I'm with with MB on the Glock 22 and quality AR15 except the AR would be the pack gun. I'd want mostly pistol/sbr length uppers in pretty much any caliber that would fit on the one lower. That's from .22lr to 6.8 or whatever folks use to reach out with an AR15. I'd treat it like a take down rifle and use each upper for specfic tasks. Would think I could keep .223 and a .22 conversion in a pack and keep the rest of the uppers stashed away for when needed. If I was to "bug out" it would just be with the .223 upper and hopefully at least a .22lr conversion kit.

As for the Glock I'd want every conversion option that would fit on the 22 frame including .22lr. I've just seen way more Glocks than any other handgun so if I only had one my chances for finding compatible parts would be higher than my with M&P. I prefer the M&P and I'm actually considering getting a used .357 Sig so I run it with .357 Sig, .40, and 9mm barrel.


As for a long gun I'm going to say a 14" Remington 870 12 gauge with a set of caliber adapters. Again I own and prefer a different make/model but I've seen a few more 870 shotguns and clones than Mossbergs. I would want the 870 if there was no chance of ever seeing any new parts ever again. I'm picking a shotgun more for the idea if surviving as an opportunist than for fighting. I think with a decent selection of adapters and a variety of shells all stuck in a bandolier I could just rack in whatever is needed. Anything from .22lr to heavy slugs or buckshot... I also like that you can top off the tube and mix and match ammo. If I knew what the day called for then I'd break out the AR and use that. If I have to expend a lot of ammo then hopefully the Glock will do. But if the world is crazy then I'd want to be able to adapt to whatever comes my way as fast as I can.



If it was only from why I own now... M&P 9, 10/22, and I have no idea what I would use for a pack gun. Nothing I own other than a S2K fits in a pack. Hopefully I will have the upper for my AR lower in the next month or so I'd probably go with that. But this thread has me seriously considering purchasing a 10/22 take down of some flavor.


JYD #82 yup...
