I will admit that the colt offering of the same type appeals to me as well. i would be happy with both sitting next to each other in my safe

Mauser C96 broomhandle, preferably in 9mm. Would really rather have a refurbed and converted shooter over an original collector.

I'm good

I’d like an M1918...for the most part I have what I want though. Maybe an HK sear at some point to round out the collection.

Decent Luger

I've already had them...lol

Dragunov SVD (NDM-86) and a Type 2 Russian AK-47.

Both were sold quite a while ago. Awesome to have around, but eventually I just didn't see a point in keeping them around.. I suppose I've moved on from being any sort of gun collector. Looking back I should have held on to the SVD longer to let the value go up, but the absolute killing I made selling the AK more than made up for it.

For classics, it would be a German make PPKs. I'd like a boutique AR15. And I'd also like a machine gun if I can afford it (not likely).

MG42 or M60

You never specified they had to be good guns.

CZ Tactical Sport Orange. Been wanting one for a few years. Finally bought one last weekend. The most I've spent on a handgun at one time.

Right now I'm in the middle of piling up Glocks, but eventually I'd like to get a bunch of pre-Model 92 Berettas (especially a 1934), collect some of the guns from 24 (not the actual ones but same models) and get a few historically significant types.

I like the Colt vest pocket better.

Actually don't really have any guns that I just HAVE to have right now... probably going to buy a G43X next month. other than that...? I'd love to have an artillery Luger one day. And a 1928 Thompson but that won't ever happen.

Short term goal is dual tube NVGs

Svd in 6.5 creed

I want a pistol caliber lever gun, .357, .45Colt, .44mag.

Maybe something with a straight stock, and an octagon barrel, 16 or 20 inch barrel

A Marlin or Winchester (or clone) 1892, or 1873.

Its only purpose would be pure enjoyment.

Posted: 4/1/2020 9:21:23 PM EDT

For me up next is an original Sharps 1859 or even an 1863

This, a Romak will not cut it, I couldn't even bring myself to buy one when they were $700, no way I'm paying $1,400. Dragunov may never happen though, only 100 here and it doesn't look like they'll be opening importing them anytime soon.

Holland and Holland Side Lock 470NE or 500NE.

A short rail CZ 75, from 1975, would be my "grail gun".

But who am I kidding, that's actually a long list.

For many years it was an MP5 clone. I got it. Thought I was done. Now I want an M3 grease gun. But that’s a no way at those costs.

I kick myself in the ass to this day for not buying one in the 80's for $600.00 new. Now, they are between $1500 & $3000. I will have one though.
I know it's ugly..

I give you, the H&K SL8-1.
