I purchased this kit and added a few more items- wax fire starters, diamond hone, fish hooks and line, also some first aid items and iodine tablets. Oh and a box of shells. Andy was thourghly helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I did grind my teeth down waiting for delivery -not Andy’s fault but Mother Nature decided to drop tons of snow and ice bringing airports and commerce to a halt. I may go back and get the takedown 45-70 if I decide to go back to Alaska to visit my sister
All the nitpicking here is ridiculous. Each person will have a differing view of the contents of a “survival kit”, so you can’t please everyone, or even anyone. BUT… the items included here will be in everyone’s kit. It’s obviously designed to be a starter kit with a premium takedown rifle, and the small contents of the kit added to for personal preference. Anyone that buys a “survival kit” without giving some thought to the contents is a boob and shouldn’t leave his house. I think this is a very practical and well-thought out package.

Do you now offer a bolt peep for the 1886 rifle? If so, hopefully it includes instructions on the installation.
Could you make one of these out of a Marlin 357 that I already own?
Already have the Taylor/Chiappa Alaskan 92 rifle in 44 mag but I love that carry bag.
How can I get one?
Although it appears to be a very nice unit, I’m not one of those guys with the “Deep Pockets” who could afford this. $1800 is a little to much for me to afford.
How do I order? Please advise.
This seems likes fine weapon I like the 44 magnum. Personally this would be a backup system. Don’t laugh my primary weapon is a m1 rifle in great condition and plenty of spare part’s there are plenty of high powered rifle’s that are easy to take down. The m1 stock separates from the receiver with out tools also another lever gun and 2 good shotguns one with different barrel’s and plenty of ammo for all. The reviews criticizing the gun or case should have these item’s anyway. If its a SHTF scenario and you have to get out you’re heaviest… Read more »
Is this carbine available in 22 caliber?
How do I order?
