Yeah, but my reasoning was completely different than what Cstone was thinking..... [Tooth]

Obviously, the best SHTF weapon would be an AK chambered in .40 S&W. That way you can pilfer all the unused ammo after every battle.

When I ventured up to Wyoming to a gun show a few years back I was pondering the possibilities of acquiring a AK parts kit chambered in 5.56.

I was hesitant cause I didn't want to add yet another caliber to my never ending stock list.

Gun dealer says, " Yeah, but when the revolution happens you can pick up ammo off of all the dead cops.... They all shoot 5.56"

I ended up buying the kit...[Coffee]

Anybody know a good .40sw to get???[ROFL1]

Ditto. Same reason I like 9mm and 5.56.

.58 caliber ball? One round each. I shoot first. You are on[Beer]

Irving, I can't imagine an AK in .40 S&W. I think I'm going to need a ruling from Rachel Ray of the AK. Would that round even cycle the action on most AKs?

Besides, I have my Kel Tec Sub 2000 in .40 to go with my Glock 22. I don't need anything else with a long barrel for a pistol caliber.

The more that gets bought, the more gets manufactured. The more made, should lower the price. Should be lots of once fired brass available as well.

Be safe.

1858 is a .45cal. I only got one so you get that, I'll get my 1911.



People have made AKs chambered in .45acp. You make them as a blow back and not gas operated. People also make 7.62x25 blowback versions as well.

I'm sure someone some where has made one in 40sw. There is a guy on another board making a 50bmg AK from scratch. Its in the early stages but its coming along.

That's a lot of ammo.

I don't think you could fit half a billion rounds of anything in your house.

You'll have to store the other half over at mine....

That's actually the story, and sentiment, that I was referring to/making fun of. :D
