This question is directed at those individuals who actually carried a rifle into a protracted confrontation with the enemy.
Although I served, it was in the Air Force, and I have no actual combat experience. ( It has been noted that most services send the enlisted into battle, and the officers stay behind, whereas the Air Force [with a few notable exceptions] sends the officers into battle, and the enlisted members stay behind ).
I'm packing a revamped three-day emergency kit for the car, which will include an SKS rifle. Yes, I know it would be far more desirable to pack an AR or the FAL, but the SKS is expendable. If it gets stolen or confiscated, I'll be pissed-off, but not heartbroken.
Along with the rifle, I have 750 rounds of ammunition, a couple packages of stripper clips, and a basic cleaning kit. Is this sufficient?
I've seen armchair commandos recommend packing spare springs, extractors, bolts, trigger assemblies, and all manner of other spares for a semi-automatic rifle. I pretty much doubt that I'd even clean the rifle twice before the ammo was gone in a SHTF scenario.
Feedback from those with real-world experience would be appreciated.
