Excluding Battlefield Pickups,  If  you had to choose the Only 3 Weapons & Ammo of the rest of your life (To Start out) ??? Mine would be (Mak 90) (USGI1911A1) (Ithaca model 37 Riot 12 Ga.)

Howitzer, shotgun, 44 mag, and a shitload of Claymores, just in case I miss a few of them. :D

By the way, were pretty much neighbors, I live up in the Sierra above Sac.

Kimber 45ACP, M1A or AR 10, Mossberg Defender.

My choices:

S&W 686 (7 rounds of 357 goodness, and highly reliable)
Henry Lever action 22 (perfect for anything this side of a deer)
Rossi R92 10 shot 357 lever (perfect for anything from deer size up)

Only two calibers needed (and only one centerfire - reload with just a single set of dies and a single press), can take any game you'll find without wasting meat, and all are extremely reliable, clean operating, and effective.  They just don't jam...

.22 single shot Rifle that can handle short, long and long rifle rounds

.357 magnum revolver, large frame.

12 Gauge shotgun, pump action.

Ammo: .22 lr, .45 ACP, .308 nato

Firearms: muzzle suppressors for all of the following- M1A, Ruger 10/22, H/K Tactical

Don't ask me if I like suppressors!  :)) :)) ;D

A 222 rifle 

The .357 Magnum Colt Python  (My wife love her .357  ;D  )

20 Gauge shotgun, pump action only.

And a wife that can use 2 out of 3.  She like the 12 gauge shotgun.  8)

Then I can count Solar as one of my weapons....

Personal preference is a shotgun... :)

 Something in 5.56

Something in 12 GA.

Something in 9 mm

Ammo should be easy to find for all. ;D I own 2 of 3 now. Looking to get that 9mm, just haven't quite found or figured out what I want yet. :-\

I'll hazard a guess and say your thumb got between your elbow and your pinkie and you meant to type ".22" instead of "222." But there was a time when I owned a "222" rifle, an old Remington Model 788 in .222 Rem. caliber. To this day, I kick myself for ever letting that one go. Ugly it was, minimal fit and finish, birch stock, clunky, the bolt rattled around in the receiver like a marble in a tin can. It was Remington's offering to the poor man who wanted a bolt-action Remington. But my goodness... when the rubber met the road, my ol' 788 put the rest to shame.

I was a handloader in those days, and I played with that gun and its loads until I hit a near-perfect formula, which I still remember. Once-fired military .223 brass reformed and trimmed and tumbled clean in my shop; 19.5 grains of DuPont IMR 4198 powder; CCI small rifle primer; Hornady 52-gr. hollow-point boat-tail match bullet. Factory shells through that gun scattered inch-and-a-half groups at 100 yds. With my loads, I could print five shots on paper that I could cover with the tip of my index finger -- one ragged hole. Groundhogs out to 330 yards -- with a rangefinder and adjustable scope -- were my meat. (Well, figuratively speaking; it ain't bad, but it ain't steak.)  :P :P :P

:P   No lol it was a 222 my uncle gave it to me around 1956.  ;D   He had a adjustable scope put on it.  He was on a shooting team when he came back for the war for a long time.  They all enjoyed down range shooting.  He also was a handloader.   Most of there shooting was 500yds +  all of them were ex military men.  They could make a gun do thing I could only dream of.   :))

If we're allowing people, I take Chuck Norris.  I don't need anything else, I win... ;D
