A Military Surplus arm as a Survival Arm?

[doehunter]

Just about everyone has there idea of a "good" survival gun.I would have to go with the old style "black" rifles.chambered in 223 for a couple of reasons.one is small rounds are light to carry and no matter the target it does the job.small game doesnt "blow up" when hit,and deer size game drop.and had more than enough punch to knock a person off there feet..the other reason is just about anywhere u can find ammo,u can find 223. just my opinion..
