only one gun

05-01-2004, 05:16 PM

I know a guy who doesn't own a gun..at all..believe it or not..wants one..likes my SKS..which isn't a bad gun..inexpensive to acquire and shoot :assult: If you didn't have a gun..hypothetically (unless you're like me..I don't have a gun but if I did it would be a handgun

)

what would you get first ?

NRAJOE · 05-01-2004, 05:28 PM

Rifle...AK!

05-01-2004, 05:49 PM

I'd get a revolver :target:

A Shotgun would be first (but certainly not last!) - with the broad ammo selection, you can hunt any game and use it for defense - it covers all the bases.

Jay A. · 05-01-2004, 07:12 PM

6.5x55 swede
big enough, yet small enuff for varmints and flat shooting accurate

SKS wouldn't be a bad choice as an only rifle :assult:

Like big dog the first would be the shotgun because it covers all bases

I think I would go with a shotgun because you can do so much with it.

If I could have only one gun it would be an SKS with a folding stock and flame supresser with the cone to divert the blast like the Krinkov,if it works with a 10" barrel it should work with a 16" one. I could carry lots of ammo in stripper clips if on the move.:assult:

Part of me wants to make an SBR SKS just for the heck of it.

Short barreled Rifle, an NFA term.

Why ? and how short ? :assult:

Snakebite · 05-02-2004, 09:19 PM

Its a little confusing. The first gun or the only gun?
I like Jay A's answer of the Swede but thats because it one of my favorites.
Shotgun would be first.
Only gun would be a .45 Colt revolver.

if you had to start collecting all over again..what would you get first :target:

Snakebite · 05-02-2004, 09:42 PM

If I started all over again I'd start with the mausers. Prices have skyrocketed here for a good mauser. I'd get more Swedes.

Rave · 05-04-2004, 08:15 AM

Sorry,I was thinking ONLY gun,disregard my post.:assult:
