Which Rifle(s)/Caliber(s) Do I "Need" Added To My Collection?

As for a FAL, a STG 58 is a good one. The one I have is one of my favorite rifles.

I think everyone needs a 22 rifle. Period...... Also a good reliable carry gun, a tool that's completely different from every other gun. Something you don't mind getting knocked around and wet and basically abused. I picked glock because It fit me better, but there are a lot of manufacturers that fill this roll these days. I also think everyone needs an accurate bolt action rifle, I don't have a lot of money so I went savage and for the money its hard to get a more accurate rifle out of the box. I also think everyone needs a pump action 12 gauge, a 1911, a revolver of some type, something black powder, an AR and an AK. I built my own AR using parts from PSA, and as far as AK's go, I have a Saiga that I converted and a VZ 2008, and I honestly think the VZ is better, and it was an amazing deal $400 with 5 mags cleaning kit and mag pouch. Those in my opinion are the absolute must haves, at any budget. After that the list gets larger and larger depending on the amount of money you have to spend. Of course I believe every able-bodied man should have an m1 garand no more than a foot from him at any time, but because we don't live in a truly free country and can't get guns to be imported back into our country that are due to us I can't afford one. I'm only just now looking into CMP, but it looks like its a bit of a process. More importantly though you need to make sure you have a lot of ammo for every gun you already have, before you go buying more guns. Everything keeps getting more and more expensive and the sooner you can buy it, the cheaper it is. Nothing would suck more than having a great gun that the ammo is now expensive for.

I always think of current US military rounds and NATO -

9mm
45ACP
.22LR
5.56x45 / .223
7.62×35 / 300 BLK
7.62x51 / .308
.30-06
.338 Lapua Magnum
12.7×99 / .50 BMG
20x102mm / 20mm Vulcan
12 Gauge

I only mentioned some pistol calibers because there are some great rifles out there that use them.
9mm AR-15 and the Tommy gun comes to mind.

It's always nice to have one that not everyone has, especially if it is one that has gone out of style. Excellent guns can be had for cheap. .257 Roberts, .218 Bee, etc.

glock 20, 10mm is awesome. heavy wall 18-20" long barrel 308 bolt action is on my short list.

 

[Toughestsoldiers]

A nice lever action, either in .30-30 or a pistol caliber you already shoot.
