One rifle and one pistol - Winchester lever action carbine in .45LC. Single or double action revolver in same round.

Add shotgun - 12 or 16 ga coach gun

Add holdout gun - Derringer in .22 LR

Add long range rifle - M-1 or M-14 clone

Can I give up the handgun and have two long guns?

I really don't care too much about handguns,don't get me wrong we have owned quite a few in varying calibers but if it was down to two firearms I would go without the handgun and have a pump shotgun(870 most likely) and a semi-auto rifle....most likely a FAL...although not the FAL I currently own.

A Para FAL with 18'' barrel.

My Remington 7600 in 30-06 and my Glock 32 in 357 Sig with interchangable barrels for 40S&W.

Remington slide-action 30.06
.45LC revolver.

Rifle - Colt AR15 7.62

Shotgun - Mossberg model 500 pistol grip 12 gauge (for close range indoor defense).

Hydra Shoks in the handgun as always.

I couldn't make a choice like that so I guess it'd be the last two left.

I just finished this one tho & for the time being its my favorite. Till the next one comes along.

Just a little Marlin 1894 25/20. I put together from parts. Wish I could say I did the metal finishing, but my gunsmith needs to make a living too.

Since the Thompson SMG I own doesn't fall into either of those catagories, I'll have to say that the M1 Garand 30-06 would be my choice for a rifle. Although not a great home defense weapon, it is one of the most realiable rifles ever manufactured. Handgun would be the M1911.

I'm sorry, I didn't specify. For that reason, there's no way you should have known. Anyway, they are 22 Long Rifle, made by Federal, and just under $14 per box of 550 rounds. I bought a few boxes, just to be sure I had enough.

Nice rifle, Tin Knocker. I love the case hardening. Your gunsmith did a beautiful job.
