Just paint "stupid" on the stock, and be done with it.
+1!
If given a choice, I'd take a FAL for a main battle weapon (liberty teeth) over an AR15, but even a Ruger 10/22 in .22LR would give me serious pause if all I had to go against someone armed with the .22LR, was a levergun - regardless of caliber/cartridge in said levergun!
The Marlin will hold? Seven? Or Eight?
The M10/22 should be equipped with a magazine capable of holding 25 or 30 or even 50 rounds!!
Why not scrap the levergun in favor an SKS with 10rd stripper-clips?
I won't be foolish enough to insist a 7.62X39 is "as powerful" as a .30-30. IT IS NOT! But the rooskie-round with its 122-125 bullets will still shoot as far as most lever-30-30's.
