Ping a ling a ling ... suggestions. The Rossi .410 has a 22” barrel and an 18.5” 22lr barrel, for $117 at WalMart currently. A forend vertical grip is under $20 bucks from CDNN or Cheaper Than Dirt, and the laser is around $30. A butt sock for rifle cartridges is $10 and the velcro is $8 for four feet of the stuff with sticky backing. With taxes, ammo in #4 shot and slugs, and background check, you can be trying ammo in it for around $220

Can't vouch for their firing pins but I got the short slide release and pivot pin from them quickly and in good order. If I need a pin I will buy it from them. The slide release is very nice and I no longer have to worry about the pin walking out because the pin replacement has a pivot and a nylock nut.
He's not talking about now, he's talking about after the Feces hits the rotary air mover.
When that happens, you'll take any help you can get.
You willing to cut off your nose to spite your face. Or in this case, lose the war to "get even" with the idiots.
Even in WW-II there were plenty of folks who either were very isolatist, or actually favored the Germans, right up until Dec. 7 and 8 of '41, who went ont to kick Kraut and/or Nip ashes. Some were really big violators. Charles Lindbergh for example. They would not let him join the Army Air Force, and the only way he could get into the fight was a Lockheed "tech rep", which he did, flying P-38s, IIRC.
Most of my neighbordhood wears, or in a few cases, wore, ACUs. 'cept me of course. As, earlier this week, I told an AF MSgt, who was wearing ABUs and green boots, I wore plain green fatigues, and khakis (shade 1505).
A battle rifle must be at least a semi-auto, fireing a full power catridge. Mosin-Nagant has that, but it's a bolt action. M-14, FN/FAL, H&K G-3, etc, even the SVT-40, which is a little on the delicate side, but is a semi-auto firing that same round as the Mosin. So do the SVD and the various east block rifles built on an AK like action, such as the Romanian PSL, but those are really sniper rifles. Which of course could be a handy thing to have, but with a just a little clean up and proper ammo selection, the Mosin-Nagant can mange that role too, as it did in WW-II.
I've fired the SVT and the MN, the latter in both "sniper" and standard infantry configurations.
Good suggestion. That might be next on the list.
Thanks
Start with a shotgun before a rifle. Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 are both great shotguns. They’re cheap....you can buy one of each.
So you are saying I should buy extra guns to prepare for myself AND for others who are not family? Sorry, my preps stop at family.
If people do not prepare, what is the point of a person handing them the goods they need, versus say the govt doing the same? Same idea, different entity.
Silly and unworkable idea IMO.
Fair enough.
Yep, if it ever comes to that.
Yeah, it’s a hand rifle all right!
That’s it! J&G.
Those are good picks, they all go bang!
To each his own.

Do not buy a Universal M1 carbine...there is a reason they are so cheap to get.....they are pure junk.
Here in the people’s republic of MA we will wave pictures of assault rifles at the bad guys.
Most of the stuff mentioned here cannot be purchased here. And getting ammo through the mail? Good luck finding someone who will ship here.
And the only way we will get thirty round magazines is if we carry three of them at once.
I hate this state.
Says who? FWIW wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_rifle says “A battle rifle is a military service weapon that fires a full power rifle cartridge. While the designation of battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II select fire infantry rifles such as the H&K G3, the FN FAL or the M14, this term can also apply to older military bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles such as the Mosin Nagant or the M1 Garand.” I guess that also lets out the various Mausers, M1903s, Lee Enfields, etc. Here I was under the mistaken impression that those were all fine, battle tested rifles used in combat to great effect up until the end of WW2 and beyond. What are these rifles called by your acquaintances?
I'd recommend against buying one of each for this reason. If one becomes damaged you can use it for spare parts for the other.
That's why when I run across cheap Com Bloc milsurp stuff I always save up enough money to buy two.
Just a thought.
