From what is currently commerically available (no NFA or prebans) what would they be? Keep in mind a variety of applications.
Figure I need a shotgun, a handgun and a few rifles. OK, for the shotgun I'd probably go for a Remington 870, especially if I was on a budget. Gonna get a single handgun to cover all my needs so I'm probably looking at a HK USP or a Sig 226. If budget were a factor I'd go with a Beretta 92 FS. The first 2 rifles are easy; AR15 carbine with A2 buttstock and a DSA FAL. The AR15 would be the general all purpose SHTF rifle and the FAL would be for anything at distance (probably want optics on it). Last rifle would probably be a pistol caliber carbine and my choices would be a RRA 9mm AR or a Beretta Storm. |

20" 'A2' AR
Savage 10FP Beretta 92F Saiga 12 shotgun 1911 -or- HK USP (.45ACP, both full size) |
|
I'd buy 5 Barrett M82s. I'd keep 1, and sell the other 4 to get an AR, an M1A, a shotgun, a pistol, and all the nifty add-ons for each.
|
|
To my:
20" Bushmaster Remington 700 LTR Glock 20 I would add: Saiga 12 and either a 16" 1:7" 5.56 AR15 or a FAL carbine. |
|
1. Baby Eagle 9mm
2. DPMS AR-15 20" heavy stainless 223 3. " AR 308 4. Rem. 12ga. Supermag 20" 5. S&W K-17 6" 22lr rev. |
|
If I were only going to have 5 guns my main issue, especially if the SHTF, would be that they are easy to maintain and that parts for them be readily available.
Remington 870 Berretta 92F AR15 M4 AR15A2 M1 or possibly Savage 110FP |

Remington 870 12 gauge

All of the following would be tricked out with all the fixins:
1. CAR-10(T) - .308 power, [even if I do have to use 10rd mags, every shot counts], mags interchangable with M1A and other AR-10s, ultra compact, easy to get reliable parts for, free-float barrel, FF RAS, two stage trigger, steel barrel (good & bad), & flattop. 2. AR-10A4 - .308 power, [even if I do have to use 10rd mags, every shot counts], mags interchangable with M1A and other AR-10s, long, chrome lined barrel, & flattop. 3. P99 .40 cal - with tritium & steel guiderod. 4. Winchester 1300 Defender - simple and cheap, high capacity, throw away and who cares. 5. Ruger .357 revolver - uses either .38 or .357, doesn't spit casings all over the place. My wife wants one. |

I like Zardoz's plan, but to stay in "the spirit" of the question, here goes
1-Remington 870 12 gauge supermag, if it's not cheating I want a bird barrel, a rifled barrel with cantelivered scope mount and a shorter defensive barrel. 2-Remington 700 BDL in .308 3-Glock 19 I could get by with just that. 4- Bushmaster patrolman's carbine 5-Hmm no HK91, so I guess a DSA FAL. I think I'd take that over a M1a. I could get by with a nice Garand also. |

1.)Bushy M4A3 all the fixings
2.)Another M4A3 3.)FAL or M1A 4.)Benelli M1 Super 90 5.)Kimber Custom II/TLE 1911 .45ACP. |

Maximum versatility from what's available today.
Had to make us think today... 1. [b]Remington 870 Super Magnum Express 12-ga. shotgun[/b] With extra bbls. and grip/buttstocks and any other accessories needed to fully utilize the basic platform. 2. [b]Ruger GKGP-161 .357 revolver[/b]. Uses .38 Spl./.357 Mag. Can be used for self-protection and hunting. 3. [b]Beretta NEOS .22 pistol.[/b] Rumor has it they're coming out with a carbine kit to transform it into a rifle. This gives you both a .22 pistol and rifle, though not at the same time. 4. [b]Bushmaster AR15/XM15E2S.[/b] One of the few that can use, ahem, 'bad-boy' parts, if need be. Many options for upper configurations, calibers, sighting devices. Anything from self-defense to hunting to to target shooting to use as an offense weapon. 5. [b]ArmaLite AR10.[/b] Similar reasons to own this as the AR15, plus the benefit of bigger basic caliber and other options for uppers, such as ArmaLite's own magnum offering. These are the [b]5[/b] that I pick today. edited to add: It seems that when I open the safe, all of the above have taken up residence already except for the AR10, which is paid for, but not delivered yet (2003 SEBR). I must remember to congratulate myself on such fine choices! [:D] |

Oh, my GOSH.
Don't let my Wife see that other post. She'd say, "Well, then! I guess you could SELL everything else!" [X] I'd have to say, "...uh, no, HoneyPie. I'm gonna get the other UPPERS and stuff!" [:E] |

Heres my picks...
1 shotgun...remmy 870 or benelli super 90 2 handgun...H&K USP Tac .45 3 CQB rifle...bushmaster flattop M4 , aimpoint ML2, ARMS #40, surefire light system 4 Battle rifle.. M1A 5 Long range...Remington PSS with leupy LR optics and badger rings |

i guess since these are the 5 i own, then it would be these.

Well, considering I only own 5 firearms at the moment, that's easy...
1. Registered M16/M4 (consider it a post-ban Bushmaster M4A3 for this thread) 2. Benelli M1014 shotgun 3. Remington 700PSS 4. H&K USP 45 Tactical handgun 5. Remington shotgun for deer/turkey/small game hunting |

If this was IT, and no more allowed EVER(DAMN, it gives me chills just typing that!!!)
In order of importance: 870 Marine Magnum or 870 Police CZ75B 9mm AKM 47(best available at the moment, although my SAR-1 would probably suffice) DSA FAL Ruger 22/45, with 5 and 1/2" bull barrel I'd be looking for guns that'd be durable, reliable,and meet any future needs - and I believe I could "make do" with those... Now granted, I'd be sorely missing my 700 bolt guns, Bushmaster, and 452 American - but I view a .22LR as a necessity, also - and the idea of having only one handgun isn't appealing to me, sooo... Gotta have a reliable 12ga, and the AK and FAL cover ALOT of needs, including close quarters, long range(somewhat), and could even take big game in a pinch(hey, you've GOTTA eat, right?) - Not to mention lots of cheap, readily available mags... - georgestrings |

What's with all these 92FSs? An AF PJ was recently quoted as saying "Beretta means 'malfunction' in English". [:D]
Plus, it's a rinky-dink 9mm. |
