” pump action shot gun, 250 rounds of 00 buck and a AK74 (Yes AK74 not a typo) and 2160 rounds of 5.45 for around $1000.00. “

In a survival scenario, to my way of thinking, unless one is an accomplished (old-style, sans power tools) gunsmith, one would be better served with a double-12 with a selection of loads (00, deer slugs, #4 and #7 shot), a revolver (an old Police Issue 38 Special, in my case - simple and reliable-durable), a bolt-action 22, and a bolt-action deer rifle (.270 or .30 cal - I’m still looking for one that I like)

Moving parts are the enemy....

My father still uses a pump action that my grandfather own and I can’t remember it ever failing or needing anything more than a cleaning and a pump can be easily loaded on the the go. AK’s are known for their ablity to take lots of abuse and still keep shooting, but like, most things to each their own.
