Have you read anything at all on this site, or tried using either of the two search tools?

The most important thing you will need in SHTF is an ability to fend for yourself and not have to rely on others. Before you worry about a rifle, I would work hard on honing that ability. So far you're not doing too well.

There is a very helpful comparison table on this site. This link may help answer your question. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=6642.

It compares the different brands and lists the desirable features. There is wealth of information on this site, IMO, the chart is one of the best places to start researching.

have fun,

Because you know me so well and the internet gives you a great indication of a beings self reliance. I asked a question about a rifle, don't post anything if it has nothing to do with the topic.

Any top tier AR would be good to have.

The rest is all preference, taste and budget.

You are right. I only have one thing from which to base my opinion of your abilities. You are therefore batting zero.

Read the forum, use the search(es), check your special snowflake at the door.

ETA:
nope, 22 things on which to base that opinion. Still batting 0.

There have been dozens of threads on this topic already, which is why people suggest using the search button. Colt, BCM, DD, and Noveske come to mind for durable reliable guns. There are also others like KAC, LMT, Larue etc that are great as well. Using the search will find you a ton of good threads to read

Since you don't seem to want to bother even looking at threads that have already been posted or trying that handy search button, I'd recommend you get a Red Jacket piston drive AR with a Slidefire stock and a bunch of mag couplers. Oh, and to keep with the Red Jacket theme Eotech just came out with a Red Jacket edition holo sight.

That set up should do you well.

Sweet setup there. All the internet kids would be drooling if someone were to post that up on the HALO forum threads.

And I'm sure he can find a nice faux Surefire M951 light for it off of FleaBay for like ~$50.

Now that would be a game changer!
