There have been certain guns that seemed like I had to have them and couldn't rest until I got my paws on one. Whether from watching a Hickoc 45 video or reading about one on a forum or from whatever source, a spark is lit and the hunt is on. First noticed it back in the days when it took months to get the "not disapproved" background check and I was trying to get a GSG 1911 .22 pistol. Seems kind of funny now but I really wanted that gun. Then there was the 10-22 takedown. Scarce and more money that the regular 10-22 back then. Next was the Marlin 39A. Thrilled to get that one. Several more I could add to this but suffice it to say that must be what it feels like to be a collector although I don't consider myself to be a collector. Traded off some to get another "had to have". Nothing critical on my list now so maybe I'm over it!
