Saw this joke lately:
I got lucky and bought two boxes of ammo, because I knew it was getting scarcel I put the boxes on the front seat and on the way home I stopped for gas where a short-skirted gorgeous blonde was filling up her car. Glancing at the ammo, she bent over and leaned in my passenger window. and in a sexy voice, I’m a big believer in barter, old fella. Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?
I thought for a few seconds, then asked ‘what kinda ammo you got?’
500 jobs lost.
Or use a handgun, lower caliber, .22 single shot rifles even. Our range has closed, up for sale, no place to practice.
Do you think that bothers DemoNazis?
If you get an AR for 7.62x39, get one with a dedicated lower that takes AK mags or otherwise you’ll have feeding and jamming issues.
OK. Thanks. I once looked at building an AR-10 in .308
Gunsmith friend of mine talked me out of it.
I knew that the 7.62x39 was possible in AR format. Did not know the details on the magazine dimensions.
Friend of mine here on FR tried to interest me in the 6.5 Grindel in the AR-15 frame. I looked at how difficult getting brass was and decided not to attempt that.
I did buy a nice .308 bolt action rifle.
The only semi auto rifle I own is an SKS, that I bought in a box at a garage sale. Got it back together and working and put aside some ammo and reloading capability. Have not shot it much. It is honestly not a bad rifle. It is scoped and it is pretty heavy for it’s size.
Sell the SKS and buy an AR in the 7.63x39 platform. The CMMG Mk47 Mutant is a good platform.
During Obama’s last term I began stocking up weekly on ammo.
I sought military grade mostly with primers that had protective seals to last 50 plus years.
Of course not all ammo (.357 magnum, .38s, .22s for example) have that seal but ammo will last decades if kept at room temp and dry.
I’m doing fine too.
My wife liked it. We’ll probably keep it.
I put a spring type firing pin in it. Murray’s Gunsmithing, in Bowie, Texas has one he sells that drops in bolt with no mods. Ends slam fire and it works with soft primers. But, yes, I could probably get more money for it than it is worth.
Most guns are like that now.
I shoot mostly bolt or lever action rifles. Load a lot of calibers. Will keep what I own and load.
That sounds like a good place to be in. That's my goal for the end of the year, except I will need about a half dozen different powders.
While Trump was in office and ammo was plentiful, I stocked up in case a dim got in charge. And looky there, obama is back in charge and up to his old tricks.
I’m good. Lots of ammo for barter.
BSA/USMC. Be prepared.
