Meant to do this yesterday because it’s really a Tuesday type thread, but let’s hear what everybody plans to or would like to purchase in the way of firearms.

Because I‘m a dream crusher, there are rules.

1. It has to actually exist and be somewhat obtainable if you or your significant other were to go track one down.
“A pre ‘64 Winchester Model 70” or “A Luger that was carried by someone during WWII” qualifies.
“Serial #00001 Remington 700” or “A takedown Ruger 10/22 in .17 Remington Fireball” does not.

2. It has to be legal in general, not necessarily where you currently live.
“A non legal handgun in CA” or “An SBR in New Jersey” are fine.
“A full auto belt fed .50 BMG” or “A bazooka” is not.

3. Things that you will likely never be able to afford in the foreseeable future are out.
So no “$50k Holland and Holland shotguns” for the majority of us.
“I’m going to buy myself a $3,000 National Match M1A when I retire” is fine.

4. Let’s limit it to 5, just because. They don’t have to be in any particular order :flipoff2:

5. Roughly estimate what your list would cost.

Here’s mine:

1. Weatherby Vanguard 6.5, walnut stock, barrel chopped to 16-18” for a stalking rifle.
2. Sig 1911 10mm, preferably the discontinued Emperor Scorpion version, to carry in the woods.
3. Weatherby Vanguard .375 H&H, I think the round is cool and might shoot a Nilgai some day.
4. Beretta 686 28 gauge over/under, I’ve wanted a “really nice” shotgun for awhile.
5. Dead Air Nomad Ti (suppressors are firearms), for my hunting guns.

Around $6k all in.
 
Not sure why a .50 BMG is disallowed within your parameters??? It's completely legal most everywhere and most heavies are less expensive than a M16.

Anyway, with that said:

2. A Springfield M1906.
2. K98k Mauser (pre-war).
3. A "Property of US Govt" roll marked 1911.
4. Browning P35 Hi-Power.
5. Beretta 92.

Prolly ~$10K conservatively.

If I were allowed to wish:

A Maxim/Vickers water cooled MG from WWI. This would be part of my living room presentation, much like a lamp or sofa or big screen TV.

I already own a M1A NM and a pre-64 Winchester.

I say, I say, I say again boy. have you ordered it yet? I thought in a previous thread (or the previous board!?) you had ordered one? or was that someone else?
 
Colt 1911 gold cup so I can recreate the gun in the movie Cobra.

Turns out the gun is the easy part and finding someone to make the custom grips like the one in the film is the hard part.

I was able to get my hands on a 590. I have only seen a 590a1 Retro in person once since the scamdemic started. I’ll get one eventually :smokin:
 
Really like my 590a1 retro, need to shoot it more and get a Bayonet for it.

1. Sig pe90 (probably not going to happen as they aren't worth what people are paying for them)
2. Original FAL.
3. My grandfather's Springfield just need to talk my uncle out of it.
4. A nice garand.
5. FN FNC (also not worth what people are paying for them)

In reality I will probably just finish my WWSD carbine and build an ar pistol in 300 BO. In the short term anyway.
 
I swear we had a similar thread a year or so back.

I remember making a long list of guns I want.

Still a long list, but I hardly shoot anymore, and haven't hunted since '18.

I've been fortunate enough to add some of my "Grail Guns" to my collection in recent years. There's still a lot I'd like, but just a few, in some particular order:

All non-molested/sporterized
  • Springfield Trapdoor
  • Krag Jorgenson
  • 1903
  • Lee Enfield
  • M1 Carbine
  • M1A
  • Early Colt and/or Rem Rand 1911
  • Webley
  • Mauser C96
  • Browning BDA
  • Browning Hi Power
  • Walther PP
  • Walther P38
  • A nice 20 or 28 Ga 28" O/U Browning, Franchi, or Winchester
  • One of every caliber Remington Model 8/81 Woodsmaster
  • Every caliber and variant of any pre '08 Marlin (I need a wall of lever guns like on Bonanza)
  • Savage 110 and/or Ruger 77 in 7.62x39
  • Styer AUG
  • Galil
  • Jericho

I could go on.
 
1. Tikka T3X CTR 6.5 Creedmoor on a KRG X-Ray chassis ( My next planned project )
2. H&K VP9
3. Old-school Colt Python
4. Some kind of lever action rifle - haven't decided on a specific model/caliber yet.
5. 10mm 1911
Around $6-7K.

And just 'cause it's so fugly a CZ Parrot

CZ7591175_1.jpg
 
sig sauer cross 6.5 Creedmoor
blaser r8 ( interchangeable barrels) 6.5 pcr and .243
some type of 30-30 lever
semi auto 12 gauge
.45 lever gun to match my sauer 1911 for ease of ammo.

i know a few are none descript but it will all be in the semi affordable range. i buy once and cry once rather than buy entery level stuff.

latest purchase was a .243 tikka. just waiting on it arriving so i can update my thread.

20k +/-
 
Beretta 686 20 gauge

Ruger 77/44 stainless with threaded barrel (7417)
 
HK MK23
MP5A2

About the only I can think of that I want but even as a FFL, I can’t have in this state.
 
I'm pretty lucky, I have three infinity pistols. and they are by far my favorites. I would like a single stack 9mm from them. I have a factory colt m16 that is mint. and a shit ton of other guns that are fun to play with. but I would like a mp5, most enjoyable shooting sub machine gun I have ever played with. if I get another windfall I will have one.
