What should I get?

[Dredly]

I'm getting a bonus at the end of January and I'm looking to put it into a new firearm... but I'm a little torn on what I should put the money towards. As I'm sure the AWB will be back I'm definately looking at something that will be slapped by it.

Please vote in the poll and let me know what you guys think

Thats a hard one. It depends on what you already have, and how soon the ban goes into affect.

If you get an Ar and they put a tax on bullets into place will you be able to shoot the AR?

I'd get the AK. That being said I'm in the same "dilemma" and am looking for a Kel-Tec 9mm Glock Carbine.

I want one too

Personally, I'd go the AK route and pick up as much ammo as you can for it and all your guns. Minimum 1,000 rounds per gun.

here is a quick rundown of some items I may or may not have...

Yugo SKS 59 w/ folding stock
Yugo 48? (8mm Mauser)
BPS (Browning pump shotgun)
Ruger M77 (30.06 hunting rifle)
Marlin .22 bolt action

Pistols:
RIA 1911 Officers (my carry piece)
Kahr CW9 (wife's carry)
Bersa .380 (Wife's night stand gun)

I'm leaning towards the AK for inexpensive bang for the buck but I don't know whats going to happen to ammo once the added taxes hit. I'm sure imported ammo will get hit first...

an AR has the benefit of using a known hunting round (.223) so it will probably avoid the Assault Weapon ammo flag, but its already expensive and the rifle itself will use my whole bonus leaving no room for ammo purchase or extra mags / add ons

The hi-cap pistol has the advantage of being something I can carry for full time defense but its lacking severely in the event that something happens where i need more firepower or ranged accuracy.

The conceal weapon will be great for carrying, but if CCW is banned nationally then its just a low-cap home defense weapon which I already have

The shotgun is my last choice as I already have one (BPS) and can get a shorter barrel for it and remove the plug giving me 4 rounds of "you aren't welcome", can also throw a slug barrel on it and use it for hunting when PA goes shotgun only

The .22 is a real consideration for me, .22 ammo is cheap and I have a 2 1/2 year old so he would be able to have a lot of fun with a semi-auto .22 long before he'd be able to shoot a real (expensive) round... but its shit for defense

The "other" rifles and pistol carbines are an option but fall into the "fun but worth it?" question. Expensive ammo (which i'm sure will be taxed heavily) and no real gain over the less expensive AK which will do the job just as well.

I'm torn... I'm really considering splurging and getting an AK and a pistol but I don't know if that is going to be possible at this time... depends on the price of AK's when the time comes and how much my bonus is.


was also thinking about charging one or both now and then paying them off... but without knowing my bonus amount I'm really not to excited about that option

What do you already own, and what do you want to do with it?

I'd say a Glock, or a Ruger Mk 3 (fun .22).

[Whiterook]

Get the AK. You can share ammo with the SKS.

And about this tax on ammo...guys if it comes to that 500% tax I think it is time we....oh nevermind.

Another thought would be a nice 10/22 then spend the extra cash on good mags and ammo.
