What gun (or a few guns) do you find that you consistently love, but that aren't quite as good as gun(s) you would consider favorites?
I'll start it off with some of my "runners up" when it comes to favorites.
From the top:
A "Virtual" Pre-War Kit Gun (looks to be a post war modification based on the finish). Sporting a set of rosewood Kearsarge stocks.
A Colt New Service with a bit of a story, and quite a lot of work by King. Sporting a fine set of Jigged Bone stocks.
A Non-Registered magnum. Sporting a set of walnut Kearsarge stocks.
A Springfield 1911 with a bit of a story, and quite a lot of work by King, Frank Pachmayr, and lord only knows who all else. Sporting some whimsical pachyderm tusk panels.
So I'm sure you guys have some guns that are runners up for one reason or another. Maybe the gun has a story that you like. Maybe you like it but feel like you shouldn't (I have a few of those). Maybe it's not your favorite because you have happened to own another (or other) guns which are just so danged good that a favorites list is just automatically populated with them, leaving other fantastic guns to languish, not unloved, but certainly under celebrated.
The unsung hero guns of your collection.
Lets see them!
