I live in Missouri, and my family is all from the rural Ozarks. My great grandfather had 1 gun his whole life, a single shot, 12 gauge. He used that gun for home protection and hunting. It was all he ever needed.

For those who have a general idea of what's coming & based on what's already transpired all by design of course I would think most peoplr example the convid19 plannedemic which was a trial run so they could see & collect data on what percentage of the population complied to an ever changing controlled narrative which all came from repitition by those overpaid soulless teleprompter reading talking heads on the corporate owned mainstream (fakestream) CIA mk-ultra "Operation Mockingbird" propaganda listen to their experts so called news which in the end it was meant to confuse those who followed it & regurgitated it due to their lack of critical thinking skills, laziness & being dumbed down & distracted by a lifetime of being programmed by the t.v. the best brainwashing tool ever along with weapinized technology where tge majority of people today have become socially retarded & full of fear because they are glued to their phones in the matrix living in a virtual reality. Thanks to the social engineers & social influencers used on television, Hollywood movies, the personalities on reality tv shows, in professional sports, the pop stars who are stripping away morals while sexualizing children, teens & adults popularizing & normalizing bad behavior along with drug & alcohol abuse , those Hollywood celebrities who sold their souls & those corrupt treasonous controlled politicians, who along with other global leaders, CEO's from big corporations, social media platforms, facebook; Twitter, Amazon to to people like Bill Gates a 3rd generation eugenicist are figureheads who are all playing their roles on the worlds stage & lets not forget Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Cortez, Schumer & Kamilla Cameltoe Harris all actors selected for their roles in what is known as scripted political theater where including leaders like Putin, the Korean & Chinas dictator who resemble and look more like the cast of characters or villians in an Austin Powers movie and just like in WWE Wrestling behind the curtains they are all friends who smile, shake hands & socialize at DAVOS meetings with the likes of Klaus Schwab. All the unelected people at Rge U N. The W.H.O. The W.E.F. (Klaus Schwav) etc. I got off topic but as I was saying the programmed masses a5e enabling the ongoing agendas which is leading to total enslavement & depopulation using bio warfare, DEW Firea, food shortages, famine starvation World War 3 Nuclear attacks, the economic collapse all by design which leads us to the 1 world digital currency and where have I seen that phrase Order Out Of Chaos? oh yeah rite on American money or votes of debt as 80% of all US currency in circulation has been printed in the last few years oh tge national debt etc. They want to bring down the US the country where the people have more rigjts & freedom & guns unlike any other country which is a major threat to those handful in power who are outnumbered but Shhh" most are to dumb to know they have more power in numbers compared to the evil psychopaths in control rite now & who are all guilty if treason to crimes against humanity. As for guns .its better to have one & not need it then needing one and not having one WELL GUESS WHAT ANERICANS TOU HAVE 100MILLIION + GUNS & YOU BETTER WAKE UPVAND TOGETHER UNITE ^ EXETCISE THE 2ND AMENDMENT BEFORE ITS TO LATE All the wealthy elites & millionaires & billionaires will be safe & cozy in their underground bunkers while its gonna be Luke Tge ypunger Fames meets Mad Max2 meets Rge Walking meets Tge Purge once shit hits the fan !!!!!!

I was born in raised in our family holler in Southeastern Ky in Harlan County, a stone throws away from Big Stone Gap VA. We grew and raised most of what we ate we went to town for very little. My papaw raised me and my cousins up on single shot shotguns and squirrel hunting with 32 and 36 caliber flintlocks. I left for the Marines for 12 years, was an Infantry Rifleman, and got into Recon before I got out. But with all my time spent with these highspeed weapons in combat, my heart belongs to a flintlock rifle. Just something beautiful about them.

I wanted a 22 hornet but could not find one. I stumbled across an only JM stamped marlin bolt action 22 mag and I love it. Laws were changed so the pa fall season is shotgun only so I never got the chance to get a turkey with it but I’ve had it in the woods a few times. Whoever sold it probably misses it

You can buy dies to make #10 and #11 caps. The kit comes with a TON of makings for impact sensitive primer powder. I stamp my caps from rolled copper sheet, but you can use aluminum cans too. Probably get 100 caps or so from one can if you are really efficient. The roll copper works better because its significantly thinner and more maleable than aluminum. If you run out of primer compound for caps, you can make from strike anywhere match heads. Just crush the match heads into powder and mix them *carefully* with powdered red phosphorous from the striker strip on the box. I charge each cap with a flintlock pan primer tool and set/harden the compound with a single drop of high proof rubbing alcohol from an eyedropper. They work extremely well, they snap hot enough to ignite paper cartridges in my 52 Navy Colt. Thats a fine looking vintage TC Hawken sir. I have the cap gun version of that exact rifle, which I recently inherited.

The late step brother in Nova Scotia had but one gun, kinda sorta. He owned an H&R single shot set. It was orginally a .30-30 & 20 ga combo with separate detachable barrels. He later bought a solo 12 ga, swapped out that barrel with the 20, giving that one (the now new 20ga) to his son. Used it on everything from bear to ducks. Still, not my first choice.

This is well thought out and clearly based on experience. Complete breakdown of society scenarios are interesting mental exercises. But, I always keep coming back to a brick of 22 long rifle and a Ruger, 10/22. In this case a bolt action was mentioned, and 22 WMR ammo. A CZ 457 with a Leuopld 2x7 rimfire scope, total cost less than $900.00. A person should probably invest at least as much in ammo as was spent on the rifle, so that would be 4000 rounds of 22 WMR for approximately $1,000.00. Total less than $2,000.00. At 2 rounds per week that’s almost 40 years of ammo. This actually is a pretty deluxe weapon and cartridge. A person could accomplish this for less than half of this cost with, for example, a couple of 10/22’s and 22lr. An additional advantage of a more modern weapon is ease of use. It would be really beneficial if everyone in your family, from young children to the elderly are able to use it. How long are we going to be hunter gatherers? Without modern medicine, forty years would probably be a lifetime. I’ve hunted to supplement my family’s meat. My children are adults now, and I’m an old man, but my experience leads me to say, without modern agriculture, and modern medicine, 4 years would probably be a lifetime. This isn’t meant to be an argument, just additional thoughts.

It’s called a 22 and 308 bolt actions. One for small critters and the other for everything else.

So for shorter term, I like to have an old military rifle, and make sure I got at least a box of ammo that I won’t touch. Old rifles like Mausers, enfields etc…will never breakdown. Ammo is hard to find though, so you really need to manage your supply. A cross bow, or any kind of bow is a good idea to be proficient with as well. But I have been thinking of a flintlock, for the very same reasons you mentioned.

I always thought an old military rifle like you said would be best... then I got to thinking that as far as hunting for food goes, it'd probably be way too powerful for most things a person would actually hunt (squirrels, birds). But great for protecting yourself. I'm starting to think an old military rifle and a .22 would be the way to go. I like your crossbow idea, never thought about that.

@@AJCzarkowski Yes, old military (ww2 era) are way too big for small game, but excellent for big game. Squirrels, birds etc can be taken with almost anything. Snares, traps, modern slingshots, hell I even saw a mini crossbow for squirrels! I like the idea of learning how to use silent methods like traps and sling shots, and bows for bigger game, but you really need to practice it yourself. They aren’t that easy to use. But those ww2 guns won’t break unless you try really hard. They’re also dirt cheap, because ammo can be hard to find and is expensive, unless you reload. I’m gonna get something more modern in 308, because primers have been unavailable since the Ukraine war.

I'm a big Fan of the Marlin model 60. Great dependable gun. Also, when SHTF scenario is on your doorstep, might I suggest a mid level PCP air rifle. The AEA ZEUS is a .72 caliber pre charged pneumatic air rifle that can take down Buffalo. There are several smaller caliber guns out there from .22 to .357 that use slugs, Air is free and lead is cheap

22 LR can be found for 8 cents a round right now. On the site I just looked at, 6300rds of 22 LR for $478.80, free shipping. 22 magnums can be had for .28 - .36 cents a round depending on manufacture and weight. You can buy enough to basically to last you a life time for not that much money and you wouldn't have to worry about finding stuff to make flint or black powder or having lead to make bullets. I do agree that a person needs survival skills ( Living off the land ) in case SHTF and I don't think we are that far from that situation. I would suspect that close to 99% of the people here in the USA, even the one's who live in rural areas don't have the skills to survive for too long unless you're a quick study. Just my .02 cents.

If you plan on depending on a flintlock, It would be a good idea to have a extra lock for back up.
@mike4518 ай бұрын
THIS IS TRUE
@Nick-wn1xw6 ай бұрын
Why? It's not like they just fail. Extra mainspring and frizzen spring is all you need if it's a good lock to begin with.
