(Within reason) What would it be? My fathers 50th birthday is coming up and I plan on getting him a firearm of his choice. I have about 10months to shop around and find the right one, If it's a gun that isn't readily available obviously. 

Me personally would love to have a pre ww2 serial correct m1 garand/carbine duo. 

So what's your dream gun?

If we mean what gun IN ADDITION to those I already own, then I guess it would have to be a registered MG42....

I would love a .50 cal, but I don't know where I could use it... So KAC SR15 and SR25, I want both and will own them someday.

After being a gunner and gun team leader in the army, I agree a 240 is a mean machine

how do you think it holds up to an MG3?

I have an MG42 and I love it, but even I'll admit the 240 is a better gun.  A couple pounds heavier, but a better gun.

I wish I could compare the two but I have never even seen an mg3 in person. I can say though the 240 will take one hell of a beating. 1200 round cyclic with a barrel change when you can see the barrel glowing with the naked eye and it still runs no problem. I've watvhed one fall from a couple hundred  feet in an airborne event and the only thing that happened was a bent barrel. Swapped barrels and it ran just fine. 


Will run live rounds all day long, blanks on the other hand, it's really up to the gun how they run. I've been in charge of a gun that would ftf/fte every 3rd round. Then would swap to live rounds and would fire 12,000 over a few hours and had zero malfunctions

I'll second the M-134.  If it came with an endless supply of ammo.  I wouldn't want it if I could only look at it and wish I could afford the ammo.

Actually four of them.

I've had my eye on a SCAR for a while. I've got a move coming up before long so it'll have to wait a bit but it'll likely be my next rifle purchase.

That's pretty much all I can think of...within reason

Being completely impractical because I think they're cool, I want a Hotchkiss Portative. Being more pragmatic, a DIAS or RR AR would probably be my choice.

If were including NFA stuff, probably a M60-E6

Non NFA: Probably either an SR-25 or Accuracy International Arctic in 338. I would settle for a SCAR17 and in reality, that may be the only one I can actually ever afford.

Ignoring things like a 20mm, or a MG.   My first thought is a nice shootable Python.   Not a safe queen.  If he's someone who carries, a Python w/ a nice holster for it and a matching speedloader pouch would be a cool gift.

A Stg 57 would go nicely with my other Swiss rifles.  And I've always loved the Star Wars futuristic look of the thing.  And a truck load of GP11 to feed everything.

SIG P210, any of the original Swiss models, in either 9mm or 7.65.  Not one of the new repros.  Every time I'm close to buying one, another major expense comes up and I'm not paying for a gun with a CC.  Or my ADD kicks in and I buy another, probably more practical gun or an addition to the ammo fort.
