Guns you had to have

I had to have a long barreled 686, but it was a disappointment.

The Sub 2000 turned out well, I really like it.

I thought I had to have a Dan Wesson specialist but ended up with a stainless TRP instead. The Dan Wesson is still on my " one of these days" list. Probably look for the commander size

First it was a luger, then a semi 1919a4, then a semi M2HB, then a mountain howitzer, right now its a G43, its kinda never ending. I am realy trying to forget about a 57mm recoiless rifle.

Had to have an M14 clone setup like the one Shughart used in the raids on Mogadishu. Absolutely had to have an M1A Scout with an Aimpoint, then came along FSA2013. Had to settle on a SOCOM 16 and an Aimpoint PRO. Still haven't shot the rifle to this day.

My last purchase of 2013 was an M1A. I was at Duffy’s and there to purchase a Springfield National Match. Vince said “let me show you something”. That devil whipped out a gun that was all GI parts on a Springfield receiver. Still one of my favorite guns to shoot.

Springfield M6 Scout, stainless, .22 Hornet / .410 that I got for around $200. The anti-salesman at Valley Gun didn't want to order it but finally did. I'm glad I got it. They're pretty hard to find now.

Mossberg 500 during the middle of the last panic. I have shot it exactly 0 times. Probably overpaid by a $100.

He did the exact same thing to me with a new NM. But he added a mid 70's SP1... That was an expensive week.

Scarce animal and expensive these days. I have the .410/.22 its a replacement from Springfield. The first one I bought had a chambering issue with the .410 that wasnt safe and popped the breach open when fired. Spooky.

Love to get one in hornet someday, not sure its have to have but wouldnt mind getting one.

Styer m40a1. Thank you Skyfall. Those trapezoid site picture is really awesome

MP44. They still amaze me 40 years later.

Jimbob2.0 · Apr 6, 2020

Now that I think about it a little I would add the following that I snagged over the years

AIA M10A1
ONG 870s
Various Savage99s
Norinco 84S underfolder (still need the fixed stock)

Probably others that I am forgetting. While my collection is carefully curated there are a lot of "targets of opportunity".

Missed out on one of the Walmart Special stainless green laminate 10/22's in the international (Mannlicher) style stock by an inch. Was actually making my first gun purchase and asked about the one behind the County was told it was sold (I was young and too naive to push the matter as why it was still on display) ended up with the conventional stock. Finally a couple months ago got one, circa 1994 make. Only 24+ years later. Paid way too much but wanted it.

Whoa! My first gun, bought it as soon as I turned 18 on sale at Walmart for $125 back in 1997 and it was the last one they had. Still have it too. Unfortunately I was young and dumb and changed a few things with it, but still have the original stock.

International or conventional? Loved those Walmart Exclusive guns interesting that they have become mildly collectible.

International with the full laminated greenish/grayish stock and all stainless.

My unicorn was a Thompson M1A1. Chased it for most of my adult life. Sometimes dreams come true.

I want a 44 Magnum and a VEPR 12 and my collection would be complete. Hopefully.
