Letter Re: Advice on .308 Enfields Versus AKs for Barter/Charity

Sir:

What are your thoughts on getting 10 of the Enfield 2A.308 carbines [1] for barter/defense or would you go with the AK? Thanks, – F.

JWR Replies: The .308 Enfield is a fine choice. They are ideal to hand out to neighbors (one way or the other–be it via barter or charity) after TSHTF [2]. The beauty of a bolt action is that folks are more likely to aim carefully rather than just “spray and pray.” OBTW, be sure to get one spare magazine of each of those Enfields [3], while they are still available.
