unreal, aren't they? i paid $180-NIB, stainless steel made under license by CZ
I wouldn't, but some might. No telling what you might catch...
I think the point may have been that the dependent would try to live off the formerly productive, but the way things are going, there won't be enough of the productive left to support them when the SHTF anyway (and that might be a factor in causing the S to HTF). Between the parasites turning on each other and the totally unprepared, the herd would be severely thinned.
Good choice also.
The poster didn’t really qualify a ‘survival’ rifle.
If you can’t do it with an ‘06 it probably can’t be done.
The last one I saw, an original Springfield Arsenal was at $800. I passed.
Bonus - as far as I can tell (I don’t pay much attention, because I lack that paranoia thing) there’s no shortage of shotgun ammunition.
Remington had a recall on some of their 700s lately. I don’t own one so I didn’t pay much attention to it, but if you have one you might want to check on it.
i hear ya... damn
Not one of mine.
The MN with hex receiver was favored by the Finns who upgraded the captured rifles. For instance I have a 1944 Sako. I don’t know remember enough to identify if this is one but it may not be “communist” in final form.
Yes, we jokingly call all MN “communist rifles” here in the Outback. Seems like everyone but me has two or three of the shoulder breakers.
Remington has announced a voluntary safety recall of Model 700 and Model Seven rifles with X-Mark Pro, or XMP triggers manufactured between May 1, 2006 and April 9, 2014.
Any rifles made after April 9, 2014 are not subject to recall.
The XMP triggers can be identified by their smooth faces. Rifles with serrated trigger faces are not affected.
Hell naw. Wouldn’t trust that thing for beans. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for an M6.
I believe the Rem700 recalls had to do with the trigger. The trigger on my Son`s 700ADL he bought last year was a lot worse than mine. Well I bought mine in 68 or so. So I put a shilen trigger on his.
No. Lots of people have studied and discussed what various breakdown and civil war scenarios would look like here in the USA. In these discussions, our diversity and integration would definitely be our weakness with regard to the loss of human life.
80% of the US population live in or around cities. Compared to other populations, US people are more dependent on a steady flow of goods to their local markets, more dependent on a stable supply of electricity, water, heat, transportation, and other utilities.
In any particular city, there is (at most) a three day supply of food for the population. In the entire US pipeline, there is (at most) a 28-day supply of food for the population, if transportation is not disrupted.
More than half the population are totally dependent on the government for their monthly handouts, and would thus never stoop to the level of attempting to provide for themselves. Half the workforce are government employees, and would have no qualms about slaughtering the non-government people were their lifestyles getting pinched.
A very small percentage of the population are prepared to feed themselves for one or two months, were the shelves to go empty.
Just a sampling of a much longer list of reasons why a civil war in the USA today would quickly become a historically high casualty story.
Wildlife will flourish. More than half the human population will be gone before anyone slows down to hunt or fish.
I have one. In Camo. It’s perfect. :-)
If the SHTF,I’ll be carrying an M1A.I’ll also have my MP5A3 slung across my back and a SW MP in .45 in a shoulder holster.
Casualties among prepared survivors mount as well, given the thought that they are side takers.
That's putting the ugh in ugly.
