A couple of weeks ago I posted a query asking what would be the best rifle for the Zombie Apocalypse.
OK FReepers, it's the zombie apocalypse. What battle rifle should I buy?
I promised a followup.
After careful consideration, I wound up dismissing the idea of a .308 battle rifle, settling instead on the tried and true Kalashnikov.
A little web research led me to a company out of Bulgaria, Arsenal Firearms.
After sleeping a few nights on the issue, I pulled the trigger on an Arsenal 107-34 in 7.62x39, 6 mags and 1000 rounds of Wolf ammo.
Bring on the zombies! I'm ready!
Sweet. I went with the M1A though cuz I’m a long range zombie killer. Now I’ve my eye on a Rem 700 chambered in .300 win mag.
More accurate without the comma: “asymmetric interlocking fire in the suburbs.” It’ll be all of more fun without aiming stakes or any need for fire orders.
I still have my eyes on a DS Arms FN-FAL but that'll be some time down the road.
The question you need to ask yourself is what is your primary pack load, food or ammunition? What happens when you run out of ammo for your specific weapon a week into the Apocalypse?
If you're smart, you'd learn some lessons from Michonne.............
Very nice purchase. Good job. Thanks for the information. Music to read the thread by…

get dem zombies
Does it go to 11?
Put a Katana in my hand I'd likely be missing fingers within 10 minutes. I'm not good with sharp objects. Somehow, I always find a way to test them on myself.
Honestly, the best SHTF/Zombie Apocalypse rifle is the previously mentioned Ruger 10-22.
You could sling that rifle over your shoulder and forget it's there. Easy to aim and shoot. Reliable as anything. A brick of 500 rounds weigh a couple of pounds. Ruger has sold a bajillion of these things so they'd be easy to find in a closet somewhere.
Sure, they're lacking the "cool" factor that a proper "black rifle" has but they're practical. Rabbits and other small game would be made quick work of. Nobody is going to be shooting elk and moose in a SHTF situation.
Might not be the best man-stopper out there but a .22LR to the neck will really ruin your day.
That’s only good for Bulgarian zombies. What about all of the others? :-)
Ten is all you need.
Every now and then I'll get a wild hair and spin all the knobs clockwise.
It shakes my stomach and rattles the windows. It makes my kids cry. It is truly something to behold, a Stratocaster plugged into a dimed-out 100 watt Marshall amplifier.
When I was in my teens I had a buddy with a Marshall stack. I played a Fender Precision bass with an Acoustic amp.
We set them up in my moms backyard once and cranked them up to 10 and started playing Led Zepellin, badly. The cops were there in 4 minutes. No one called them. They heard us literally a mile away.

I had the Remington 700 Police Sniper,then I bought the M1A National Match.I fugure that using the same ammo will have it’s advantages.
Rock and Roll!!
Nothing at all wrong with Tapco mags (or Tapco anything) and they count as a 922r US part. Nothing wrong with Wolf ammo either.
I like C-Product mags for my CORE AR: rugged, reliable and cheap.
Now someone will say something bad about: AKs. Wolf. Tapco. C-Product. ARs. Core. Arsenal .....
Some gun owners are like sorority girls talking boyfriends.
does that amp go to ‘11’ ?
damn. half the freepin world beat me to it...
he’s pretty amped up about it.
That gets my vote too. I like to be able to reach out and ...
Best weapon for a zombie apocalypse ?
MG42 with two extra barrels and 20,000 rounds.
That is a nice gun. I wish I had one.
Among the scores of guns I wish I had back was a model 94 Winchester. Actually it was a Sears Ted Williams, a post 64 model. The receiver was made of some kind of odd steel or maybe Iron which did not hold the bluing. It was almost shiny.
The wood was plain.
On the positive side, it was a really slick action. Really smooth as butter. Someone before me had put a nice receiver sight on it. I can’t recall if it was a Williams or Redfield but it probably cost nearly as much as the gun.
The best thing of all is it was really a great shooter. The only accurate model 94 I ever owned and I have probably had at least a dozen. None of them were awful, just mediocre but this old Sears gun was a shooter.
It would be a great knock around gun and pretty good for fighting zombies from the cities. Keep a pocket full of loose cartridges. Shoot one, load one. Keep the magazine full.
I still have a .30-30 Winchester Ranger. I've had it for years. I've always thought it was a serviceable little lever action, easy to point, shoot and hit what you were aiming at.
Then I googled it.
Posts after posts about how this rifle is the biggest POS Winchester ever made.
Could've fooled me. Works just fine.
POS really...
LOL!
Congratulations!
