When search for firearms when the SHTF, I’d search for what ammo will be available after the fact. .22, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, 38/357, 9mm and .45 calibers.
Why? because they are in large supply throughout the U.S. What good is a 7mm, 30-06, 270, or any hunting ammo if you cannot resupply during the holocaust? Everyone wants to survive if that’s the case you cannot limit yourself to weapons with limited supplies of ammunition. Go common caliber.
Agreed. Except for my Beowulf .50cal, which I have 5,000 rnds for, I have 7 other common calibers. I sold my “fully-accessorized” Barrett .50 BMG and ammo, two weeks ago.
