I still say get a new model Mini14.
If you think you'll need one when the SHTF, well, I hate to butcher Basil Plumley/Sam Elliott's quote in "We were soldier's once...", but here goes; '...by the time I need one there'll be plenty of them laying all over the ground...'.
IMHO; I have enough gun projects without messing with an AR or AK. But hey, if you need a hobby then go for it.
SHTF doesn't have to be Mad Max apocalypse doomsday. Would Katrina count as SHTF? Didn't see too many firearms laying around.
Here's a guy guarding his house with a FAL

True. But he's sitting at an intersection with a view down 4 streets. A 20G isn't going to do much thereWith all due respect, that gentleman could defend his house with a .22, 20 gauge, revolver, 1911 or pretty much anything else.
That's always been my response when somebody sarcastically asks me if I am preparing for "the revolution". I always reply "Not really, but more so for something like Hurricane Katrina or Sandy". When LEOs, National Guardsmen, and other first responders are thinly stretched around the area, who is going to protect your family and property from looters, criminals, and other dangerous people?
I completely agree about the 20. But you kind of help make my point, because neither is a 5.56...that's why he has a .308. My point related to a 'specific purpose for the caliber'. In that particular pic, he probably needs something in a 308/30-06/270, AND, something like a riot (shot)gun.
Anyhoo, Caj will probably get the S&W and be done with it.
I wouldn't mind the 30 but it's easier and cheaper to find and buy x39 or 556. And both have better penetration through barriers at distances.I guess I am the only one on Earth who prefers a .30 Carbine to any AR or AK.
