AK47 that was imported from Romania by M+M Inc.

I googled and it looks like a cool looking AK. I like the flash suppressor/muzzle brake on the end as well.

That many? Wow!

I used to own one or two scary guns, but then I went boating . . .

>>>>My bro in law had one of those 25-06. Pretty cool.. Yup, should have said 7.62.<<<<

.25-06 is a worth a second look, for sure. Slightly lighter projectiles than .270 WIN (which is the other most common necked down .30-06 (or .30-'03) Springfield, but enough to retain favorable, effective terminal ballistics, the 'getting there' being half the fun...

BUT when talking about the original AK-47 round, it's best identified as 7.62x39. That last is more what you should have said.

.308 is also "7.62".

7.62x51 Nato and .308 WIN, are all but entirely interchangeable. Most any sporting rifle will safely and reliably fire any of the various 7.62 NATO rounds.

There is a 7.62x54R, also.

Please forgive my stridency, but offhandedly referring to the Soviet Kalashnikov round as "Seven six two" is something I hear a lot of young guys do. I serious doubt very many Americans, when in Vietnam in the 1960's, and early to mid-1970's spoke about gook ammo as 7.62, since 7.62 NATO went into M-60's and M-14's...

.30-06 is 7.62 also (7.62x64) although most always referred to as .30-06 Springfield, or just "ought-six".

Please, don't refer to the AK round as seven-six-two. It can be misleading to children. (I hear 'em say it!)

22 long rifle, 9 millimeter, 30-30,5.56,7.62x39,12 gauge.

It’s pretty easy to store nice amount of these calibers and you’re fairly well covered for the various uses of a firearm with these. For the shotgun 00 buckshot, number 4 buckshot some basic bird shot and some slugs.

Your list is an obvious reason for redistributing your wealth.

To me.

[baltimorepoet]

LOL. Well I only have 14 so far, with 13 more to go.

And of course, there’s always much more to it that just that... load-bearing vest, all the pouches, etc.

Also on my list is a plate carrier and ballistic plates.

I love my G3 with wooden furniture with this round.

You can score some great weapons at pawn shops, just do your homework and be prepared to walk on a bad price. Don’t be rude just thank them and walk off. Come back in a few weeks and make the same offer on the weapon if it is still on the shelf, they might just take you up on it and they love cash. Fail to do your homework and you can get skinned alive.

"I love my G3 with wooden furniture with this round."

That's one sweet rifle. An M1A Scout dressed in wood is also a really nice semi-auto rifle for the 308/7.62 round.

.223 Wylde is a chamber design.
It will accept both .223 and 5.56, which are the same cartridges but the 5.56 is often loaded with a longer, heavier bullet. Wylde eliminates the throat and free-run problem.

[Myrddin]

The reason for posting the .223 Wylde information is to help in selecting a rifle that can fire both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem equally well. A 1:8 twist is a decent compromise for most of the ammunition on the market. Anderson and Bear Creek offer complete rifles with .223 Wylde chambers with your choice of 1:7, 1:8 or 1:9 twist. EABCO also offers barrels with Wylde chambers with a choice of twist. I build my rifles from parts, so getting exactly what I want is an option.
