I once owned a 54 Hawken built by Milt hudson when he started Ozark Mtn Arms. The rifle had been on the cover of Guns and Ammo. It had Long locks, triggers, a Hand made green Mtn BBL and rienhart Fajen made the stock by hand.
Milt change all the hardware and was catching it from dealers, showing them a prize and sending a lesser gun. He had one made up with the new parts and I was in his shop the day he decided to let it go, got it pretty cheap.

He had borrowed the original hawken in the arch Museum and had it copied exactly. It was like having an original Sam Hawkins plains rifle, half stock.

I have a copy of the Medina Hawken which is in the Colorado History Museum.

Maker went into the museum and made pencil tracings of the patch box, stars, and metal forearm replacement etc.If a nail or screw is worn out on the original, it is worn out on mine too.

That is nice. Looks like my old one.

Ronde voo, great place to shoot playing cards in half and split a ball on an axe breaking 2 clays and dinging steel plates at a hundred yards. The sun should never have set on some of those days.
 
A four inch Colt Python.
A match grade Springfield M1A.
A 1917 Enfield in 30-06.
Last but not least, A Savage 99 in 308.

I thought I knew until I saw what everyone else wants, now the list is just too long! I will say that a 10mm would be nice, .480 Ruger, .50BMG, .338 Lapua, .45-70 Sharps....... I'm suffering from firearm envy!!
 
I like auto pistols the weirder the better. I've wanted a Borchardt for almost half a century. Now they're 'way up in five figures.

A Merkel 147E. Hunting fortysome years ago I had seen the old guys using fine side by sides and over & under shotguns.

Double Shotguns By Lion Country Supply | Merkel – 147E

With Christmas coming up I will need to decide if I shall continue dreaming of one or if I should live my life and admit that I am a gun nut. And it is definitely a better "investment" than a new motor vehicle ....
 
I have always kinda wanted a real 1873 Colt Single Action Army but when
I look at the price tag the want kinda goes away. But I do have a nice
replica to show off my holsters.
 
I have had the good fortune to actually own most of my dream guns.
Some- like Colt SAs which I passed along.
Except I never had- - A registered Magnum and a Model 51.
 
a baby chief with a half penny front site. have bid for a few but they went too high for my wallet.

I know they are the first mass produced semi auto handguns but would it also be the first striker fired gun too?
