What discontinued model guns are on your wishlist?
Not produced anymore, keeping your eye out hoping to come across.
A temberwolf .357 would be as nice find.

CZ 82. It fills a gap in my modest array of CZs. I have an FEG to offer in trade, if anybody has one to spare.

My sister's Marlin 30-30. I've been begging her for years to sell it to me! I also would like a 3 inch 657, pre lock of course.

For me a Marlin 1894CB (Cowboy) in .32 H&R Magnum (only made from 2004-2006) to go with my equally scare Ruger "Buckeye" Blackhawk convertible in 32-20 with the aux .32 H&R Mag cylinder.

A nice, original Enfield No 5 Mk I “Jungle Carbine” for me. One of these days I’m hoping to stumble on a decent one

Mine would be the Ruger Security/Service/Speed Six revolvers as well as the Smith K-frame M&P Magnums - the Model 13 and 65.
I always liked those mid size .357 Magnums, and I feel that they filled a need that many new models cannot fill. For example, the GP100 and L-frames are too big, and the SP101 and J-frame Magnums are too small. However, the Ruger Six series and the K-frame .357s offer a nice balance of compactness and power.

CCantu357, you & I are on the exact same frequency! I'm pining for a nice Model 13, already have the 65, as well as a pair of 66's and a 19.
I have 3 nice 6" SS Security Sixes, as well as a SS 'Bicentennial' 4". I also have a 2 3/4" SS Service Six, and a NIB 4" SS Service Six. Still looking for a SS Speed Six in any barrel length to round out that set. To me, the Security Six is the perfect balance of size, safety, and reliability for the 357 mag.
I always felt that the only reason Ruger went from the Six Series to the GP100 was to follow S&W's lead with the L Frames. I've heard all the stories about Bill Ruger discontinuing the Security/Service/Speed Six because he claimed he never made a dime off of them, but, if put back into production now I bet they'd make a boatload of dimes! GP100's kind of sit there on the used market at pretty standard price levels, but the Security Six's and their kin are climbing every day as they get snatched up by folks who have come to realize the utility of the outstanding design.
I've also got my eye out for a used (I buy 'em all used, or at least try to) Sp101 357 with the 4.2" barrel and adjustable sights. I've already got the 22 version, but feel the 357 in that model would be the perfect 'woods' gun.

The Hakim is one loud rifle, the flash hider seems to vent the noise sideways. I always had plenty of spacearound me at the gun range when I was shooting it but I had paid $69 for 1000 rounds shipped from Paragon. It was the "biggest" gun I ever owned.
My interest is mostly in high quality traditionally made firearms and the easiest way to afford them, is to buy used when a good deal comes up. I have no list but a good idea what I would like to add.

USFA Sparrowhawk and S&W M632 Pro. Either would add to my modest 32 caliber collection.

An army Colt 1908 Hammerless. The kind Patton carried Mexican style in the movie as a backup to his 45 revolvers.
I had a chance at one a few years ago at a pawn shop that was going out of business. Still kicking myself for not getting it. A guy in my CC class had one and I drooled over it.

I had a Marlin Camp Carbine 45. Wish I never sold it. I reloaded on two progressive presses and shot thousands of lead boolit rounds through it and it never ever jammed even though my hands would get black from the crud. I had to replace the recoil buffer several times.

Yeah, I have no use for the 9mm version really but the .45 would be fun.

I'd like to see a S&W 616 in .327 Federal. Just like the 16-4, but in stainless (moving up from .32 H&R Magnum). Mine would have a 6" barrel and patridge front sight.

Discontinued models I'd like to have would be:
WW2 era Remington Rand 1911
WW2 M1 Carbine
Kimber SIS 5" or 4.5" 1911
I'm sure there are others, but those three came to mind rather quickly.

I've bought several different ones brand new that were later discontinued, but some I wish I would have picked up "way back when" are, and not in any particular order:
Diamondback 4" .22LR
Mateba Auto Revolver (although I think they brought it back in Europe)
Pythons, Rohrbough, Dan Wessons (all three calibers), and some others were all bought new and then discontinued, so the above two are about it.

I've mentioned it before, but I've been after a no-dash 640 for several years. I've come close to getting one, but it always seems to be just out of reach.
I'd also like to get a Sig P239. I probably would've gotten one if they were still in production instead of my new Beretta PX4 Compact.
A 2" Model 64 would be nice. Used to have one. Miss it.

Why not? My brother has the 9mm version (of the Marlin Camp Carbine) and I'd love to get it off of him but he won't budge.
I remember it being a royal PITA going for an afternoon of fun in the woods and pasture and lugging around several hundred rounds of 45 acp. That stuff is heavy!
