If you could only have 1 rifle, pistol and shotgun for the rest of your life.

Open Carry

Ok completely hypothetical subject. Congress passed the repeal of almost all gun laws including NFA but you could only have 1 rifle, 1 pistol and 1 shotgun the rest of your life… what would you choose and why.

I’ll kick it off.

Rifle would be hard for me. It would be between an M4 and AR10. As much as I love my 308, I would probably choose M4 because it could be converted to so many different calibers plus it has a fun position on the selector.

Pistol, hands down my P320. Again I can shoot multiple calibers from it.

Shotgun, that would probably be my Benelli M2. It would be hard to give up my 870 or my dads A5. But I am more of a practical shooter and my M2 could fit multiple roles.

How about you all. What would you choose as your forever guns. Remember, you don’t need to currently own it and the NFA doesn’t exist.

I’ll scoop that from ya :wink:

Love the FAL but they are hefty, and if SCAR parts are needed they aren’t found as readily as AR10

Though as you point out an AR15 could run a .30 so… is there still time to think it over some more? :grinning:

Great topic @TheRogueBanshee!!

For the rest of my life eh? Damn.

Pistol: Glock 20 (holy shit, did I just say that?) — reasoning is 10mm. Enough said.

Rifle: AR in 6.5 Grendel, 20” or longer barrel — reasoning is strong cartridge that can reach out and touch something 1,000+ yards away.

Shotgun: Ithaca Model 37 in 20ga — reasoning is, uhh, best smoothest operating shotgun ever and because AMERICA.

The same thing I have now. M4 in 6.8 SPC, because it is inherently better than 5.56 in the same short barrel platform. Or a 20 inch rifle. And my 1911. I don’t know enough for shotguns to make a decision based on a lot of input. My only time was the Remington 870 tactical in contracting.

You can argue your glock 20 can be converted and is the best choice (other than it being 10mm and enough said)

Remember there is no NFA. Might want to make that an M4 pistol. An AR pistol is totally legit until you put a stock on it. But a pistol brace would be okay.

Okay, I fixed my selection

Exactly why I chose it. I believe I can get four different cartridges out of it. Plus like I mentioned before I seem to somehow be accurate with it. :thinking:

Obviously a 1911 was choice #2.

That’s cheating. A revolver is a pistol.
