What's the one gun that has always been in the back of your mind...

[3rdgeargrndrr]

I've always wanted a H&K P7M8 squeeze cocker.

Had two of them. Honestly how it shoots is far better served in the imagination. Put it next to anything John Browning designed and it will just sit neglected. Sleep well my friend

Since my other addiction is 1800's single shot rifles, my "always wished for gun" is a Marlin Ballard #7 A1 Long Range.

Marlin Firearms Co - Ballard-Rifle-Rifle Firearms Auction Lot-141

I have the plain #7 Long Range, and also a #4 1/2 A1 Mid Range, but the A1 #7 have always been out of my price range at around $15k-$25k. So I'll likely always wish for one!

A problem with growing older is that one has had too many years to acquire all those weapons which were once in the back of his mind and are now cluttering up one's space and eliciting acerbic comments from one's spouse about the inconvenience of running an estate sale.

Has to be the Fallschirmjägergewehr 42:

I got to shoot one of those in Germany in 1972. One of the benefits of belonging to the Schützenverein in Butzbach. A member there had a collector's license for WW2 weapons. It was a beast, but easier to control than a G3 on full auto and much better than an M14. You certainly could see where the design of the bolt and operating group of the M60 machinegun came from.

Since then the laws have change considerably for the Germans and I don't know if under the current Status of Forces Agreement an American soldier would even be allowed to join.

Well, since I can't get a Phase Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range...

I'd settle for that HK-91 that I didn't buy NEW before it was banned. I'd settle for the S&W Model 66 that I actually carried as a rookie LEO back in the 80's. My next choice would be a LNIB W. German Sig P226. Any one of those three would work..

I've always wanted a Browning Hi-Power, made in Belgium of course.

 

[crazyphil]

Only gun I ever wanted but never bought would be a Colt's Single Action
Army. The older the better. Maybe someday. Meanwhile I get along
with a replica.

Devel 39-2. Always has been, likely always will be a dream for me

The Registered Magnum in .22 cal. is always in back of my mind... Would like to be the one to find it !!

A Colt Python from the late 1960's. when I became a Reserve Deputy Sheriff we had to buy our own weapons. I just didn't have the additional $60.00 to buy one so I bought a Colt Trooper instead. They are nice, but they are not a Python.

I always wished I could have kept my Winchester M-14 from JROTC days, or a M-2 Carbine...That said I would like to own the F-E Phantom I crewed, 67-311 or the F-15-A' I crewed 74-082 with the 20MM Volcan cannon ready with 840 rounds of serious "hunting"ammo..... Kyle

 

[rwsmith]

Just talking S&W revolvers....

I'd say a model 66.

I would love to own a Thompson.45. Yes I know the cost.
Talking about the full auto one. Any time were traveling and I find a shooting range if they have one I always rent it and a few boxes of ammo. Found I did quite well with it.


It will never happen as I'm age 73 and would have to move to a free state to get one.

That's a dream of mine also. I lucked into shooting one (right place right time) that belongs to the local police department 15 or so years ago. I've wanted on ever since.

I keep a wish list to long to list here. The aforementioned Thompson is last on my list. Next up is a 6" 629-2, after that a 500 Magnum.

 

[dwcopple]

That you have never purchased, and have always thought was really cool or interesting?

S&W 915. I just like em.

 

[bananaman]

I have a 25-15. Really like it. SURE would like a 25-7 though! Bob

 

[Mrnurse]

DsKa with the Ground tripod... late 1950's model.

 

[Oldman11]

I just traded for the one I have been dreaming about ,a smith Wesson model 16-4 . I will be satisfied until I see something else like a good smith Wesson model 57,I want a pair.

 

[Joed49]

The one I have always wanted is a S&W Triple Lock. I came close once but not close enough.
