what is your dream gun?

[Highwall]

Mine is a Winchester 1885 in 32/40  with a double trigger.

[Trailrider #896]

One I could still shoot! 

[Rye Miles #13621]

If I could afford it and the ammo I always wanted a full auto Thompson or a BAR.

[Widder, SASS #59054]

1.  Ruger Super Blackhawk 'Hunter' in .454 Casull,  4"  barrel and Mag=na-ported.  Bisley or plow handle.

 

2. same gun except with a 5.5" barrel.

 

 

..........Widder

 

[Dawg Hair, SASS #29557]

I'd like to get my hands on one of those B-westerns six guns that never ran ou of bullets

[Chantry]

I have amazing taste in guns:  A British Purdey hammergun

[buffalo chip jed]

I would like a really nice over and under trap shotgun. Like a Browning citiori 725 trap or a skb 95 asr. But that's just me.

[Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428]

A couple I dream about but will never own.

 

A full auto Thompson (already been said, but I want one too)

A 44 Mag Desert Eagle (not gold plated, just normal stainless will suffice)

A HK MP5, full auto of course (I've watched Die Hard way too many times)

 

 

 

[DeaconKC]

Three I have had and had to part with:

1. Another Tommy Gun

2. C96 Mauser Broomhandle

3. Another Colt SAA

[DukeSoprano]

Currently:

Colt SAA 7&1/2" Barrel, all blue, no CCH, 44 Special

[Jim Brown]

There are 4 I would love to have but will never happen.

BAR- Colt Monitor.

HK-SP5 Suppressed

M-4

M-2 Carbine

[Nickle]

There is nothing like a real colt first gen. Reproductions no matter how good or worked on are just not the same thing. It's hard to explain. 

It's same thing with a real Sharps ,Henry or Winchester. But the early Colts, Wow!

Presentation guns all engraved with fancy grips do nothing for me. They are like trailer queens at a car show. 

I like real guns that were used by normal men who made history.  Working guns that went the distance.

One of those would be so much fun!  Love my M1 Carbine, full auto would be a blast!

Is that what he meant?

 

I thought he wanted a cut-down 50 caliber Browning.

An M2 Carbine was a select fire version of the M1 Carbine.

[Alpo]

I'm fully aware of that. I was making a joke. Did you see me sticking my tongue out at you?

Me too!! (At least after I saw Dirty Dozen)

BUT- you gotta pay at least $40k. Unless you’re a class 3 dealer!😢

So, no grease gun for me. (Most I’ve paid for anything is $23k)

Indeed they are! And WAY cheaper than a grease gun!! My first purchase. 10k

My second purchase. Sort of.

But my dream gun: the Thompson from the MGM arsenal. But I didn’t buy it. It was for sale $2000 back in the ‘70s. But I bought a cheaper gun.😢

Can you imagine the VALUE of that gun today? It’s HISTORY??

[T.K.]

1) A Stainless steel copy of the 1875 Remington in .44mag

2) a BAR in .30-06

3) A Stainless steel Luger in .45 auto.

And to think, they cost less than $15.00 to build in the first place!!

I had a 1928A1 and an M1A1 Tommy guns in 'Nam. They are a hoot to shoot and I would take either one (or both) in a heart beat.....but if money was not an object and I had a carrier vehicle of some kind, and a place to shoot, it would have to be my favorite lady, Ma Deuce.

 

And I'd have to  hire someone to clean it, carry it around, and pick up the brass.

Actually, the price of an M2 isn’t that bad! I considered one, but it wasn’t really at the top of my list.

Always wanted a classic African caliber double rifle.  Price and lack of any conceivable need the only barriers.  I do have a couple of African caliber bolt guns, also not needed, but they don't quite make it.  Too much Capstick!

Strangely enough, I don't really have one.  I have a pair of dream guns.  A Devel full bore model 39, and also a Devel worked over 1911 (1942 vintage, stamped "PROPERTY OF US ARMY).  There's nothing really on my list, though wife wants me to pick up a really big revolver for hiking in the woods in case of big 4 legged critters.  Spring will see me getting a Ruger Alaskan in 454.

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

maybe  , A Randell B series (left hand) 1911 

 

  very few made ,

There is a very nicely done repro of the M3A1 available that shoot "BBs".  About a $175.00. (Denex maybe?)  There is also an M3 out there but I don't think it looks quite as authentic.

 

Saw a lot of the A1s in'Nam.

[ShadowCatcher]

Back in the day shooting 35mm film I longed for a 35mm that would expand to 4x5 when placed in the developer,

a clear case of unobtainium.  Now it's simpler; I already have gotten half way there.

 

My prize .45 SAA is one the late Eddie Janis did for me - a blue/cc 7.5" with presentation grade walnut stocks and

his phenomenal trigger work, but I would love to have the same gun with a Black Powder frame and in all Royal Blue.

Beyond that I'm already happy.
