Too much going on there. My group of compatriots has a standardized load out for SHTF. We can swap mags, ammo, parts if necessary. YMMV
Same in our neighborhood / sub-d. Between the 25 of us we got all bases covered. We’re lucky that many of us are former MIL, nurses and even a former Army Trauma Surgeon. It’s very interesting how serious everyone is taking the current situation, there is a real concern that things may de-volve quickly after the election.

You are correct about further distances.The 11.5” is for HD/SD. I’m primarily concerned with someone very close that is ready to kill me. If the threat is farther away and I just put a hole in them, so be it. At least it is a hit and hopefully deters them. I would prefer a better bullet choice but it’s too hard to find premium ammo right now, so until MK262 comes in stock more, I trust M193 to work.

If things get insane then I would think a close in rifle would be best, but a bolt action may be highly useful before things get to your driveway.
BTW just a casual observation at the gun range: Before the pandemic I would say the fat old white guy demographic was somewhere around the 90% level whenever I went. The last couple of times I have gone lately I'd say FOWG was somewhere around 20% of the customers.
It seems like a lot of people in very different communities are preparing for the worst.
Shoulda gone with an SB3... now you just need to upgrade it. Get rid of all the A2 parts. Get rid of the quad rail. Get some pmags. Get rid of the HK style rear sight. Put it in safe. Buy a new trigger, and they you're almost done.

Stop Negassing me!!!!!
VZ58.
I am very happy with this build, I like my A2 parts, I like my rails, I like my KAC rear sight, I like my sionics trigger, I like my Colt fbi hrt barrel, I like my colt bcg, I like my VLTOR A5 receiver extension, I like my SB4 brace much more than my SB3s, I like my KAC receiver set and I like how it shoots. But if I want to shoot what you recommend, I’ll just get this one

An AR was good enough for the Kenosha Kid 
We all have our likes and dislikes. I say build what you want and enjoy....

Frankly, 1895 Guide Gun. Not much goes on down here in good ole North Carolina. In terms of primary? Sure the capacity sucks, but I can drop 300gr moving at 2,054 FPS on targets with steadfast reliability. Intimately familiar with the rifle. That’s talking about defense.
If you’re going to troop up with another crew of people...AR anything in 5.56 for everyone. As stated, mag sharing, parts sharing, etc. No brainer
In the house is shotgun alley. Always have an assortment of pistols in 9mm in the house or on my person as well.
Future will ultimately decide for us as a victor emerges...

you knuckleheads aren't shooting anyone. you all think its some kind of video game,with fires in the sky,homes on fire and tanks with gunners driving down the street. grow up. what will happen is your overlords will come knocking and you'll surrender your firearms.
That’s for being such a good sport and playing along
