Like many people on this forum, I have a limited amount of money and space for my guns. Unfortunately for me its the end of the line for guns. I can only get one more rifle. I dont really have any calibers in mind, i already have 2 ar's, a stag and a bushmaster, a cx4 storm in 9mm a ak-47, and a ptr-91 sf. .308. As for handguns, im already finished with those, and my last handgun purchase was the m&p s&w 45, full size. No im not really into ww2 rifles more modern is what i like. I like the bullup, but 1600 is way to much for a gun the ar could out perform. I was looking into getting, when it comes out and with in price range, getting the msar carbine, which accepts the glock 17 mags. So if any of you guys can help me out on this decision i would appreciate it. Thanks- |

MSAR also has the optics ready model. It is in your price range. If your looking for a glock compatible option, you could go with an Oly 9mm rifle. You can use the 33 round mags in it and it is fun to shoot. Or you could go cheaper and get a Kel Tec in 9mm glock mag compatible. It is compact. The only other bull pup that I would recommend is the M17 from Bushmaster. I think CDNN investments has a few for 750. Good luck. Max |

What, no .22? I can't believe that you don't have at least one .22, especially with todays ammo prices. Get a Ruger 10/22 and trick it out anyway you want. The 10/22 has almost as many aftermarket parts and accessories as an AR, or so it seems. They are fun, reliable(best with factory mags), decently accurate(especially with a good target barrel and a scope), easy to work on and customize, and most of all they are cheap to shoot. BTW, good luck limiting yourself to "just one more". Many here have tried that and failed, including myself. |
Yeah dude. I said that with my last 10/22. Now I'm buying a second.  One last gun is like sitting at a party saying...'This is my last drink'. Never happens. You just keep buying guns until you're dead. buy a 10/22 though, if you don;t have one. ammo prices are still cheap and you can shoot it all day long for next to nothing. |
I would say get a DSA FAL but since you have a PRT, get another one of those and a 10/22. I am in the mindset of making sure you have two of your SHTF guns. You already have two AR's, now have two MBR's. If you don't like your PRT, sell it and get two DSA FAL's. |

+1 if you don't have a good .22lr like the 10/22 nows the time to buy one. Even a Ceiner conversion for your AR's instead is a good idea. That .22LR is going to be one of the most valued guns you have if things get bad with shtf and you need to get out hunting game for food. Big game is going to be far between finding smaller stuff to put meat on the table. After that since you've already got one PTR91 a second for parts commonality and a backup is a solid choice.

Sounds like you need a bigger safe that solves the probem

 Ever tried just setting up a bunch of cans and crap downrange and just plinking with a .22? Crazy fun! I've owned a lot of cool guns in my time, but in terms of guns that I've had the best time with, my favorites are my old Stevens and Marlin .22's. The 10/22 is fun as well, but it's set up as a precision paper-punching rifle, and I don't like running tons of cheap stuff through it. I say give .22's another chance! |
Yeh, that's great and all for shooting paper and other nonedible targets, but 9mm, .45ACP, .223, .308, .762x39 and lots of other calibers don't leave much left of a squirrel when your hungry.
