Just like the title suggests, what guns are on your bucket list.
I could go on for days but for accuracy I will limit myself to the ones I have to have. :D

Wheelguns:
Model 25-5 8 3/8" Barrel, Blued
S&W Model 1917
686/681 Hydra Multi Cal Cylinder
Model 610

Rifles/Shotguns:
Winchester 1897 Original Barrel Length (I've only seen two, both chopped)
Marlin Model 1895GS 45-70
Ruger No.1 Tropical .375 H&H

These are the "have-to's" all the tactical stuff is reserved for "want-to".
What about you guys?

1.S&W model 10 4 inch heavy barrel blued finish
2.S&W model 36 two inch barrel blued finish
3.S&W model 60-15 .357 magnum 3 inch barrel
 
There is a model 10 just like that at the LGS.
Someone has slapped some rubber grips on it since it shipped.
 
30-40 Krag, real one, not one that has been butchered

M1C/D

M1903/A4

Orginal M 1917 S&W Revolver, Had one but lost it in a burglary

Six inch Model 10 pencil barrel

A Smith Model 25, I had one that I sent back to S&W and had a second cylinder made so it was both 45 ACP and 45 LC

Smith Model 547 (9mm revolver).

I had the last two but some idiot traded them off, probably for something stupid.
 
My list is as of today;
The S&W N Frames only.
S&W M29-10 44mag 6 1/2" barrel in nickel
S&W M57 41mag 4" barrel in nickel
S&W M24 44 special 4" or 6 1/2" barrel in nickel
S&W M25 45 long colt 6 1/2" barrel in nickel or blue
S&W M27 357mag 6 1/2" barrel in blue or nickel
S&W M657 41mag 2 5/8" barrel in stainless
S&W M657 41mag 6 1/2" barrel in stainless

To collect older S&W & colt police 38 specials.

One chapparral arms 50-95 lever action as my new bear rifle.
A Sharps 50-120 with a 36" octagon barrel. I may have to make it.
To collect any winchester, stevens or remington older shotgun or 22cal rifle thats affordable.

I have simple tastes. My bucket list guns are all revolvers.

1. S&W 500 with a 6.5" barrel.
2. S&W 460VXR with a 8 3/8" barrel.
3. A Colt Python.
 
Here's mine:

1. Pre-1970 Colt Python, 6" blue
2. Weatherby Mk V Deluxe .308 with a birdseye maple stock
3. Winchester 9422

S&W Model 15, 2" barrel. Prefer nickel but no hard feelings if blued.
S&W Model 10, 2" barrel, round butt preferred.
Colt SAA .44 Special, blue/casecolored, 4 3/4" barrel.

Uberti "Winchester" Model 1873 saddle ring carbine in .44 Special.
Newish Winchester Model 1895 SRC in 30-06.
Uberti 1876 "Winchester" carbine with full length foreend in 45-60.
Uberti 1866 "Winchester" SRC in .44 Special.
 
Simple, short list

K-32 masterpiece mfg late '40's

- or -

Who knows what else jumps out at me
 
Currently a C&R Browning M1917A1 to replace the C&R 1919A4 I sold a few years ago.
 
The only gun I don't have that I'd like to own one day is a Winchester model 21. I don't have a particular configuration in mind - just about any 21 in nice shape would do.
 
This was my bucket list:

M586 blue 357 mag with 2-1/2" barrel.

M629 satin stainless 44 mag with 7-1/2" barrel and unfluted cylinder.

Weatherby Vanguard wood stock 308 Win from late 1980's.

Gunbroker was good between Feb 2011 and Jan 2012 :D :D :D !
 
OK, I'll play, here's mine:
Handguns:
3 1/2" Pre War Heavy Duty. The Catalog says they made some, but I'll bet not many.
5" 1950 .44 Target Model.
5" 1950 Target Model in .45 Colt. VERY few made.
5" M29 4 screw.
Registered Magnum with an unusual barrel length.(You could get them in any length from 3 1/2" to 8 3/4" in 1/4 " increments). 4 3/4" would be cool.:cool:
Original early Flattop Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum with 4 5/8" barrel.

Shotguns:
M21 Winchester 16 Gauge. An early one with double triggers
M97 Winchester Riot Gun

Rifles:
.33 Caliber Pope Ballard Breech/Muzzle Loader with all the tools.
.32 Caliber Pope Winchester HighWall Breech/Muzzle Loader with all the tools.
Springfield SOCOM/16. (That ones actually a possibility).

Some of these are a pipe dream, but hey, that's what dreams are for, right?:cool:

A K-32 that shoots the 32 long as I have a 16-4. Hard to find so I gave Andy Horvath a 17-2 to convert to .32 long. Cut the bbl to 5" and a Weigand interchangeable front sight base. Have a set Of Keith Brown Roper grips waiting for it in exhibition English walnut waiting for it. Its been 7 1/2 mos so far. Hopefully soon. Larry
 
I'm not a collector of old or rare guns, so some no dash j-frame something just doesn't strike my fancy.

This being said it's ok if you think I have no character or class.

My bucket gun would be a Barrett M107 .50 cal.
