Not sure. I have about $550 saved up right now, but I feel the smart thing to do would be sit on it for a while. I can't decide what to buy next anyway.

-Remington 700 SPS or Savage 10 variant to get in the "long range" game.
-Some form of 9mm compact pistol for general purpose pistol.
-Draco AK pistol. A local shop has them for $330. I'd like to buy one and have it SBR'd some day, but it would be kind of pointless to own in pistol form at the moment.
-Build an A4 clone or similar AR with a 20" barrel.

I'll probably just end up buying ammo, magazines, and gear here and there.

I think Bank of America is getting most of it. Noveske will get the rest.

Been thinking about an FNP 45 tactical in FDE with either an AAC tirant or silencer co osprey.

Also would like an AAC SPR/M4 suppressor in .223 and then of course lots of ammo to feed my hobby.

Without a shadow of a doubt, even if it mean's less of a down payment on a new minivan for the wife:

1) Colt ANVIII

As long as nothing changes with job and tax return is big enough:

2) 7.62x39 conversion for the XCR

If a great deal comes along that I can't pass up:

3) SIG P228 (preferably early-mid 90's)
4) HK P7 (prefer M8)

Unexpected moderate windfall:

5) SIG P232
6) FAL

If I hit the mega millions lottery and run out of firearms to buy:

nth) a Glock

I'd like to snag another Mosin Nagant 91/30, and am planning on another shotgun. I'm leaning towards Benelli.

Well, the first gun I'm picking up in 2011 was actually bought last week in 2010

.

I'm hoping my new M&P9 w/thumb safety comes into the shop today so I can pick it up after work.

I'm going to try to stockpile some mags for it over the course of the year. Other than that, I'm planning on buying as many reloading components as my wife will allow (not as much as I'd like, sadly).

I haven't done shit with my rifles since moving to Indiana more than a year ago, so they're leading a pretty boring life as the pistols are getting all the shooting and training time.

Pickin up my M&P9 next week.

Gonna get either a smith 442 or ruger lcr.

That might be my gun purchases for the year.

I gotta work on paying off a 4,000 dollar loan so I'm planning to be responsible. Might could get it mostly gone by June but who knows. That will free up 160 a month for me.

Better question would be..."Who isn't getting my money in 2011?" lol!

I'll probably be living in a cardboard box when I retire.

AR Performance when they start making 6.5BR uppers.

.50 Beowulf from someone. Maybe Alexander Arms.

Another 6.8. Either from scratch or AR Performance.

SCAR

ACR if Bushy grows a brain and starts building the thing correctly.

BCM, Spikes, etc

Buttload of other places for the rest of the small stuff and ammo.

That's a start.

I'd like to snag another Mosin Nagant 91/30

This may be in my not to distant future if my 762-SD ever gets approved. I have a feeling a chop and thread job on my Mosin will be a waste of money and a good shooting rifle.

Larue & TNVC got most of my budget last year. This year I will focus on enjoying those toys. Goal this year is not to invest a lot of new money into firearms, but use and enjoy the ones I have a little more.

Pretty much what he said. I do have a Keltec subrifle on order and couple YHM cans. At this point I hope to keep it that way, but we'll see.

well. We are getting close to this years Shot Show. Maybe there will be a surprise or 2, we'll see.

In this economy I really don't think any big surprises will surface. Of course I'm usually wrong

Colt,

Beretta

HK,

And if I can find any of my most wanted list guns too.

If I can swing it I plan on buying my first suppressor. I just need to do a few side jobs and I'll be GTG!

You will be VERY pleased with a Benelli.

I'm after a Mosin too, a few AR lowers, and a Five Seven.

Split evenly between Widener's and Gemtech.

Posted: 1/12/2011 9:57:07 AM EDT

A SCAR and another ACOG are on the horizon. Ouchie.

Well just ordered a case of 5.56 from palmetto yesterday and today get called into the boss' office where I am informed I have earned a $550 bonus.

Probably go with a S&W M&P9c in hopes that we should be passing a ccw law soon in the badger state. Otherwise I'll pick up a eotech and a lower for my next build.

Posted: 1/13/2011 5:00:53 AM EDT

[#19]

The State of Illinois will.
Since O'Quinn will surely sign the legislation upping the state income tax by 66% which means the average Illinoisan who earns $30,000 a year will now pay $1666.00 instead of $1000,00 and I earfn double that, my next purchase is now on hold.

A BOLT gun is your "one gun" answer?

Posted: 1/13/2011 6:18:15 AM EDT

[#21]

I though tI wasn;t gonna buy a gun in 2011. Then I saw that SCAR 17s were coming down to reasonable levels. Then I saw the Colt SP901 modular carbine is coming out, and I admit I'm VERY intrigued. I'm thinking THAT's my next purchase.

Posted: 1/13/2011 8:12:06 AM EDT

[#22]

Well just traded my xd9 for a S&W M&P 9

other things:

ADM recon mount
Huglu/CZ double shotgun
ammo
mags for the S&W

I've decided that this year I'm going to focus about 95% of my firearms budget on actual firearms and ammo, rather than accessories. Sooo much of it is going toward building my AK-based arsenal, meaning Classic Arms and Centerfire will be getting most of it

Also looking to pick up some sort of a 308 bolt gun, but haven't even start researching that.

Hoping to pick up at least 3-4 more Mosins and a bunch of ammo as well.

I'm considering an M4gery, but that will probably wait until next year. I want to get my long-ignored list whittled down first.

Posted: 1/14/2011 12:33:01 AM EDT

[#24]

Depending on how much I save/how good my return is, I might pull the trigger on a Liberty Mystic 9mm can.

Posted: 1/14/2011 8:02:20 AM EDT

[#25]

LRB M25 tanker and M1 Garand

Posted: 1/14/2011 8:37:17 AM EDT

[#26]

The only thing on my list is ammo and a 9mm can.

Posted: 1/14/2011 9:09:05 AM EDT

[#27]

ruger scout rifle and an Eotech

Posted: 1/16/2011 5:33:07 AM EDT

[#28]

I will be buying a marlin 336 this year, probably used from a pawn shop. They are still in the $250 range around here. Next on the list is one of the savage axis rifles in .308, not sure when I will get it but the next hangun on my list is a beretta 92.

Posted: 1/16/2011 12:42:33 PM EDT

[#29]

I will be buying a PTR 91

Posted: 1/17/2011 8:36:17 AM EDT

[#30]

I have several things on the list. Not sure how far the money will go in 2011, but the list is in order.

Adco for a barrel chop and pin and weld a supressor mount on my rem 700.
AAC for a 308 can.
The government so I can own the can.

AR-10, and then I want to sbr the upper.
Pay the government another $200 so I can chop the AR-10.

Posted: 1/17/2011 10:12:20 AM EDT

[#31]

Really depends on SHOT Show right now, but I have a few things on my short list this year. I will likely not purchase everything, but these are my contenders.

A) Kel Tec KSG: if it becomes available for a reasonable MSRP I will certainly consider it.

B) Bushmaster ACR: I am real close to pulling the trigger on an ACR as the price continues to become more affordable and I'm waiting to see what Bushmaster will do in regards to parts this year at SHOT. This is really my top contender for money since it would be a significant investment.

C) I'm thinking of picking up a Trijicon RMR or other ruggidized mini-red dot sight. I'm looking to see what options come out at SHOT, because I think these a big contenders in the market and more folks are going to enter the field with options. What I want to do is mount it to a pistol.

D) Surefire. I'm really excited to see what Surefire is doing this year. I have a feeling that their lights will finally get up to the lumens I want them to be at since the X400 is now at 170 lumens, which I feel is very respectable.

E) Magpul: I'm really hoping that Magpul comes out this year with their 40 round PMAGs. If they do I'll bet all over it. I'm also curious to see what they are going to put out MOE wise.

F) MSAR. I may pick up another MSAR rifle this year or at the very least will be purchasing more parts/accessories for it.

G) Holsters: I'm really looking to see someone come out with holster options with RMR's in mind for pistols.

H) I'm also looking to upgrade my spotting scope this year and maybe pick up some steel targets. I've got a few in mind, but I'm not married to any one company at this point. Again, really looking at SHOT this year to see what is coming out. What I want are steel targets that are highly protable, but strong enough to last rifle fire.

John Noveske is gonna get my money when I get home, for a 10" AAC BLK upper..

Posted: 1/17/2011 10:34:45 AM EDT

[#33]

Toying with the idea of either a Adams Arms or a Troy PSD upper for my SBR
If I do that, then I'll be building another SBR. Perhaps this time in 6.8 (Troy is supposed to have one in the works)
SCAR 17 (on lawaway already)
KSG once released. Already have a standing order
7.62 can that wil lrun on my 6.8/5.56 guns
9mm can...perhaps if I'm not happy w/ my Osprey once the nanny says I can have it
ammo
training
(if money flows easily then perhaps a Ed Brown Molon Labe 1911)

Posted: 1/17/2011 10:40:12 AM EDT

[#34]

First on the list a good CCW pistol. A Glock 19,23, or something else.
A .308 rifle would be nice. The new Ruger looks neat but 995 is a little much. I would look for a M1A first.

Posted: 1/17/2011 10:48:41 AM EDT

[#35]

Mostly Harley Davidson

On the gun side:
5.56/.223 ammo. Lots of it!
Foliage Pmags and some mag carriers.

.45ACP ammo.
10mm ammo.

Fix my .50BMG upper.

Maybe a Kimber Montana in .7mm-08 with a TR24G on top.

Posted: 1/17/2011 4:45:14 PM EDT

[#36]

I want an Arsenal AK 74 + 2000 rds of 5.45 real bad.
and at least a case of 5.56
And a Ruger 10/22.
I also have my sights set on an M1A and ammo but that'll have to wait awhile.

Pistol wise...there's nothing that I'm really craving right now. But that'll change.

I already have a few guns on layaway.
One gun shop
Romanian PSL & S&W M&P 45 compact

Gander Mtn I have a SKS-D on layaway.

Not so crazy if you live in a state that does not allow an automatic for hunting or restricts possession of self-loaders.

Almost all of my cash is going towards ammo and range time. I might spring for a DD upper if finances go really well... but realistically I want more range time than anything else. I'm going to move closer to the range and hopefuly be able to attend more classes and matches.

I'm kinda on a downswing as far as guns are concerned. Right now my interests are moving back over to arms, armour, and and history. I'll probably spend more on arms and armour this year than on guns. I have my eye on an Albion Norman, and I need a good scabbard for my Albion Reeve...

As far as guns go, about the only thing I am thinking is a few more spares for my AUG, and more evil "hi capacity" mags for all my guns... If I were to come into some major windfall I might consider a lever action of some sort, but only after I've crossed off everything on my arms and armour wish list...
