 
I am inclined to say military surplus rifles and ammunition. They are pretty unbeatable in terms of price and overall effectiveness. In the case of rifles like the Swiss K31s, they are cheap enough to buy several as spares. Otherwise some key spare parts would be a good investment for the rifles you already have.

Probably Other(s):

Given the way things are going, our OP is right. Either the conservatives pull together (and I'm talking about Conservatives, not the "Kennedy Republicans") or else we might see Hillary as #44.

I'd have to agree with Randy in Arizona as well, stock up on the ammo. I've been trying to add to the ammo stock along with items for the 72-hour kit. Hurricane season will be here before we know it.

And also Thin Black Line raises a good point. Our entire family has been trying to acquire as little new debt as possible and free up cash for all of the "just in case" items.
 
Next two years guns

Funds permitting -

M1 Carbine, I have an "order" out for the new AO version. I want a good shooter at a reasonable price and that doesn't seem to be the case looking for USGI versions.
1903 Springfield, still at decent prices at the CMP
1917 Springfield (the Enfield pattern)
Maybe an 03A3.

And when I am "done" with US service rifles -
A K-31
An SMLE
I know Mosin's are plentiful and cheap but I just don't get excited about them.

But as said above Funds permitting.;)
 
Anything that scares the Brady Bunch, Feinstein, Illinois, Kali, Massachusetts, etc.

I vote Evil Black Rifles! Specifically and as funds allow:

1. Endangered/threatened species: well-built, high quality .50 BMG bolt action with the best scope you can afford to put on it. Real good chance these will be class III eventually and prices will be MUCH higher.
2. Firearms that liberals hate: start working your way down the list of guns on the assault weapons bans (now defunct federal list, current state lists, and new proposed lists). Start with some of the higher quality ones but be sure to get an AK-47 and an UZI because those are the ones that the antis seem to despise the most. If money is tight (due to the couple grand dropped on the 50 cal), buy receivers and build your own!
3. High capacity mags: at least 4 for each gun you own, largest capacity you can find.
4. AMMO
5. Reloading gear: after they get restrictions on our guns, they will target ammunition.

:evil:
 
EBR and a shotgun

I admit to being a bit more vocal about my paranoia than most, but we may find ourselves needing EBR's (or M-1A's or M-1's, etc) along with a shotgun and decent pistol before too long. If you've already got them, buy ammo. .223, .45acp and 12ga weekly for me.
 
If I lived in Texas I would buy AR variants, 20 magazines, spare parts, and several thousand rounds of ammo.

In a few years attempts will be made to force anglos out of Texas because Texas will become the 'Tejas' in Aztlan.

Same recommendations for those who live in SoCal, AZ, NM.

The writing is on the wall. Texans are on the verge of losing everything.
 
Everything You Can.. And The Proper Ammo

The way the wind is blowing, I fear our legal right to purchase firearms may be compromised in the not to distant future.

You'll want everything (and make it quality for the long haul) you can afford, my friend.

Take Care
 
Im buying Ammo and reloading equipment! Since the whole WOLF 7.62x39mm thing I have been super paranoid about ammo. Here today gone tomorow.


The next rifle I am going to buy is an M1 rifle from CMP and if the barrel is Ok I'll keep it a .30-06 untill I shoot it out. If It doesn't shoot that great I'll rebarrel it in .308. Eventually I am going to get an M1A but I'll use the M1 until I get afford an M1A.


I also need a good pistol in a common caliber because all I have now is a Makarov. So im probably going to get a Glock in 9mm and .45ACP.


Good luck everyone

Politically speaking, I'd have to say EBRs and/or .50s...because those are the ones the GFWs hyperventilate about the most.

Next, AK parts kits.

If FN comes out with a SCAR-H for civilians before the end of 2008, that'd be quite nice.

And for the guy who mentioned MBRs-don't forget the FN-49 and SVT-40...although prices on those seem to be going up faster than real estate in San Francisco.
