Mine is pretty standard... but I am not in a rush. Here is the idea...
What is your Firearms Bucket list... what do you really want to add to your collection and why? The key question is why.
I don't really NEED any more. I'm getting old(er) and not competing anymore. Not working anymore. Not hunting... I have my carry pieces. But you know what they say: "You can never have too much money or too many guns."
So, if I should come across any of these at a good price or owned by a friend willing to trade for something I no longer need.... I think I could add them to my current collection.
1. Original Henry Rifle in 45 Colt or a 45-70
Yeah, yeah, I don't need either one, and don't reload either caliber, but there is just something about both that makes me want to be able to take them out of the rack and go shoot them. I always liked big guns. I think that's one of the reasons I became a door gunner. The 50 caliber....
2. Colt Gold Cup National Match Stainless.
I was shooting competition at the local level matches and had put my Springfield .45 in the hands of "our" guy to have it built with all the needed custom parts to make it a Match Gun. So, I was without a .45. My Team Mate's dad loaned me ^^^^ gun to shoot the service auto match with. It was out of his safe and rarely used. I WON the Service Auto match with the gun, beating out my teammate with his dad's gun. I offered to buy this beautiful gun... but the Dad said it wasn't for sale, it was going to JR when he passed. Yes Have wanted my own ever since, even though my Springfield shot just as good, if not better.
3. M1 Garand or M1A aka M14
I shot both in the 600 yard matches in the Corps and loved them. I preferred the M14 for the detachable mag and the 308 vs the 30-06 ammo, but I loved the sights on both. Plus, the Corps carried both into combat. A Marine should have one of each. Wink
4. Colt Single Action in 45LC or .357
Need I explain this one? The gun that won the west. 45cal is historically correct, but the 357 I already load for and it would match my Henry Carbine. I could live with a Ruger Blackhawk with stag grips.
5. Thompson with stick or drum mag
Who doesn't want a Tommy Gun? Not practical, but the cool factor is off the charts and I load for 45acp.
6. Colt Diamondback 38
I would add this to pair with the Diamondback .22 I have had for 30+ years that my Girls learned to shoot on. Beautiful gun, shoots like a dream, and getting harder and harder to find.
There are probably a couple more I'd like to have, but I'm in brain freeze mode... these are the main ones that are at the forefront. I am not actively looking, I will pick them up if they come to me. I would make a trade or a cash purchase if they were offered.
so here goes.
