Quoted: AK-47(or AKM if you want to get anal about names), hands down. http://i48.tinypic.com/28k11rr.jpg Calling an AKM an AK-47 is like calling an M4 an M16. |

I love the looks of an AK underfolder, but they suck to shoot without a decent cheek weld. My Polish underfolder is one of the most comfortable rifles I have ever fired. 
http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/45fmjoe/Firearms/Polishweb2.jpg Don't mind the non-Polish mags and Tapco pistol grip, all have been replaced with Polish originals. I need to take updated pictures. 
Where DO you put your cheek? I've always wondered that about the metal underfolders. |

AFARR You're missing the P7M8 and P7M13 They're on the expensive side, but they are one sexy beast! Now if only I could afford a P7M13.

I think m14s/m1a's are the best looking guns in the history of the world. That said, I decided not to buy one.  |

Hey tripleplay....................I agree with you on the P7.............but I think the P7 PSP is superior in appearance to the M8. I own both a M8 and a PSP, and the PSP has a little more sexier looks! |

Quoted: I'll throw the first "decorated" gun out here I suppose. I had this done for my brother's wedding. I did the engraving on grips myself with a dremel http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/reptar_head/adamsgun.jpg That is some damn good freehand dremel work! |
(I love mine).... and most of everything else thats been mentioned

I've always liked the looks of the 92FS/M9 series pistols. VTJosh's pictures. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4150/1021035.jpg http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5440/1021038.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4272/1021039.jpg Beretta does make a good looking pistol. Others will disagree with me on this, but I think that the full size Glocks are good looking pistols. |

I'm going to reply before looking at the other posts because I don't want to keep adding stuff to my list. My personal favorites: M1 Garand/M14 platform (wood stock with the standard length barrell... though the EBR is growing on me, I don't like the plastic scout stuff) Colt SAA (traditional grip... none of that Bisley or Birdseye crap) AR-15 (This is Arfcom after all...) M1911 Beretta M9/92FS (Not just because I own one, but I see a bit of art deco influence in the slide design... its unmistakable in so many movies/shows) Browning Hi-power (which has some 1911 influences... plus I really want one) Luger (No list is complete without this gorgeous firearm... my grandad has a 1941 byf that I'd love to have some day) AK-47 (There's something so utilitarian about them... not that pretty, but an image of success... like how beautiful a ratchet set might be... its nothing special but its so damn useful) Thompson M1A1 (no explanation needed) I always like Italian O/U shotguns... but they specialize in the art of gun making. I love the old Coach Gun shotguns of the wild west too. Throw in Henry rifles while we're at it. |
