What’s your SHTF or go-to rifle/shotgun pair?

Nyet Mosin is fine komrade. You kill many Germans. If rifle not fine, I have hammer.

Transferable M16 with Geiselle URGI 11.5, huxwrx, surefire, ACOG. Benelli M4

chewedgummiebears@reddit

I wonder how long the "useless tape on all things" trend will last.

[-]

I watched someone at a 'group training session' wrap co-band around their pressure switches on the back of the handguard. Three magazines later it melted. The tape they had around the A-pillar gas block later caught fire.

[-]

Staffalopicus@reddit

You posted this just to get comments about your yellow tape, didn’t you?

[-]

SergeiMosin@reddit

Similar to yours, just slightly more poor. 16” BCM/Aero/PSA/misc Frankencarbine and a Maverick 88, both with a bunch of krylon camo haphazardly thrown on it.

[-]

ChroniclesOfReddiitt@reddit

‘Rectal use only’ is a fucking brilliant touch 🤣

[-]

PM-PicsOfYourMom@reddit

Yup, PSA pistol build and a maverick 88 security with a cheap stock.

[-]

doulikefishsticks69@reddit

So you have zero interest in long distance shooting lol

[-]

Otakeb@reddit

Most engagements in modern combat, at least from our knowledge of modern war and dangerous encounters/home intrusions, occur within 100 yards.

I've always had the mentality that most focus on gear and training for STHF scenarios needs to be on urban combat and medium distance encounters for this reason.

Also, if you DO happen to find yourself in a long distance encounter, the chances your adversary has the equipment and training to successfully engage at 500 yards or further are very low and you would generally just avoid the encounter entirely.

I have a M7 and a OKC-3S too

[-]

VanillaIce315@reddit

It was hard for me to choose, but I went with an OKC-3S for my 20” rifle. Love me a good bayonet

[-]

Clyde-MacTavish@reddit

I've got a very similar setup, including moving the sling mount to the secondary position. Have you run into any issues with not having a screw on the front of the mag tube now?

[-]

GenericUsername817@reddit

No, never had one on the front of the tube

[-]

Clyde-MacTavish@reddit

okay sick yeah I don't like that position for mounting a sling... specially with the bayonet!!

Why the yellow tape? You trying to attract honey bees?

[-]

g00kf00t@reddit

Why does Reddit work like this, where cringe comments by drive-bys are upvoted and totally pollute the discussion with BS? Like this commenter doesn't even post on gun related subs, but a cringe one-liner gets updoots on a post about SHTF guns?

[-]

ChrisWhiteWolf@reddit

How is a question a cringe comment that pollutes the discussion?

Bcm raider upper, on a psa stealth lower, and a M&p 9.

illestdomer2005@reddit

About to do a Mock 12 build with the 13” Raider rail. Love it.

[-]

Independent_Bid_26@reddit

Yeah, I was honestly surprised by how little it weighed when compared to my original mlok psa upper. I feel like it weighs about the same, or even less but I will have to weigh it.

[-]

illestdomer2005@reddit

I was between it and the Geissele Mk4 but got the BCM for much less.

[-]

Independent_Bid_26@reddit

Yeah, I paid about double for the BCM upper, vs the whole rifle from PSA. Haha.

Sad-Ocelot-5346@reddit

I only have one suitable shotgun, a Kel-Tec KS7. There's only three choices for the rifle. If I'm looking to minimize ammunition, then it needs to be the Sub 2K so that I'm only carrying 9 mm, because you got to have a handgun, too, right? I might rather have the rifle be the PS 90 since the ammunition for that are not bulky. If my wife is included in activities, she prefer the AR so that one's going to come along anyway. A bit hard to choose between the first two...

i hadn't heard of the wk-180 before but sks is a solid rifle

Ar-180 variants became super popular in Canada after ar-15 variants were banned.

Nice which ACOG and reticle

[-]

RiveredNuts@reddit

TA31 with red chevron, got it zeroed with 62gr at 100m and thee BDC works for me with 16” barrel no suppressor. I also bought another ACOG I got as backup or potentially out on another AR of mine that is horseshoe . I prefer the chevron but I got an amazing deal from private sale and couldn’t say no. Emailed Trijicon before buying it to make sure it was authentic and it was 2024 production so tritium good to go for another decade or longer. I’m a big fan of the acog but I always run an offset RMR on QD mount 45degree because I believe they are amazing glass but eye relief and set up alone is not good for close quarters.

[-]

RegardedCaveman@reddit (OP)

Same here except no red dot because astigmatism.

Btw when it’s time to replace the tritium you can request a different reticle

[-]

RiveredNuts@reddit

What does that cost from your house to shop service and back all together?

[-]

RegardedCaveman@reddit (OP)

IIRC they said around 300 but I bought one of these illuminators instead

What remote view target system are you using here?

[-]

RiveredNuts@reddit

Local 1000m range has them, next time I’m there I’ll have to look at what company they use I’m not for sure. Pretty nice set up for zeroing rifles.

[-]

RiveredNuts@reddit

Very similar set up, colt M4 acog/590A1 18.5……although about to pull the trigger on a different m4(Benelli) and that’d take the 590 spot. Then sidearm of choosing, probably a 9mm because of ammo availability but also not against pistol rounds starting with 4’s on my side.

[-]

Controlled_Chaos98@reddit

Unfortunately I live in a Wack state (IL) so no AR for me. I do however have an 870 police magnum shotgun

That a single shot break action? How long is the barrel

[-]

JelCapitan@reddit

lol yeah just a cheap 20 gauge I had fun with. Cut the barrel to 18 and put some stuff on it. I mostly use it with a insert and shoot 357mag with it

[-]

TacosNGuns@reddit

In the 90’s HBO had a series on guns and violence in America. One episode had a mad that defended his home with a single shot shotgun. One shot end the intruder. Dude who shot was traumatized to say the least. I guess my point is a single shot has absolutely devastating power.

[-]

RegardedCaveman@reddit (OP)

Honestly if it’s not very heavy it would make a good apocalypse scrounging gun

[-]

Strict-Wedding6687@reddit

Savage Stevens 887 (15 round tube of 22 lr) and Mossberg 500 with 18.5 & 28 accu choke with mod. Rifle has a 3-9x40 and the 500 has a vortex Crossfire 2 red dot. (Cause even if you're wearing plates ribs don't feel good in your lungs)

honestly 22lr and 12 ga. might be the most practical combo 👍

What is this

[-]

Paint-Crysis@reddit

Looks like a Kel-Tec KSG. Bullpup pump shotgun with dual feed tubes. I've heard they're a little tricky to cycle. Think they made a normal single feed version later on. Probably more practical.

[-]

illestdomer2005@reddit

KelTec KSG 12ga. The looks we got from the pheasant shotties were exactly what you would expect.

[-]

preparedbassfisher@reddit

Personally it would be two ARs or one AR and a 308 bolt once I can learn to shoot one

DetColePhelps11k@reddit

Too new to guns and too poor to have more guns than my Anderson AR-15 and my Beretta A300. One day, I'll be like you cool cats with your optics, chokes, and your having more than one of each weapon type.
