Odd calibers. They should just go with a Contender, with the shoulder stock and a few barrels.

More my style ... maybe a Rossi single-shot barrel-swapping setup would take up similar space and offer more than .22lr for ammo options? I imagine that a 20g/.22mag/7.62x51 or 39 would make a decent all-purpose gun for anything but wading onto a gunfight on purpose.
But my
Henry Survival (not Armalite, not Charter Arms) runs nicely and even eats the cheap fed550 bulk, although I'd never trust it with less than CCI minimags for serious use. I like it enough that I ordered 4 magazines (6 total, two full internal storage loadouts) and am stocking back up on minimags.
The Soviet survival gun looks like all utility, anyone think it is fun to shoot after a dozen rounds?

That is one awesome pistola the Rooskies have.
I also have a Henry AR-7 (with 20 spare mags) and don't really think much of it. Will probably sell it or trade it away in the near future.
My choice for a 'survival' weapon is the Ruger MK-II 10 incher with red dot. FAR more entertaining than the AR-7.
