Dont ask how I come up with 6, just thought it would be interesting number, if you could only own 6 firearms, what would they be?
Me, probably;
s&w ar10 .308.
S&w 686p
Colt 6920
Glock 17 g4
870p
And a o/u 12 gauge, I have a Winchester, but would probably upgrade

1. S&W Mountain Revolver .44 Magnum.
2. Springfield TRP .45 ACP.
3. Browning SA 22.
4. Browning Citori 12 Gauge, 26 In Barrels with choke tubes.
5. Ruger American in 30.06.
6. FN SCAR 16 .223.
 
These are guns I own:
A Sako Mauser( 1954) 30-06
Model 28-2, 6"
Ljutic LTX 12 ga trap gun
Model 17-3 ( 1968) 22 cal
Belgium HB Browning Safari 222
Model 29 Classic DX 5"bbl 44 mag

Tough question to answer, but with that selection, I can shoot cheaply, protect myself, shoot trap, and hunt anything in North America. The only gun I might change would be the trap gun (LTX) to a Krieghoff K80 32" o/u to shoot singles, handicap and doubles trap

I would keep my 1911, 4506, 6906, LCP, the 1973 Glenfield Model 60 that was my dad's and I'd like to get back the stolen Ruger Standard that dad gave me for graduation.

I will delete this later lest the ether labels it an arsenal.

Easy, I am an old guy and have had most of the 6 gun limit for most of my life. I have more - - Because I can - but limited to 6:

1. Browning Auto 5 12 ga.
2. Marlin 39A
3. Rem. 700 ADL 30-06
4. Rem. 788 .223
5. Ruger Single Six/old model convertible 22/22mag
6. S&W Model 686 4inch

There was a time when the 686 would have been a 19/66 4in. but I have come to believe the 686 is a better choice even if it isn't as stylish.

The above will cover all that I would need to carry me through to the big dirt nap. Hunting and plinking/target practice and while, maybe, not the top choice for CC the 686 would work if needed.

I have owned all of the listed guns since I was in my mid-20s or earlier except for the 686. I was in my mid 30s before they came out.
 
1. 870 Police Marine Magnum.
2. Sig P229 SAS 357Sig w/ spare 9mm Barrel
3. Home made Mega Maten 308 18”
4. Home made AR15
5. HK45
6. 640 Pro
 
Six? Well, I am down to two (2) as of now: a Ruger SR1911 CMD in .45 ACP, and a Shield 2.0 9mm. (My M&P 2.0 compact became a Shield on Friday...I wanted a smaller carry gun.) I only plan one more purchase for me: a Mossberg Shockwave (can't decide on 12 or 20.) I've owned over 130 handguns in my lifetime, although not nearly all that many at one time...probably 25 at most at any one time. Anyway, I'm tired of buying/selling/trading, and since I don't have anyone to leave them to (my sons have no interest) I've kept only what I want and need. As the saying goes, we spend the first half of our lives acquiring and last half disposing. I'm also getting rid of some other collections (not firearms) that I've accumulated...I'm finding some pleasure in being light and lean (in all except my physique.)

Is there a special reason for only six, SHF, or just because that is what you want to know.
