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

[alaskavett]

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.

 

[292]

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.

 

[292]

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.

 

[Dave.357]

I thought I had all anyone could
Want, then I read all of your
comments.Well I am not going
to start again but sig210 sounds
interesting !

 

[elm_creek_smith]

Almost forgot! I want a H&K 9x19mm MP5K-PDW with a separate suppressor.

I'm a long tube fan boy and always on the lookout for a 8 3/8 inch Model 17 or 617. I've passed on a few when the seller's asking price and my available funds just didn't quite jive. As long as I keep an eye out, I'm confident that some day the Universe will align between a seller and my bank account and it will happen.

 

[Moo Moo]

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

Yes, I could also go a H&K P7M8. Pretty expensive over here too.

 

[Arquebus357]

Since they were introduced, I've had a hankering for a Chiappa Rhino. I know they are ugly but for some reason they ring my bell. One of my friends has one and we took it apart. Be warned, the pins are not attached to the back of the frame like a S&W. When you lift the side plate you can pull the pins up along with it and every thing goes flying.

We were surprised at how well all the parts were finished. We didn't see any areas needing a gunsmith's stones. Fine shooter.

 

[t4terrific]

I've been wanting a Steyr GB since 87. I was 11 then, but I still want one. Just not enough to dish out the dough.

Additionally, I've wanted a Python since I realized that's what Hawk, from Spencer for Hire was carrying. They are too high compared to Smith's to warrant the purchase now.

 

[MCorps0311]

Here lately the M-14 Paratrooper rifle.I want one bad.

 

[JohnRippert]

[tenntex32]

I have three that come to mind rather fast...………

1920's era S&W Commercial Model 1917 .45acp revolver

Post WWII era S&W Commercial Model 1917 .45acp revolver

1920's era Colt Commercial/Civilian Model 1917 .45acp revolver

Not asking for too much here, just correct and in VG-Exc condition.......at a little-old-lady garage sale price.

[HOUSTON RICK]

I have always wanted a wooden stock Springfield M1A in 308.

 

[raisedin99]

I have often thought I would like to own a Stevens Walnut Hill in .22 Long Rifle.

I can only imagine what it may have been like to shoot competitively back in
the old days with a rifle such as that.

[Dwaine]

My as new Colt Python Nickel 4" with box and papers I sold in 1980 and the real MP40 I was offered for $500...

 

[ruger 22]

A Holland&Holland side by side rifle in .577 Nitro Express. Way out of my price range and I have absolutely no use for this but I would love one as a 'holding gun.'

 

[Inusuit]

Ever since I saw a Winchester 1886 in .45-90 hanging in a local gun shop in the 1960s, I've wanted one. Probably settle today for one of the replicas as the originals are too expensive for my beer budget.

 

[Crh1943]

In the back of my mind....

2 of them;

Model 547 3" round butt & Model 19-3 up to a -6. Those are dream guns for me.

 

[Bob L]

From when I wore a younger man's clothes, a Remington Model 600 Magnum in 350 Remington Magnum and maybe it's sister in 6.5 Remington Magnum. I purchased a 600 Mohawk and used it for hunting for years and a couple of years ago, purchased a 600 in 35 Remington but they are not quite a magnum with the laminated stock. Also a Winchester Model 92 in 44-40 with the 12 or 14" barrel.

 

[jaymoore]

In the handgun realm:
A relatively recent lust would be one of the very few .41 Magnum 10 5/8" barreled AFS Model 57s that I first read about in an early edition of the SCSW. And taunted with further on this forum!

Way before that: The old semi-automatic Webley-Fosbery .455 revolver.
And for something rather more converntional: a set of .455 Autos, one a Webley Mk.1 and the other a Colt Government Model. (Some .455 auto pistol ammo would be nice, too.)

 

[jtcarm]

A nice Merkel, Griefelt or equally nice 16 gauge over and under haunts me at the end of every pheasant or quail hunt.
I have several 20 O/U's and a 12, but a 16 would sure be nice

I'll go along with the Merkel O/U, not necessarily 16 though.

Beretta ASE 90.

But, as they say, it's not what you've got, but how you use it. I made lots of great memories hunting quail with my Britany and SKB 500 (basically a copy of the Merkel O/U.)

Given the choice, I'll take a good dog & good bird country and hunt with my old SKB.

A bit of thread drift, but I liked my 28ga SKB O/U until I got a 28ga Winchester 101 Quail Special. That's the best shotgun I've ever owned, or shot, for that matter! Of course, it's all in how they fit you, etc., and that SKB was nicely made.

Back onto the "wish list" theme, this time shotgun: A Remington 1100 LT20 with a 26" IC barrel (or screw in chokes). My very first shotgun was the same but with a 28" modified choke barrel. Thing shot more like a rifle. Miss (a lot!) or "hamburger" the critter.

I had one of those I bought for my ex but sold later. Originally a 28" mod, I added a 26" skeet.

The late Dick Eades was a huge fan of SKB O/Us. The 28 gauge was his favorite, and he had a collection that might have filled two Cabelas gun libraries..
