I am trying to see if I can find a rifle or brace that can fit in a 30 calibur ammo can. Part of a long term storage type deal.

M19A1 (.30 CAL) AMMO CAN DIMENSIONS
Exterior: 11.75″ x 3.75″ x 7″Interior: 10″ x 3.5″ x 6.5″
A rifle is subject to the NFA only if the rifle has a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length
A NFA legal rifle? Not a chance in a 30 Mike Mike can, an SBR, sure.

Saved, to glorify God.
Well if you want a Henry .22 survival rifle it breaks down
pretty compact, it is a shame they didnt make it in any other calibur! I got one.

The charger is too long. Not finding anything good on the ar front that does not cost an arm and a leg. I am looking at cheap here... Mainly if it fails I won't faint from replacement costs...

It is going inside a 50 cal can. This is for vibration and environment proofing. SBR or pistol brace seem to be the main options.

I store my airsoft pulse rifle in one of those. But that will not fit where I want to store things.

I have message them to verify on the fit. Their setup would be preferable as well I prefer Glocks. Or more specifically one of the most common military arms in the world...

Glock model 20 pistol (10mm caliber) with a 3-4moa carry pistol red dot sight (holosun, etc.) for precise aiming at a distance. A replacement 6" barrel would boost the 10mm velocity and reduce recoil. This with a carry holster, mag carriers, extra loaded mags, and possibly a compact rail-mounted light should fit into a 30 cal ammo can.

Or a LEO trade in G21 for a budget option
LE Trade-In Glock 21 Gen4, .45 ACP, 3 Mags, Grade 2
DetailsAll handguns are required to ship via 2nd day. Please be sure to choose the correct shipping. If you select anything other than 2nd day your order will be cancelled. LE Trade-In Glock 21 Gen4, .45 ACP, 3 Mags, Grade 2 Remarkable for its accuracy and light recoil, the GLOCK 21 Gen4...

and a g21 with a 6 inch barrel could have similar performance just not as much fps as the g20 though. Much more common and cheaper. The G20 is an everything pistol to be sure.Or a LEO trade in G21 for a budget option

If you are concerned with distance (100+ yards) using a compact firearm, this is a good ballistics calculator that will give bullet drop, drift, and energy calculations to compare. It has preloaded data for many common rifle and pistol bullets. You choose a reasonable velocity and how you would like the output data formatted.

Add a red dot optic to help improve accuracy over distance.
or install an RMR sight on the slide.
Throw in an extended barrel will give you greater accuracy at longer distances.

Need one like that for a .......
When I say disassemble, I mean disassemble, not just desperate the two halves. You could leave the lower parts kits installed, leave the flash suppresor on and could reassemble with just a large pair of plyers to tighten the barren nut and castle nut and maybe an Allen wrench for the handguard.
That is a good idea.

Get a G21 and buy an aftermarket 10mm barrel. Throw in a few G20 mags and you now have a pistol that can fire three different cartridges: .45 acp, 10mm and .40 S&W. When firing the .40 S&W the case will headspace on the extractor, but this seems to cause no problems. I own a rig as described above and while it's mostly a safe queen, it is kinda' cool to have one pistol that'll fire three different rounds.
One might consider that if we ever get into a scrounging/trading scenario post-SHTF, both .45 acp and .40 S&W are very popular rounds which should be reasonably easy to find. 10mm? Not so much so, but two out of three ain't bad.

There's always the one-shot that's not really attached to the pistol unless you're holding it together in your hand.

This is a very good suggestion. It will break down, into 2 parts and tons of different barrels are available including the .22.
the only drawback is, it's a single shot.
day late
money? whats that?
If you ask me, I have to ask you. What is the intended purpose of the weapon? THAT defines what you need. Is it for hunting, combat, self-defense, survival, plinking on the weekend? If you have the money, you can get a weapon for each of these and more. Hiding them from government searches will be problematic at best. Focus on what you need, then figure out the best place and how to keep it hidden, yet close at hand in case of immediate need.

Oh and PSA just came out with these guys this week:
Might be worth checking availability throughout the day but I think they are flying off the shelves right now.

If you are going to bury........past experience that went well (dug up and checked) is to get extra heavy garbage/Yard trash bags and gorilla tape. Wrap-tape - wrap - tape and repeat.
Walmart coolers work well also...less temperature transfer.
Also, if it is going to be down there for a good long while.....get small gravel and put a small amount on bottom...and most on the sides. Easier to retrieve from the ground after all those years of ground settling.

Tis true…..

Could easily break down into an upper and lower and fit inside a .30 cal ammo can.
I have one.
Pack some sunglasses and extra earplugs with that.
