M1 Garand....
MountainMan:
As much as I love the Garand and M1A for their historical value and rustic, traditional appearance, yes they are pretty guns, I will say if SHTF ditch these guns and get yourself one of these:
This is the DPMS LR-308. It is an AR-10 configuration rifle chambered in the .308 caliber with a 24 inch stainless steel bull barrel for long range accuracy. Thes guns are compatible with SR-25 style 20 rnd .308 magazines. They have reported that these guns are as accurate to 1000 yards with proper ammunition as any bolt rifle. Probably more accurate, considering you don't have to c0ck the bolt after each shot.
This is my gun of choice along with a good Nightforce NXS-15 scope. I am ready for the arabic/urdu/pashto/farsi speaking zombies when they come to my house..

Sadly I think arabic/urdu/farsi speaking zombies will be the last of our problems here in America. I actually fear that what may come a knocking might be a lot closer to home.

Oh yeah forgot the afro zombies too.. Well, I don't know if you realize this, but they found an Al Queda training camp right here in the Pacific Northwest that was being used to train some of the most notorious men right under our noses. YOu think with all the muslims in this country, that you will not have to confront them sooner or later? A good Jewish friend of mine had his life threatened by a Palestinain woman who lived in same town is him. He is at the shooting range every week preparing for the confrontation with her and her sand N*gro raghead cousins , uncles , brothers. YOur enemy is never far away.
So, on that note, buy a gun that has maximum effectiveness for the price, not one that has the most historical value or the best collector's item.
BTW... If your faced with a raghead zombie attack.. forget the shotgun.. You will need something that has high capacity, good penetration and has minimum recovery time between shots. That is, you want to be able to get off as many rounds as possible. A .308 would be great for mid range combat, lets say the ragheads are approaching your hosue from 50 yards away. However, when the jihadists get too close, thats when its time to bust out the AR-15s with 62-70grain hollow point/ballistic tip defense type rounds. These type of cartridges will generally kill a raghead on contact.. And, will allow for fast follow up shots, due to lesser recoil. Our soldiers are stuck using mediocre M855 green tip stuff that is not very effective in expanding and usually will not kill an enemy without pumping 3 or 4 well placed shots into the target. However, civilians are not limited to low grade ammo like our soldiers are.

They are very sharp looking guns and I am sure that they will serve far better than an old M1A. Here on Long Island NY everything is very close together and there is no need for accuracy of more then a few hundred feet in any direction. I tend to think for distance like that a 12 gauge pump or even a double barrel shot gun would be a very good deterrent. The wide swat that a gun like that cuts usually sets all but the most determined animal running.

You rifle is sweet! I used to own Kel Tech SU-16a rifle and did not really like it. It jammed alot and I think 5.56 calibre is just too lacking stopping power.

My next rifle should be SOCOM M14 riflie 7.62mm, something like that:

Shotguns are great for home defense - you have 8 rounds and the clicking noise that they make is enough to dissuade most intruders.
I also like Magpul Masada and perhaps I will get the new bulpup Tavor in 5.56 or 7.62, if available.
