How many firearms do you WANT???

Post by El Chivo »

This is a companion topic to the other topic on how many firearms you own. Hey, it's Christmas already:

Here's my wish list:

BFR revolver in 30-30
Rossi .357 revolver
a springer airgun in .177 or a Benjamin Sheridan in .177
Marlin XLR in 30-30 or 35 Rem (I really want them to come out with a walnut/blue version first)
a slicked up 1892 in .357 with a 24" barrel (the Nate Kiowa Jones one)

most of these would duplicate what I already have, so I don't "need" any of them.

The one that interests me the most is the 30-30 revolver. Light and compact for hunting, more power for defense than a .357, a good hiking companion. And probably a not bad silhouette machine either.

Well if you read my post on how many you have you will know what I have. How many I want???
Not a week goes bye that I do not see one I want, so I will keep on adding to the collection whenever I can afford to, simple as that.

I'll start with one of everything made and kind of figure out which ones I'd like to keep after that :lol:
Ammunition for each gun too. :D

Yeah, one of each is a good start... :lol:

Maybe even some small field pieces. :mrgreen:

.45-70 - Check - though I'd prefer a slightly different model...
.357 Rifle - Check
.22 Rifle - Check
12ga Pump - Check
Double/Drilling - Check
CCP or 2 - Check
Flintlock - Check

A good Stainless .45 C&B Revolver (5" ROA)
A good .45 Underhammer &/or Caplock Drilling
A good subgun (SUB 2000 with 30rd Glock/9mm mags)
A High Powered, large caliber, PCP Airgun.
A Stainless 20x20x.357max Drilling

I think that pretty much covers it... Except for the Cold Steel Dragonfly Wakazashi...

Well, aside from those which are simply interesting...

#1 - Ruger flattop .44 Special 4-5/8"
#2 - Ruger flattop .45 Colt 4-5/8" (extra .45 ACP cylinder would be nice)

I liked the idea of a small field piece.

Well, how many is a silly question really. I don't think I could list them all.

However, I can narrow it down to two.

One I need, a 12 gauge shotgun. I'm kinda wanting one of the 1887 lever actions. Not Chi Com though.

~~AND~~

My holy grail. A 4 ¾", Blued/CCH, .45 Colt, with real Elephant ivory grips, Colt SAA.
I've wanted one of those since I was about 5 I think. About the time me and my mom and dad went to see the first John Wayne western at an outdoor theater.

Someday I hope.

The small field piece is definitely on my list, love a Hotchkiss mtn rifle in 37mm, along with a Gatling, preferred in 357 or 44 mag. Next would be a good double rifle in 45-70 (Best chance of this than the first two).

To get to reality now:

Marlin 1895 in 40-65
336XLR in 338 or 358 Hornady express
336 platform in 357Max or 445 Max
260 rem in the 700 CDL SS platform
450 bushmaster
1919a4 in 308/8mm mauser (cool factor!!)

I want far more guns than my finances will ever support! I happen to have a great appreciation for the beauty and utility of the firearm, not to mention the philosophical aspects of gun ownership.

Yep, all of 'em!

But seriously, for now I'm missing a '76 to start with and for some reason have been hesitant on pulling the trigger, so to speak.

Just picked up a 1890 Loewe 1888 Commission, should be here within the week. Like to add a 71/84...checking out one as we speak. That way I'd only be missing a Dryse needle to complete my 1865 to 1945 German collection, already have Gew 98's in various configurations. Also have a Std. Modell Mauser and three K98k's along with a Stg. 44. My Russian stuff is complete except for a Winchester '95 chambered for 7.62 X 54R. Got enough Brits. Still trying to locate a decent '61 Springfield that is not over priced.

Oh yea, forgot the most important...I really need a '92 chambered for .44WCF, preferrably with a 20" barrel.

S&W Mod. 24

S&W M15

.50-70 Rolling Block w/ wiping rod.

A side lever Rolling Block or a Hepburn both probably chambered for .45-2.1" (AKA .45-70).

A swivel breech muzzle loader.

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

One of each will do - each model, from every manufacturer, throughout the history of firearms. I'm trying to keep it simple!

Seriously though, I would like to have several themes completed - er, started. A working representative sample of every standard military arm throughout US history. A working model of every ignition type (match-lock, wheel-lock, etc.). A working model or reproduction of every Colt percussion revolver model. A working model or reproduction of every Winchester lever action model.

Okay, back to my original request!

I would really like a nice Win. '73 in 38-40. As a kid I had one that shot plastic bullets. I fell in love with the looks of the '73. I'd just have to get rid of something(s) to get one as high as they are.
