the hell overpriced AR-10 actually more as the Winchester has the barrel length to maximize ballistics

and the up to now glut of M4gerys just want to weigh you down and get you snagged just so you look

kewl.

Lets break it down.

AMMUNITION

The first criteria is, what calibers are out there that can be reasonably assured there will be a supply of.

Not hard to answer that its the kinds of cartridges that you can find in about any sporting goods store,

any rural store, anywhere in America:

.223 Remington, theres bound to be some hunting ammo out for it but with America hyped into getting

an AR type and now like Charlie Brown having the football out from him as he kicks the ATF is claiming

the ARs will be banned by the beginning of February 2013. Look, if you cant get an AR dont worry

about getting a .223, worry about hitting long range and perfecting guerrilla sniping tactics. You can pick

all the ARs and ammo off the corpses.

.243 Winchester, a necked down 308 offering a better ballistic co-efficient and a popular, flat shooting

cartridge, which is mainly chambered for all the common bolt action rifles, and sometimes an AR-10.

7mm Remington Magnum, a flatter shooting long range cartridge than the 300 Winchester Magnum, its

found in a lot of bolt action rifles-even the chintzier entry level hunting rifles. TWICE the recoil of the

30.06 so tuck that Model 700 into your shoulder TIGHT.

270 Remington, a popular hunting round, found in bolt action rifles.

30-30, a shorter range century plus old cartridge that can use blackpowder! With the exception of the

LeveRevolution cartridge with the polymer tip, this caliber is a blunt nosed that will drop rapidly in

trajectory and velocity past 200 yards. Its a close-in brush gun, used in lever action arms.

308 Winchester there may be a single 40 dollar box of premium hunting ammo, which is too bad as

many of the rifles youll find out in the second hand gun market are in this caliber. In the future the only

source will be 147 grain ball on machine gun links.

30-06, Americas number one rifle cartridge, and one of the most versatile that can do everything from

110 grain varmint loads to near 300 win mag performance, and if theres a rifle out there chances are

its chambered for it. In fact, due to its performance and commonality Id make getting a ought six a

priority.

300 Winchester Magnum is used by the U.S. Military. Its also a very popular long range hunting

cartridge. Most hunting rifles with this cartridge wont shoot a BATFAGGOTS steroid shriveled nutsack


3/55

off at 500 yards, youll have to settle for a lower torso shot or maybe a head shot. And heavy recoil,

especially with those mountain rifles that weigh about as much as an umbrella youre signing up for

some quality pain. On the other hand, the enemy will have to wear 50 cal proof body armor to protect

their chest from this brutal round-lifes a tradeoff.

45-70, 19th century blackpowder cartridge, comes in a 400 grain load safe for Trapdoor Springfields and

a much stiffer loading for modern arms. If you have to settle for using this cartridge bear in mind you

will have to KNOW its trajectory intimately to score any hits past 200 yards.

12 Gauge, well, youre either going to find slugs or some kind of birdshot load as buckshots expensive.

Interestingly enough its possible to reengineer that birdshot load into a slug loading by carefully

disassembling the shell, chopping back the wad, and melting the shot in a slug mold. Aim for the head,

legs, groin, as modern body armor is designed to repel buckshot and slugs. Law enforcement and the

military uses the 12 gauge so resupply is possible.

20 Gauge, the other common shotshell load that isnt in use by the military or police these will be

more common initially but as things go on you wont be able to resupply from the enemy but you can

acquire shells now and find an older shotgun now.

.22 Long Rifle, which has been proclaimed by the Government as a terrorist round yeah. Buy by the

500 round brick and stack it up, this will be a clandestine sniping, poaching, and all round wampum

round.

COMBAT CAPABLE CIVILIAN ARMS

Now that the calibers are settled on, now the harder task is to select the arms in each caliber that will be

best for the Militia. The criteria are commonality, reliability, accuracy, and overall combat effectiveness.

No youre not likely to be able to engage the potential number of targets you could with a magazine fed

military pattern arm, but some of these might surprise you if youre willing to adapt, improvise, and

overcome.

Youre going to be doing your gun shopping where you can, but ideally you will hit the yard sales and

flea markets until you find what what you can work with. If youre forced to acquire from a gun shop

that will mean a 4473 form, unless youre willing to perform a smash and grab and have every cop

within 10 miles swarm in on you instantly so grab an elderly Patriot and kick him some extra cash to

straw purchase for you. Cash WORKS. Dont be a dick and try to pass a check on a private sale.

In order of manufacturer, this is NOT a complete catalog of firearm types by any means. Also youll

notice I omitted handguns and thats for a very good reason; that market is even more scoured than

rifles and shotguns, and America needs you to acquire the most powerful small arms you can given the

disappearing market conditions:

ANSCHUTZ

Ulm, GermanyOrginally founded in 1856 by Julius and Lusie Anschutz, the company was called J.G. Anschutz, and

manufactured a wide variety of firearms. In 1950, in Ulm, the new company was founded: J.G. Anschutz

GmbH. These are target grade .22 long rifles, very accurate TERRORIST arms as you can penetrate a

skull past 100 yards, and if you use a long enough barrel and a subsonic or CBee load it sounds like a

airgun. These target arms have the barrel length and are common enough overall to receive mention.

BenelliI

Benelli has penetrated the U.S. market so their shotguns are going to be out in force not cheaply and

the military models are going to simply be GONE. Their hunting shotguns are the ones you might

encounter and have to purchase due to maybe all the other rifles were taken already. So you mighthave to learn to fight with the 12 or 20 gauge shotgun; fight within 100 yards, go for limb and groin

shots. Quality, expensive arms, the Benelli line has had great success in penetrating the American gun

market, which means these shotguns will be common-not cheap, as no guns going to be cheap

anymore.


5/55

Model R1 Rifle

Introduced in 2003 this rifle is chambered for the .30-06 or .300 Win. Mag cartridge. Barrels arecryogenically treated. Action is gas operated. Interchangeable barrel offered in 20" and 22" in.30-06 and 20" and 24" in .300 Win. Mag. Walnut stock. Detachable magazine has a 4-roundcapacity. Weight is about 7 to 7.2 lbs. depending on caliber and barrel length. In 2005 the.270 WSM and .300 WSM calibers were added to the R 1 rifle.

BERETTA

Another imported shotgun, this is a semi auto, and perhaps you could come up with a magextension for the hunting models

BROWNING ARMS CO.Morgan, Utah

Contrary to popular belief, the firm of Browning Arms has really manufactured only one gun inits long and colorful history. This was the Model 1878 single-shot rifle, which was actually thefirst gun that the prolific inventor John M. Browning patented. This firm was founded in 1880 asJ. M. Browning & Bro. in Ogden, Utah. John Browning is considered by many to be the greatest

firearms genius of all time. He created 80 firearms designs and held 128 individual patents. Hesold designs to Winchester, Stevens, Remington, and Colt, as well as to the Belgian firm ofFabrique Nationale (FN). He was directly responsible for designing many of the firearms withwhich we have come to be familiar, including the 1911 Colt Government Model, the 1885Winchester Single-Shot (evolved from the Model 1878 that was actually Browning-manufactured), the Models 1886, 1892, 1894, and 1895 Lever Action Rifles, as well as theModel 1897 Shotgun. He was also directly responsible for producing the Model 1935 Hi-Powerthat achieved worldwide service pistol acceptance. In the 1890s Browning had difficulty dealingwith the American arms corporations, so he went to Europe and established a lastingrelationship with the firm of Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium. This agreement lasted until1977 when FN purchased the Browning Company. In the early 1970s, the Browningcorporation contracted with the firm of B. C. Miroku in Japan and has since marketed guns

produced by them. In 1991 GIAT, a French state-owned firm, purchased FN and Browning. Oneshould be cognizant of the fact that in the opinion of many experts Miroku-produced Browningfirearms are as high in quality as any others produced; collector interest dictates greater valueson the Belgian-manufactured versions.

Browning made a lot of over and under shotguns-grasp two shells to reload at a time. If yousomehow inherit or acquire one of their many over-unders itll point well, and you can reload it

rapidly, just keep in mind you only have two shots.

AUTO-5 SHOTGUN

This series of recoil-operated, semi-automatic shotguns was designed by John M. Browning andwas offered in 12 or 16 gauge. The barrel lengths were 26", 28", 30", or 32" with various chokesand ribs. It has a unique, square-back action that has become instantly recognizable. The finishis blued with a checkered, walnut, round-knob stock. The various versions differ in the amountof ornamentation, type of rib, and quality of materials and workmanship utilized in construction.

This series was manufactured in Belgium by FN between 1903 and 1939. The first exampleappeared in the United States in 1923. Pre-WWI 16 gauge guns, introduced in 1936, had 2-9/16" chambers; early models should be inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing.

High-Power Bolt-Action RifleThis was a high-grade, bolt-action sporting rifle manufactured by FN in Belgium (from 1959 to

1975) or Sako of Finland (from 1961 to 1975). It was built on either a Mauser or a Sako actionand chambered for a number of popular calibers from the .222 Remington up to the .458Winchester Magnum. There were three basic grades that differed in the amount ofornamentation and the quality of materials and workmanship utilized. Certain calibers areconsidered to be rare and will bring a premium from collectors of this firearm.NOTE: From 1959 through 1966 FN Mauser actions with long extractors were featured. TheseMauser actions will bring a premium depending on caliber. From 1967 on, FN Supreme actionswith short extractors were used. Only.30-06 and .270 calibers continued with long extractorMauser actions.


8/55

Semi automatic rifle, that could be made into a fully combat capable arm once 20 roundmagazines are fabricated for it you will have to make an adaptor to replace the hingedfloorplate.

The BLR and BAR feature the same detaching box magazine, which Ill repeat, means 20 round

magazines can be fabricated for it imagine just the sheer fun factor of being able to unload 20 roundsof 30.06 or 300 Win Mag okay, get the thought of your tenderized shoulder and think of the shock on a

pack of BATFAGGOTS as you shoot them in the back from 300 yards, behind cover and your 200 grain

300 Win Mag rounds perforate their class III body armor.

The BLR-yes you can mount a shooting sling on it, however shooting from prone will require you to roll

out of position to manipulate the action.


9/55

I put these older arms because you might encounter them. The 1886 will likely, hopefully, be in45-70 in which case theres a chance theres ammunition. The 1895 is a awesome lever actionthat hopefully is in 30.06, in which case you have a viable mid range sharpshooting arm.

CENTURY ARMS

Century imported millions of military surplus bolt and automatic arms-many Mausers andEnfields were sporterized into hunting rifles using the same caliber or rebarreled. Keep in mindthis is Century Arms, who are concerned with simply churning product out, reliability and safety

be damned. Check over the rifle THOROUGHLY before buying!!!!

Basically these are Mausers and P14/17 Enfields that are sporterized, and in commoncartridges which make them potentially poor mans sniper rifles when you work on them.

After the catalog Ill include a section on acurizing and accessorizing your Militia arm.

CZ-USA

Czech produced sporting arms, they have a good reputation as does the Czech arms industry in general.


10/55

FRANCHI

Shotguns. Well, what can be said this company produces shotguns, and produces them well.


11/55

These are single shot rifles

and shotguns. Ive played

with single shots and you

can achieve a surprisingly

high rate of fire; keep a few

shells in hand as you

operate the break open

action unless youre in a

shooting sling, then Id find

a way to mount your

cartridges as close to the

action as possible. Likely to

be among the most

common long arms out

THIS would be good for longer range shotgunning

against low flying drones, or a long range shot

load could be made up given a supply of 10 gauge

shells. Long barrel shotguns will be needed as you

have sight radius, barrel length to boost velocity.

For portability these shotguns can be

disassembled and reassembled in bare seconds.


12/55

ITHACA

Ithaca 37s have been around for decades. They are among the slickest slide action shotguns out there-

they dont have a trigger disconnector so you can hold down on the trigger and slam fire your magazine,

fill your immediate area with buckshot or whatever-a poor mans submachine gun. The standard tube

on these ye olde shottys is mounted so you cant fit an extension tube so youll have to do somegunsmithing-saw off the mount lug on the barrel, fit a magazine tube and spring from a more modern

design but thats sheet metal tubing and spring, relatively common parts. The gun ejects its shells from

the bottom, so if things get really desperate and you need to retain your hulls you could mount a catch

bag on the bottom. Block your reloading though.


13/55

Typically in the 30-30 cartridge so unless you acquire a large supply of the ballistic polymer tipped

Leverrevolution cartridges youre shooting blunt nosed, heavy grain rounds in these weapons. The

microgroove barrel gives a edge on accuracy, and the side eject allows a rifle scope to be mounted. This

is a head or groin shot weapon, dont try a torso shot unless youre fairly certain theyre only wearing

body armor thats proof against pistols-a chest plates needed for assault rifle rounds. These rifles, you

keep the magazine tube stoked-shoot one, load one, as needed unless youre in close combat.

Next is the Papoose Model 70, a magazine fed takedown 22 semiautomatic rifle that fits inside a small

case-this is a great little rifle for infiltration and assassination, especially when fitted with a suppressor-

and an improvised suppressor is as easy as securing a plastic water bottle with some duct tape and

stuffing it with water or some light packing material. The Marlin Model 60 is mentioned because theres

millions of them out and you might have to make do with one because that might be the only rifle you

can get. On the tube fed models, take some curtain rod, plug one end and you have a speed loader.


14/55

2+1 long barrel shotgun, this is useful against low flying drones and can deliver tight patterns that can

take out legs and pelvis at 100 yards or more.

Maverick to Mossberg is like Glenfield

to Marlin-the generic brand version of

the same product, in this case the

model 500 shotgun. Fixed, 5 shot

capacity, no trigger disconnect but

they work. Period. And produced in

the millions so chances are good youll

encounter one.


15/55

The 696 is an accurate bolt action shotgun that has potential, if a load can be worked up, to turn it into a

heavy caliber sniping rifle. A 50 caliber projectile going out at 2000fps thanks to a sabot can penetrate

body armor, which ought to be a good enough reason to get one.

The 500 series comes in everything from pistol grip handguns to 30 inch barrel goose guns to the 9

shot military issue shotgun. If the barrels long, leave it as is you have much greater range than a 18 inch

model. Mossberg shotguns are in the millions and youre liable to come up on one sooner or later.

Oh, Mossberg also makes a rifle! More likely to encounter it in a gun shop than at a flea market or yard

sale though, unless the guys hurting and its still 2013 and he hasnt realized that gun confiscation is

actually coming-or the attempt to at least. Otherwise, get Granny or Grampa Patriot to sign the yellow

form for it-and get it in 30.06 and not 308 so you can find ammo for it.


16/55


17/55

NOTE: NO 30.06?! THE HELLS WRONG WITH NEF?!

Many of these old sporting

rifles are still out there,

many of them in 30.06. Fit a

modern scope, do a glassbed, attach a shooting sling

and youre ready to defend

Freedom, no problem.

There were also a lot of

these target and training

rimfire rifles produced-you

wont be using them for

training though, these will

be needed for more

surreptitious purposes. The

long target barrels aid

greatly in burning propellant

gases and thus quieting the

re ort.


18/55

The predecessor to the Model 700, theyre a common, accurate rifle that would benefit greatly with

some modern scope optics mounted. Internal mag means when you reload, dont grab one shell at a

time, grab a bunch and thumb them in from your hand, you can reload much faster.

Interesting rifles, the 760 is a pump

action rifle caliber arm and the 742

is a semi-auto that has the same

form; they point well and many are

in 30.06. The semi auto 7400 allows

you to use a shooting sling,

provided the swivels NOT mounted

on the barrel. I emphasize the

ought six because you are likely to

still find a box of the stuff. Youll

find 308 but youll have to take it off

a machine gun belt in the future

and youll have very stiff

competition for the fodder from all

the MBR users, so stick with the

more powerful round. 740 has a

bolt gouging the receiver issue.

The detaching box magazine means

20 round magazines can be

manufactured. There were once

upon a time 10 and 15 round

magazines made but good luck

finding them. Large capacity

magazines turn the 742 into a ought

six MBR in its own right, while the

760 ought to do fine with maneuver

elements.


19/55

The Model 700 is a very prolific bolt action rifle, thats well made unless you manage to use the safety

and the rifle goes off, which was a flaw the profit minded people at Remington never fixed in spite of the

original designers warnings. Its a POSSIBILITY so be extra certain the only direction your 700s pointed

at is a direction you wouldnt mind a round being lobbed offat. Other than that, parts are available and

theres a wide selection of configurations and calibers-which youre going to hopefully select from the

short list I provided of course.

Be advised-the target/varmint models are going to be heavy and only work with a scope. The mountain

rifles sacrifice shooting comfort for lightness-which means there will be RECOIL. Work up some sort of

recoil pad, tuck it in tight. Also, that light rifle means a good shooting position and use of a rest or a

shooting sling is imperative for achieving accuracy.

The militarys M40 rifle is based on the Remington action, so theres a guarantee of parts. Theres also a

guarantee your 700 will be hellaciously accurate, provided you do your job.

The 700 is Remingtons top line rifle and they

price it as such but there are entry levelhunting rifles theyve produced, such as the

710. This is a plastic stock rifle where they cut

every production corner they could to make a

utilitarian rifle and as such it will have

deficiencies in accuracy compared with a 700.

Doesnt mean good work cant be achieved

with a 710, they can. A detaching box

magazine is featured but dont expect some fast bolt

work out of this rifle unless you put some effort in

smoothing out the action yourself. I would not beselecting this rifle if there were other choices but with

the end of the 2ndAmendment beggars cant be

choosers. The 788 is an older rifle with a detaching

magazine, and a very fast lock time meaning more

inherent accuracy-the rifle was often rebuilt into target

pieces. No longer produced, you may encounter one.


20/55

The Model 7 is a smaller, more compact rifle for backpacking. Except for the military calibers you ought

to find ammunition for it.

The 770 is Remingtons new budget rifle its inexpensive its inexpensive because Remington took

all kinds of design shortcuts. If you get this rifle, just go ahead and knock out those molded in swivel

loops they will break anyway. Just do it. The actions safe but it will probably always be rough. Its a

redesign of the 710 so if you see one by the other and theres nothing else, go with the 770. Some

people like the budget rifle, others curse it because theyve had nothing but problems. It does however

beat harsh noise.

The Remington 870 is the most popular shotgun in the world, it basically works fine and you can get

even more accessories and more configurations than the Mossberg 500. Even more, you can attach an

extended magazine tube and get more rounds in the weapon.

The Model 1100 is the semi auto

shotgun and there are plenty of this shotgun around, question is will you encounter one? Parts and

accessories are also available for this shotgun as well.


21/55

This is a rotary magazine fed lever action rifle. You want one in 30.06.

The Savage 110 series of bolt action rifles are a good deal-theyre very accurate, have an adjustable

trigger and come in every configuration from lightweight mountain guns to sniper variants used by the


22/55

cops to heavy varmint and target models. Youre likely to find one but try to find one in a caliber you

can scrounge for. Some may have a detaching magazine.

RUGER

Bill Ruger was a genius firearms designer who did everything he could to step all over his own feet,

because he was angling to become a government contractor and had the mistaken view that us wage

slaves dont deserve full capacity magazines or easily available spare parts. Other than that we have him

to thank for the 10-22, the No. 1, and belatedly the Mini-14 after he finally croaked and the saner

people who took over made production 20 round magazines and fixed the gas system problem so that

carbine could actually hit.

Literally are millions of the 10/22

out, and there are about as many

accessories for this little .22 as well.

Some suppressed, short barreled

variants are used by SWAT teams

for taking out lights and pests

right but you can do the same. You

will too when those SWAT teams

are used to muscle through whole neighborhoods looking to terrorize America into handing over theirarms and then they figure the real terror will begin as they rule us with much more honesty and

squeeze the last of our wealth from us. A 10/22 fitted with a easy to make improvised suppressor and a

quality high capacity magazine working from their back to their front, aiming for the temple or back of

the skull, dropping them back to front so they dont realize whats happening until half their sticks

gone-whats not to like?


23/55

The Mini-14; Bill Rugers practical

joke on America. He designs a

light carbine in a popular caliber

and he deliberately makes it

inaccurate because its a plinker

to him-then only has 5 round

magazines for us civilians, while

producing 20 and 30 round

magazine strictly for LAW ENFORCEMENT. Bill Ruger wanted those government contracts because he

was a snobbish little shitstain. Fortunately his death allowed Ruger to gain some sanity and theyve

cleaned up later production versions of this rifle HOWEVER youre likely to encounter the original,

castrated version of this rifle simply because so many were made. And they suck for accuracy though

there are gas system kits you can retrofit to this rifle to fix that problem. Aftermarket magazines will

vary in quality-good luck.

The No. 1 is a very accurate single

shot rifle and I include it because theres a chance you MAY encounter one for sale and it may be in a

relatively available caliber.

The 77 is Rugers bolt action rifle, and like their competing rifles come in a wide variety of configurations

and calibers. This was the rifle Billy Ruger deemed appropriate for us Elmer Fudds, right?


24/55

THOMPSON/CENTER

Picture being able to take a rifle shot

with a pistol that you can hide in

your coat or duffel bag: thats the

Encore pistol and its predecessor the

Contender. Single shot break open

you can swap out several calibers.

Practice is required to be able to hit

accurately with any pistol and

especially with a pistol that shoots

30.06. Also, due to the shorter

barrels you will lose velocity and

gain muzzle flash but flash hiders

and suppressors can mitigate those

issues.

A word on ejected cartridges

There will be plenty of guns, probably always, but ammunition will become increasingly tighter, and

reloading spent cartridges will become imperative. Which means a rifle that allows you to retain or

easily recover a spent case will have value. Your semi-automatic rifles automatically eject their empty

cases and thus will when possible be reserved for battle. Any manually operated weapon allows you to

save your brass by not operating it brusquely through its entire movement; you slowly open your action

back until the ejector just pops the spent case off the bolt and in your hand or by you on the ground and

you can pocket it for reloading.


25/55

Weatherby is a rich mans gun

and always has been. They

also make these rifles in

standard calibers but

Weatherby has a thing about

making their own calibers for

their own rifles, which means

that if you get one passed

down to you or come upon

one be sure its in a common

chambering. These are all

fine rifles and perhaps

someone can make some

money offering rebarreling

services


26/55

MODEL 1894

Century plus old design, made in the millions, many of them in 30-30 but expect quite a few in other

calibers. Until they came out with the angle eject scopes had to be mounted off to the side but itspossible to retrofit the older arms to angle eject. Again like the Marlin 336, an investment in the

polymer tipped Leverrevolution ammo can increase this rifles range by half again out to 3-400 yards,

keep the rifles magazine tube fully stoked as you shoot, and aim for the groin unless youre sure to

make a head shot, the 30.30 probably doesnt have the penetration needed to go through Class IIIa

armor.

The venerable Model 70 is

arguably Americas greatest bolt

action rifle; Carlos Hathcock laid

waste to many a North

Vietnamese column with one in

30.06 with a Redfield scope

when he wasnt using a M-14.

There was a redesign in 1964 to

facilitate ease of production

which proved unpopular with

many fans of this rifle which

apart from age makes pre-64s

cherished. It was recently

redesigned to incorporate more

pre-64 features so the modern

versions will also be highly

coveted and treasured, so it will

be the post-64 Model 70s you

will find for sale likely. Even

these will provide many years of

faithful


27/55

Older 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, the main desirable features of the Model 12 are the takedown feature

and that it has no trigger disconnector-you can hold the trigger back and fan the pump action for

sending dozens of pellets down range.

A very common shotgun, the action immediately unlocks after firing so youre automatically yanking the

slide back to load a fresh shell in, there are millions of these shotguns, accessories abound to increase

their tactical utility, and its simpler, lighter and has more repair parts around than the 12 or 1200.

The Model 1400 is Winchesters semi-automatic shotgun; interesting thing the short 2 inch Aguila

shotshells can operate in Winchester shotguns, including the 1400 increasing the number of shot you

can send downrange. Parts and accessories are available.

As common as these commercial arms are, they typically do not have the edge on ruggedness a good

military surplus rifle does. This monograph hasnt bothered with the availability of modern combat


28/55

semi-automatic rifles as theyre being emptied out of the stores and warehouses, so you, needing a rifle,

have to scour the second hand markets at gun shows, flea markets, and yard sales.

BRITISH ENFIELD RIFLES

Imported by the millions, these are rugged ten shot bolt action rifles with the quickest bolt throw of any

rifle, the problem being .303 ammunition is in very short supply, most of the arsenals having been

emptied of their surplus by the turn of the millenium. Its possible to rechamber for the Russian

7.62mm rimmed cartridge with a reamer as the bore diameter is correct, but expect a huge increase in

felt recoil. Theres a version built by India in 308 at least its possible to resupply off a machine gun

belt, in theory. Quickest bolt action, highly trained British marksmen, a product of the lessons Boer

riflemen inflicted on the British Army over a decade earlier, engaged and massacred a numerically

superior number of Germans who attributed their loss to machine gun fire. If you can find ammunition

and mind the rims as you load it the rifle will serve you very well.

P-17 ENFIELDBritish design that was adopted by the U.S. during World War One as a substitute standard,

rechambered for 30.06 to augment M1903 Springfield production, many if not most have been

sporterized in varying ways, even rebarreled for magnum calibers, 6 shot magazine. This is a very

accurate rifle-a quick story, a hitman used one he picked up for a hundred bucks to kill someone at 800

yards. A scope mount is available that replaces the rear sight leaf and baseplate and you can mount a

scope.

MAUSER M98

Brought back by GIs as war trophies or otherwise dumped by the millions by Interarms it will be in 8mm

Mauser if it hasnt been rebarreled to 30.06 or .308, sporterized and serve as hunting rifles. 8mm

Mauser is still available as I write this in surplus so if you have a Mauser or pick one up for a couple

hundred dollars BUY ALL THE 8MM BALL YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON. U.S. made 8mm is weaker due


29/55

to some liability issue or some other silliness but the Mauser is beyond combat proven, is accurate, and

the action is as strong and smooth as the legends surrounding the rifle attribute to it. Get 5 round

stripper clips if youre not going to scope the rifle or if it dont already have a scope mount. South

American Mausers will be in 7mm, 7.65 Argentine or 30.06 as will Mexican Mausers. Otherwise, 8mm

Mauser will penetrate body armor just fine.

MOSIN-NAGANT

7.62X54R Caliber these have become the 100 dollar 30.06 up to now. With the importation in process

of being cut off, the price on these budget battle rifles will only go up. More important is to buy all the

ball ammunition for these rifles you can as theyre Berdan primed and it will take time before reloading

those type of cartridges will be possible. Buy stripper clips, learn to use them rapidly and with firmness,

the Mosin isnt as smooth as the Mauser-in fact some examples have a sticky bolt that requires cleaning

the gunk and cosmoline off before they can function smoothly. 7.62x54R will go through any body

armor up to Class IV, the rifle can be quite accurate and ammo is out there so its a natural rifle to

gravitate to if you cannot acquire a modern combat semi-automatic rifle; in fact you should be buying

these rifles and all the crates of ammo for it that you can before considering resorting to about any

other Militia arm mentioned in this monograph.

M1903 SPRINGFIELD

Bolt action rifle built by the millions in two world wars that has become a collectors item. The A1 has a

fragile ladder rear sight in front of the action, while the A3 has a much more sensible ramp rear sight on

the receiver bridge near your eye. Many have been sporterized, and are thus hunting rifles, usually with

a scope. In 30.06 unless rebarreled, but youll be lucky if right now you can buy one for 500 dollars. A

barreled receiver is around that you can build up into an original configuration, a sniper variant or put a

scope on for a sporter but thats an investment. So will be 30.06 but fortunately thats currently

available in bulk and already on our shores to feed the M1 Garand rifles.

M-1 GARAND

Built by the millions this rifle is out there in force and the last inrush of surplus brought a fresh supply of

ammunition. Commercial 30.06 loadings can be shot, but will degrade the life of the op rod. If you find

one unless it looks like it was freshly dug out of some Pacific beach youre looking at a thousand easy.

The rifle is worth it as its accurate, its in 30.06 and reloadings as simple as loading a fresh en bloc clip

down into the rifle and letting the bolt fly forward BUT NOT BEFORE YOU CLEAR YOUR THUMB BEFORE

RELEASING OR YOURE GOING TO HAVE A CRUSHED THUMB AND LIKELY WILL HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY

RELOADING IT AGAIN FOR AWHILE.

If you happen, by some miracle now, to find one of the rifles below

Id get one. The likelihood of being able to pick one of these up however diminishes by the day-damn

hard now, but wait until January of 2013 and prices double, triple wait until February 2013, and then

the only way of acquiring one is off someone elses dead hands? You get one your next immediate

mission will be to scrounge whatever 7.62x51, 5.56, 7.62x39, 5.45 ammunition you can get your hands

on. Magazines as well; M-14 and FAL mags start at 20 dollars each, AK mags are at 15, AR magazines areall over the place in price but the HK-91 magazines are still cheap-they wont be! Certainly not after

they ramrod their legislation through and then your evil detaching feeding devices will become precious.

Practice magazine retention and have a dump pouch for your empties. Get the essential spare parts;

firing pins, springs, extractor, ejector, trigger group, hopefully a parts kit. Whatever rifle you get Id go

ahead and get one of the above bolt action rifles in the same caliber. Why? You can recover your

empty cases, and these rifles are going to be reserved for battle.

Optimizing your civilian origin Militia arm

Your arm is going to need some kind of optimizing for the modern battlefield as you will be confronted

with issues ranging from accuracy to combat effectiveness to unfortunately, reliability.

Accuracy of a rifle is dependent upon the synergy of barrel to bolt interface, condition of the bore and

muzzle crown, the fit of the barreled action to the stock, sights, support and shooting aids, and

ultimately your skill in being a stable shooting platform. You will need to acquire the materials and tools

to do a glass bedding job if your rifle barrel isnt free floating, install a shooting sling-unless you have a

slide action weapon, be able to install a scope and its base, and attach a shooting sling or bipod.


32/55

You will also need not only shooting instruction but an airsoft replica or functional analog of your Militia

arm in order to hone your shooting skills. Until you can capture enemy weapons or get to a strong

enough economic and military position to build your own you are absolutely dependent on the ambush,

range, and accuracy because you will likely have little to no resource and certainly deficient in firepower.

Combat effectiveness is your accuracy combined with the speed of your reloading-how many rounds are

available on tap or can be loaded into your rifle. Here is where you are going to have to do a bit of

improvisation and inventiveness but basically your detaching magazine fed rifles are three pieces of

sheet metal and spring wire. For a couple older rifles Coyler clips were around that offered 10 and 15

shots but dont count on finding them. You might find a BAR magazine and adapt it to your 30.06 rifle

those are going to disappear as well, so you will have to build your own. 24hrAK47 has the conceptual

instruction on home building a magazine from scratch, so you take at heart the instructions in that book,

then look at your 4 shot detaching magazine; concentrate on the shape of the magazine lips, the

follower, and from there build a much longer magazine. Wrap your piano wire around a mandrel

roughly shaped to the size of the width of your original magazine, cut, bend or weld on the appropriate

tab, then test fire your created magazine. If successful you might turn your BLR, BAR, or Remington 742-

760 into a fearsome 20 round 30.06. Or bolt action.

From 24hrAK-47, just adapt the concept to the dimensions of your magazine:

Tube magazines: find a tube that your cartridges fit into, make a rammer with handle, and you have a

speedloader. Tube fed 22s like the Marlin 60 you just put two caps on, pop one cap, remove the tube

mag follower, and pour the rounds down the spout.

Your single shot rifles the answer is simple: have a belt of looped cartridges by your weapons action

whether attached to the side of your rifle or on you support hand-greatly reduces the time to reload by

reducing the travel time of your hand to grab a fresh cartridge.


53/55

Internal mag fed rifles you are going to have to have 3, 4, or 5 round ammo cells somehow; empty your

rifle, you grab into a pocket and you have a full reloads worth in your hand.

The type of sights you have will also affect your combat effectiveness, you may want to invest in

modernizing and upgrading your sighting options.

Reliability is dependent on your arms basic design, lubrication and maintenance, wear of parts and the

availability of replacement parts. The above weapons were selected for both commonality and

ammunition availability which helps to mitigate the issue of finding parts, but being able to fashion small

replacement parts will be essential so learning how to gunsmith will be as vital a skill as marksmanship.

Hit up your gunsmiths for your weapons spare firing pin, extractor, ejector, springs, along with spare

sights, scope and scope mounts. A set of basic gunsmithing tools, dremel, spare cleaning kits, and

solvents and lubricants-these you can find substitutes for in recycled motor oil and synthetic grease for

lubricant, and youre basically cleaning carbon, copper and lead out of your bore.

FIGHTING CHARACTERISITCS AND TACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Any .22 rifle will be useful for quiet dispatch, especially in an already noisy or cluttered environment that

masks gun reports. Using subsonic ammunition will further reduce noise signature. Magazine fed .22

rifles can have more and larger magazines built from the pattern of the original magazine, tube fed rifles

can have a speed feed improvised from a curtain rod and stoppers.

Shotguns have a relatively low round count, slugs are limited to about 200 yards maximum in most cases

though the need for anything that can shoot will push ammunition technology to extend the range of

the 12 gauge slug load. Birdshot in a full choked long barrel such as the Marlin Goose Gun have anti-

drone and anti-personnel applications so long as you aim away from the torso. Those shotguns with

shorter barrels will have to be devoted to close in engagement though some of the older pump action

shotguns without trigger disconnectors can be fanned and with shot loads be considered a poor mans

submachine gun.

Commercial bolt action, slide action and semiautomatic rifles suffer from lack of magazine capacity.

Some models have the benefit of detaching magazines so its possible to manufacture extended

magazines as thats stamped steel and wire. Otherwise, those rifles with internal magazines you will

have to master rapidly reloading it by grabbing several cartridges at once and thumbing them in from

your hand to speed reloading. Means not letting the enemy get in close and outgun you with superior

rates of fire, you have to outgun THEM with superior accuracy. Manufacturing extended magazines for

those models that take a detaching magazine will even things up quite nicely and should be a priority.

Older rifles will have primitive crosshair or duplex scopes with iron backup sights and reduced

accuracy/range expectations that will have to be overcome, though rifles meant for shooting in the


54/55

West will not have nearly as much in deficiency in that respect. Adding a shooting sling and/or a bipod

will greatly improve accuracy as will a glass bedding job if it doesnt have one.

Nearly all of these rifles in a decent, common caliber-especially 30.06-have a chance to penetrate body

armor, obstacles such as trees, auto body steel. The 30.06 was considered too long ranged and too

powerful by the generals who at the same time turn around and deny their recruits the needed

marksmanship training to wring the maximum potential out of their main battle rifles, so when the

assault rifle and its reduced power cartridges came along, they reasoned they could substitute rate of

fire for accuracy and penetration. Found out later accuracy still mattered but now they were stuck with

rounds of reduced range, reduced power, reduced penetration for being able to carry more rounds to

miss with. Just thinking about this is motivating me to get something in 30.06

Tube fed lever action rifles are better suited for closer in combat against relatively few opponents or

helping to fill out a larger force. Lever action rifle users will have to be disciplined in reloading their tube

magazines-load as you shoot unless youre in close combat. Lever action rifles could take a shooting

sling but slide action rifles cannot because your support arms operating the action.

The Encore pistol and the Papoose takedown 22 rifle have clandestine urban applications that should be

obvious.

When you shop for a Liberty arm-one you pay cash for-keep in mind youre likely to get gouged in price.

Accept it. What youre buying is a Militia arm thats untracked by the enemy, who has been keeping all

records of purchases since the Brady act in 1994. Yes they lied to you. Be ready to spend at least as

much on ammunition as you will on the rifle. Dont forget spare firing pins, springs, extractors.

TACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Keep in mind that as Militia youre going in with arms whose only two factors of giving you superiority

are the cartridge and your accuracy in making the few shots you will likely take more time applying

count. Bear that in mind when judging which enemy force or individual to engage. Also, you will want

to apply some guerrilla economics: will the loot and supplies I gain from shooting this oath traitor

outweigh the cost and risk factors of setting off a precious cartridge?

You can get away with a smaller fire team if youre armed with modern detaching magazine semi-

automatic rifles, or extended mag fed civilian analogs. Having to field with sporting arms will require

more interaction with your elements, and a bigger fire team to begin with. Numbers will likely not be on

your side so you will have to analyze thoroughly your enemy, their capabilities and weaknesses, the

terrain, what you have to bear.

A good mix will be to have at least one shotgunner to provide close in security and anti-drone support.

Your riflemen-with longer ranged arms-engage in far ambushes when possible. Your lever and slide

action, and semi-auto shooters with less combat accurate arms will be with shotgun shooters and will be


55/55

the maneuver element. Basically, your long range riflepeople engage at long range while your close in

shooters swing around or strike from close in hides in a flanking move designed to make the enemy fight

in more than one direction and therefore lose the ability to concentrate their superior firepower.

Colonial Miliitamen had to field with what they had. The rifle was slower loading but much longer

ranged and those that had those rifles were very accurate, they needed quicker firing close in support to

screen or attack at a closer range and differing angle. What saved Colonial America from defeat was the

ability to produce arms and ammunition and having allies among about every other European power

who wanted the British Empire to take the fall it did when they lost America. Now those powers along

with China want America to take the fall so we have to harness what knowhow and industrial capability

we have or can build up. For that we will need territory which means enough battlefield victories to

seize and keep territory. That means winning, and staying victorious and advertising the results where

others will come out to fight. One inherent advantage of using civil origin arms is that it shows potential

fighters they too could win with their hunting rifles.

The Boers of South Africa were able to get modern arms and use them very effectively however the

lesson to be learned was they could not replace their ammunition, break the blockade, nor stop the

construction of vast numbers of machine gun equipped blockhouses that neutralized their

marksmanship and mobility advantages. Their families were rounded up, placed into concentration

camps and those hostages finally brought the Boer to the negotiating table.

What will make you victorious regrettably soon will be how much marksmanship training you

perform, and how much ammunition you can stock up. Get an airsoft rifle NOW and practice shooting

at smaller and smaller targets. Download freds guide to becoming a rifleman or How to shoot a rifle

Believe in our cause, Our America and that we can bring our nation back from the brink of its

destruction even in this late hour if enough of us are willing to stand and fight for our Freedom and our

homes. And for each other; hear gunfire from nearby, you rush to that sound! Fire from cover, from

the ambush, make every shot count and you might score that AR you missed out on and had to resort to

buying that vintage Winchester 70 or sporterized Mauser in 30.06 that thankfully the shelves still had.

Everyone must arise; our strategy is to turn America into a 3 million square mile field of fire ants. A field

of fire ants is notorious for stripping cattle down to the bone in bare hours, and we can do the same to
