If the AR is Banned what is the top defensive rifle on your list ?

[BAM-BAM]

I guess I've got a thing for pistol caliber carbines........ from my Winchester Trapper in .357 to my Ruger 77/357 utility rifle...... to the Beretta CX4 9mm which takes the same magazines as the Beretta 92.

I also have a couple of "varmint" rifles....CZ 527s in .223/5.56 and my second favorite walking in Penn's Woods rifle a 527 FS/mannlicher carbine;also in .223. I like the CZs detachable 5rd magazine..

That is an ugly gun.....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I think it's a beautiful gun

Candidly, I've never seen any hunter use one to take game, not saying it's not possible but I've been hunting for years in many states and never seen one, ever.

What? AR15s, 10s, AKs are all a hog hunters best friends At least they are here in Texas where hogs run wild destroying people's property and there are no mag limits, or time limits, Or any limits of any kind on killing them. One of the kids out there has a an AR 10 with a thermal scope and he is a hog slaying fool. Bet he,s killed over 100 this year alone.

AR goes away? No great loss to me - After I carried one for 16 years in Uncle's Army I despise them.

My defensive rifle will be, as always, my Rossi 92 in 357 to go along with my Model 13.

Well they don't have enough jail space for us all so I think a passive resistance, non compliance operation would be a good start. For range use in such an environment I think my two M1 Garand's in 30-06 and 7.62 NATO along with my Ruger Scout rifle in .308 Win would be useful elsewhere as well.

I'm happy with my .30/30 lever. So was Custer. I don't need an AR to defend myself or family.

 

[Mr.Harry]

12 guage pump with a huge tube works too.

Frankly, I believe anything could happen with the next administration. If they want to outlaw AR-15's, they also should ban all the other items thatkill and maim people, like tools, cars and other stuff that kill.

I don't consider a 'feral hog' to be a North American game animal, more of a varmint or an invasive predator that needs to be eradicated. Sort of along the lines of Asian Carp.

Both introduced by man (or at least careless men).

A good friend of mine killed a 80 pound mountain lion with one shot from an AR-15 at a range of about 50 yards. He used an expanding tip bullet.

Are you sure the .30-30 caliber was available in the 1870s?

Of course it was. Moses used it too!

Unfortunately thec30/30 was designed long after Custer was dead....1895.

The US military use Springfield 45/70 single shot carbines

I might be straying too much into politics with this post, but here goes.

If ARs/semi autos are banned from sale, that could happen any time with the stroke of a pen.

If ARs/semi autos are banned from possession, a nationwide registration will almost certainly precede that. That's the only way it can be even partially successful, or else millions of people just hide what they have.

More on topic, if certain weapons are banned you still need something to defend yourself, your family, and your property. So you have to have "public" guns. The ARs, AKs, and 30 round mags you buried under your used oil barrel in the shed do no good when a burglar breaks in at 3am. Look no further than to Australia for this dynamic. Guaranteed there are many, many banned weapons that were never registered hidden there, but gun ownership is at an all-time high with weapons that conform to their laws.

I thought Custer lost.

I'm an NRA member. I just never bothered to put their seal on my posts.

Why? I think we all ought to be proud of our National Rifle Association.

If you give up your AR, you might as well give up the rest of them. They will be back for them before long and you will have no recourse that time.

right here...what he said ^^^^^^^^ that sums it up....and gives you your answer

 

[Stirling]

I liked my .44 mag Winchester trapper around the house, the M1 Carbine or Ruger Mini 14 would work too. M1 Garand would make for a decent fighting rifle or M1A, not a ugly black gun either. I don't mind my Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.II if semis are out.

 

[armenius]

How about a 30-06 Pump Action with detachable magazine.

A good selection if all else fails.You can buy larger magazines 10 rounds,and could probably fabricate a 20 round one.

AK,SKS, M1, M1Carbine, L1A1 and a good old Model 12
