My budget is 1k, +/- $200. I have a preference right now for semi-auto's that might become unavailable if the democrats win in the fall. Here's what I have now, what should I buy next and why? AR-15's - bushmaster, oly M4's, 2 DPMS stripped lowers, 1 oly 9mm glock car JLD PTR 91 w/ retractable stock Springfield SOCOM M1a Sig 556 2 Yugo underfolder AK-47's AMD-65 SA M1 Garand I'm running out of room in the fun safe, so I'm trying to be a little more discerning, but I don't like to break the bank with purchases. I'm thinking FAL or higher end AK, am I missing anything? Thanks. |

I've already got the PTR-91, though I may pick up a spare fixed stock set for it. The FAL is a possibility, although locally they are hard to find to examine prior to purchase. The SVD is intriguing, quick look at gunbroker indicates I might have to settle for the romanian version. Any experience with it personally? Is the fit/finish better than typical romak AK's I've seen recently? Can I get a better deal than gunbroker would lead be to believe on a non romanian SVD type rifle? Other possibles - an arsenal RPK type rifle at local gun store, only downside is 5.56 chambering rather than 7.62x39mm. Thanks for input. |

Well so far you are off to a great start. I myself am looking into a semi 308 and thinking a DSA FAL. You however already have a SOCOM16 so I would give another M1A serious thought. ETA:You already have 3 rifles I see in 7.62X39 and a NM M1A just looks great next to a M1Garand |

I've got .22's in the collection, have shot them since I was a kid, don't actually get as much value out of that practice now as I do with full power rounds. So I'll skip the upgraded .22. The AK-74 is an option from a cheap ammo perspective, but ballistically I don't think it buys me anymore than my AR's. So I might be better off pouring that cash into reloading supplies for the 5.56. I'm thinking it will be either SVD, FAL, or if I can find an older M1A standard or match, I'll go that route. I've got a ton of mags for my SOCOM, so another rifle wouldn't be bad. Thanks for the input. Next time I'll include pics of the collection. |
