Quick questions

[u/Canadian-Footy-Fan]

A couple of random questions:

- if you buy a used gun that you can’t physically inspect how likely is it that the barrel has been “shot out” and is less accurate? Does the calibre affect this (is it more likely to happen with a .308 than a .223 because of the higher pressure - or does the added cost of .308 ammo mean it is less likely that a high shot count was run through the gun)?

- In terms of sheer numbers, what do you think are the most common types of centrefire ammo in circulation within Canada. I am thinking .223, then 7.62x39, then maybe.308…? Ultimately I’d like to get a reliable bolt in each of the most common calibres.

I didn’t mention Rimfire because a reliable 22LR is a given - and I own a couple. I am good on that one.

And you seem to be the one importing this idea of someone trudging across the wasteland carrying 3 rifles. Pretty much every scenario involves me “bugging in” so I don’t plant to wander the dystopian landscape.

Good stuff. My top priority is a quality 223 bolt - ideally in stainless. I even grabbed a couple boxes of cheap ammo in anticipation of it. Just need to raise the funds for the rifle…
