[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's on your "Must Have" guns list?

Posted: 10/8/2001 11:57:21 AM EDT

What kind of gun will you sell something at a loss, or take other drastic measures to get if the gun shows up at 20-30% less than what they usually go for?

Say that pristine Gov. Carbine shows up for $1500, or the HK P7 M13 with 3 mags turns up in your local gunstore for $800 on consignment?

What's on your list?

Mine:

RR UZI and/or M-16 conversion (my "must have" prices on them would probably be $2500 or less and $4000 or less respectively).

Maybe another P7 PSP for $600.

There are a few others.

Browning Hi-Power in .40 for under $500 (that I could get shipped into MA {pre 10/98 mfg.})

A 1919A4 beltfed MG. If I can't find one cheap soon I guess I will just have to pay full price.

Hey Ponyboy, all I need is the sideplate and my 1919 will be shooting, my friend is a former armorer in the US Army.
but as for me a Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt, Winchester lever to go with it and a double barrel shotgun. Every boy wants to be a cowboy

Right now, I seem to be in "optics" mode.
I really want another NV Riflescope too...

As far as guns- I want a .338 LAP. Bad. And another good .300 WM boltie.

Top that off with a good 6MM PPC- of course, all the assorted optics to go with them- and i'm set.

Yeah, but that is the expensive part. Parts kits are pretty cheap right now. So cheap in fact, I even ordered one as spares for a gun I don't even have yet. Soon though.....very soon.

If you are talking 80% sideplates good for making a "WTSHTF" Full Auto- I can get 'em cheaper.

If you are talking NFA Reg. sideplates, i'll take 1000 of them for $475

"Carrots" make sure your insurance is paid when you touch the .338LAP off the first time.

I had the pleasure of watching a friendly opponnent shoot his for the first time and then got to help him stop the bleeding.

His .338LAP is a Sako action in someone's synthetic stock (maybe factory Sako). Has THREE mercury recoil reducers. He's a 6'2" 200# guy who spent three years as a professional hunter in South Africa. That is to say he is an experienced shooter.

I watched as he benchrest fired the Lapua. He had good posture and leaned into the rifle. Looked like he was doing it right.

The rifle came back into his face STRONG. The scope took a deep bite out of his forehead. You could see all the way to bone.

I got a couple of butterflies on him and sent his ass off to get stitched up.

I have no desire to fire that rifle.

A Steyr IWS2000 15.2mm would make me happy as pie.

Not for a registered right sideplate. If I could find one for $4,750 I would snap it up.

I have. Matter of fact, there was a thread a while back where I mentioned it.

The 338 LAP is a gun that absolutley must be braked. Like a .50. There just is no other way.
I fired an unbraked SAKO .338 as well, and it was bar-none the heaviest recoil I have ever felt- and I have fired the big Nitro rounds b4 (Not to mention own a .50 myself)

The .338LAP is a helluva round though. Nothing better for soft target interdiction.

Isn't a .338 Lapua what the guy supposedly shot the Alaskan pipeline with?

Michael

a kimber haven't decided which model

Posted: 10/8/2001 1:28:22 PM EDT

[#15]

1. Sig P226 (with several pre-ban 15 round mags)

2. Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull 7.5" stainless steel

Posted: 10/8/2001 1:32:20 PM EDT

M16(M4 config)
MP5 SD
H&K P7M13

These are MUST have's. Now the gun list of should haves is long and more costly than that of the above list.

Posted: 10/8/2001 1:40:24 PM EDT

[#17]

For a start...
Colt RO997
FN Minimi SPW
FN MAG 58
KAC Mk11 Mod 0
M14

I heard and read the Alaskan Idiot used a .338 Win Mag to take out that most elusive target. You can be proud of him.

Drunk felon b@st@rd.

The kind of fool who one day will spoil it for all of us.

HK MP5
HK G36 (Never going to get it)
HK UMP45 (Never going to get it)
M16
FN Minimi

scratched it off my list today Barrett. Iam in heaven. [sniper]

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:09:22 PM EDT

AR Sniper,

All Right, I'll bite, which Barrett did you get, and how are you going to scope it?

AFARR

[#22]

You know since the Band of Bros. series has been on, I have been getting a need for the M1 family. You know; M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1A

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:12:53 PM EDT

[#23]

Any Calico, or Bullpup configuration rifle I can afford until I turn 21 and then I can get a Class III [:D] I look forward to that.

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:26:37 PM EDT

[#24]

For me,the list would include:
M-1 Garand
M-1 Thompson
and just maybe a M-60E3

[sniper]

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:35:46 PM EDT

[#25]

I must say that I am pretty content right now. I would love to have an M1 carbine but they are not NJ legal. Go figure. Oh, this just came to me. A Glock 20 in 10mm would be nice.

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:37:38 PM EDT

[#26]

I'd have to say;

#1 Barrett, semi-auto
#2 Colt M-16
#3 H&K MP5
#4 Uzi model A full auto

Of course, any of these are way more than the boss would ever let me spend but if I could...... Boy Howdy would I!!!!

Posted: 10/8/2001 2:40:29 PM EDT

[#27]

Within the un-Constitutional limits imposed on me by the ruling class here:

Browning HiPower - scratch that not approved!
Springfield 1903A
1941A Johnson carbine
Another 10/22... with ten round magazines...

Posted: 10/8/2001 3:15:27 PM EDT

[#28]

Got the AR,

A .45 1911 is next on the list.

Then a Benelli M1S90 to round out the battery.

Posted: 10/8/2001 3:27:40 PM EDT

[#29]

A barrett 82A1, and it would have to cost less than a 1/4 of my colletion.

Posted: 10/8/2001 3:28:29 PM EDT

[#30]

Colt m16 A-1. Hope to have in next few months as soon as I sell off my AR 15's...

Posted: 10/8/2001 3:30:17 PM EDT

[#31]

Frank: Why in the hell are M1 carbines illegal in NJ? Oh, wait...never mind I asked.

I would like:

-M60
-SR-25
-FA 1919
-Dakota Bolt action
-MP5K

I dream big....

Barrett M99 green with fluted barrel Barrett rings and putting a tasco Super sniper scope and M-60 Bipod on it still need to get the bipod with next check. Had $4,000. this morning now $.0 2-4 weeks delivery only scope I could afford for now. [sniper]
