My friend's Collection

[simo-waldron]

One of my best friends asked me "what should he buy next ?"

He does not want to buy any bolt actions until the political climate changes.
He doesn't think 5.56 is the best caliber for semi-auto, despite the fact that he has SCAR 16S in 5.56.That is why most of his rifle collection .308 or 6.8
He does not want to buy any title 2 firearms (Class 3)

What would you recommend ?

A session with a financial planner.

I would think he would invest in some mercenaries to man all of these weapons.

Re: My friend's Collection

Sounds like a guy I know. You walk into his house and every wall in every room is covered in firearms of every kind imaginable. He's a 'collector'. He's also single.

And magazines!! Your average semi-auto isn't worth a damn and quickly becomes little more than a glorified single-shot without a healthy supply of mags to feed it!!

Aside from that...knowing what all is in his "collection" might help this hypothetical along a bit better.

Off hand, everyone should have (in addition to the AR in small and large frame which you seemed to suggest he had covered):

1) a semi-auto .22LR (like a 10/22 for example...and the aforementioned mags to accompany it);

2) an M1A and/or an M1 Garand of some flavor/variety;

3) an AK of some flavor/variety.

well i guess he'll never going to get a bolt action . Really think the climate will change?

 

[Newtrick]

Does he want to have fun? Or just doomsday prepare?

 

[yellowXJ]

If you have to have a friend ask an internet forum what gun you should buy next you should probably just save your money.

 

[msat10]

What's he hiding from....

 

[GlockBlock]

A break action single shot in .300 Blackout like the H&R?

 

[K_4c]

custom .223ai bolt action....

 

[Bad Dad]

In all seriousness a Sig PE57!

 

[samnev]

In all seriousness a Sig PE57!

I'll 2nd that. My favorite semi military rifle of all time although it rarely comes out of the safe these days. I should have scoped it back i the 80's when the Swiss scopes and mounts were available.

 

[blfuller]

How about an upper for his AR in 300 Blackout that is piston operated, not DI? Assuming he's got an AR. If not, a complete rifle.

 

[gunfreak101]

He should buy my 300 blk out on the forsale forum.

 

[netranger6]

He needs a scatter gun or two. Like my nib UTAS15.

 

[netranger6]

......and a great close range weapon, like my Busse Custom in the options and accessories section.
