Any thoughts, advice, personal experience on the Mini14 tactical? Had one and like an idiot, went back to an AR. Only issue seems to be magazine costs. Are there after market mags that work? Not interested in an AK. :o)

Midway USA has OEM Ruger 20 round magazines on clearance for $19.99 each.

Im new here to the forum, so I figured I'd ask a question that I've had for about a year now.... It seems that a lot of the complaints from Iraq and Afghanistan are coming from troops that are reporting that the 5.56 doesn't have enough stopping power, sometimes taking 2,3,4,5 shots to stop the...

I have read two different schools of thought as far as aquiring & maintaining a SHTF stock. I have a pretty basic arsenal, but it suits my situation. The standard 22lr,12 guage,a simple & durable defensive/hunting rifle(sks) & 3 handguns in .45ACP,10mm & .380ACP. My question is would it be...

i am on a serious budget and would most likely have to sell a couple of guns to get this (ones im not needing). My friend has a Savage bolt action in .223 that i would also like to get and it strikes me as a great compromise for a main SHTF rifle. it is accurate out to my farthest range, which...

I own several rifles in .223. They are fun to shoot. I would not shoot a deer with one. I would always choose something larger. So, I ask myself (after TEOTWAWKI) why would I stake my life and the lives of my loved ones on a round with the following limitations? - Marginal kill power for...

The Reality of SHTF Weaponry for the Newly Awakened United States Citizen Many of us have examined and debated the SHTF scenarios to point of mental exhaustion and I wanted to try and create the most comprehensive and detailed analysis of the topic for the ‘Newly Awakened’; city dwellers who...

Anyone have any opinions on this? I REALLY wanted an AR15, but I'm concerned about the reliability and ruggedness of the AR, plus it doesn't look as evil as the AR or AK. I have a few guns as it is, but nothing I would carry as my primary defense. I have: -XD subcompact 9mm as my carry peice...
