Recommendations for a Minimum Set of Firearms...

[TimG]

We have a gay governor so we aren't allowed more than 10 round magazines but my large capacity magazines are grand fathered and the others were lost in a tragic boating accident.

I did not know that. I may have broken that law a few times in Colorado.

a pre lock revolver in Canada be it s&w or colt,would cost as much as that whole list combined 🤣

Seriously? They have really increased in price recently... but I had no idea it was that much more in Canada but admittedly I don't know much about the recent changes in your gun laws either. Supply and demand always drives the market right? I actually own a S&W 44M with a lock, shoots great but it looks like the south end of a north facing donkey.

I have 50 rounds of Remington FMJ .223, 100 Rounds Fiocchi 9mm FMJ brass case, 50 rounds Magtech 45 ACP FMJ, and 50 rounds .380 FMJ. All brass case factory ammo. Will trade for Honda Talon or Honda Pioneer 500 + cash!!!

My local shop just got this in today and I think I need it to go along with my FN 5.7 pistol.

Those are cool but I can't justify the price. With that money I'd sooner buy a pair of G17's, a couple cheap AR's, and save the rest for when ammo is available.

I'd like to get a bolt action or a cheaper semi in that 5.7 caliber for woodchuck hunting.

Wow, I have a 5.7 and know how I can go with ammo with it so I can't imagine trying to keep that feed.

Last I checked no one made a bolt in 5.7x28. Wish they did

Well I have most boxes checked I guess, the ones on my list anyway. And please, these are opinions and mine is no better than yours.

1. A .22 rifle is probably the most important gun anyone can own IMO. I prefer levers but I do have a 10/22. But any good .22 really, and 5,000 rounds of quality ammo and that would serve about 90% of any persons "needs" as well as anything.

2. A Glock 19. I have several 9mm handguns, just me talking out my hat here, but if you make a list of all important aspects of a combat pistol it's just really hard to beat all around. Any reliable semi-auto could fill this slot, the G19 is my choice.

3. A 12 gauge shotgun. Honestly probably the Remington model 870. I have an 1100, but for self defense and hunting I think the 870 would be my choice.

4. An AR-15. You could substitute other semi-auto combat guns, but why?

5. A bolt-action centerfire. Really tough to beat the .308 in this regard IMO. I have a half-dozen calibers, but the .308 is the best all around hunting cartridge in the lower 48.

The second 5 become must haves for everyone that has the first five covered.

6. A 1911 pistol in .45 ACP - Your first should be a Colt.

7. A Colt or a S&W pre-lock magnum revolver.

8. A centerfire lever action rifle.

9. M1A

10. Another 1911.

A couple I would add to the list:

1. Winchester 1886 in 47-70 by Doug Turnbull
2. Savage model 99A in 308
3. Winchester model 94 Jim stamped in 44 mag
4. Winchester 1873 in 357 mag
5. Shiloh Sharps Quigley
6. Remington tac-13
7. And another 1911 (never have to many of them)

Yeah, I'm not aware of one. With the newfound popularity of 5.7x28 it's bound to happen at some point

Savage made one for a while about 8 years ago. It was called the Savage 25 walking predator available as a custom order. I see them pop up once in a blue moon for sale. From a ballistics standpoint, better off with a 223 bolt action. Look for a CZ 527 in 223. Ammo way cheaper and more available.

What is this “minimum amount” you speak of? I’m not familiar with that term.

I think you are confused... there is a minimum, there is no maximum.

Oh that is cool. I have all the bases covered for varmint guns, including a 110 savage .223 predator hunter that I won last year. I happen to have a Savage 25 in .17 hornet - I really like that gun.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out.
