    Default From Tacticool to Practical.

    Funny how my collection of guns has evolved over time. I started off collecting all the latest "cool" guns like the SCAR's and FS2000's. Now, I view my selection as more practical for survival. I have an unstoppable AK-47, a more accurate AR-15 with an EoTech, a small game 10/22 Takedown with 4x scope, a semi-auto 12 GA. shotgun with red-dot, and a subcompact Glock 30. All have 500 to 1K+ rounds ready to grab and go in ammo cans. I guess the last piece to the puzzle could be a long range hunting rifle with scope, hmmm...

    I noticed something similar in my collection. I ended up going back to iron sights on all my guns. Lost all the accessories. Went real plain jane.

    I still like the faster targeting of the electronic sights, but all still have BUIS or stock iron sights just in case.

    Sadly, just accessorized it then sold it before I even had a chance to shoot it.

    I don't need some Semi-Auto, state-of-the-art long gun, I just need something that, when SHTF or when I get a license, will get me dinner!
    I can think of a few depending. Fal, PSL, G3. All can be had under a grand. Just a thought.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    From BMW... to mini-van. Sometimes best is not always coolest.

    Do you hear that Ronin? Get a mini-van!

    Sure, I'll get right on that, just as soon as I get castrated

    I think practical is the way to go with most cases- That's why I added the 1911 to my collection of pistols, bought an AK, and now I'm trying to save up for a bolt-action .308... I don't need some Semi-Auto, state-of-the-art long gun, I just need something that, when SHTF or when I get a license, will get me dinner!
