What do you realisticly think you someday would like to aquire for your collection? I always have a running list in my head.  I modify it constantly, usually when some gun rag writes an article on something. Some I know I can't afford now, but realisticly I know that someday I might own one.  I sometimes cheat myself by buying something similar, but cheaper; for instance, I would love an M1A, but just bought a Cetme(both .308 battle rifles).  

Here is my top 10 "current" want list:
Spingfield M1A
Martini actioned rifle in .219 Donaldson Wasp
Rem870 tactical shotgun
Kimber 1911 .45
Ruger MKII Gov.
French 49/56
Ruger No.1 in .404 Jeffery
Rossi pump .22mag with octogon barrel
Ak-74 varient-SAR 2
1861-2 cartridge conversion revolver

I know it is a kind of eclectic list, but so is my collection; little bit of everything.  What is it you dream of owning?

Edited to add: If you already own all of these, and I know some of you probably do, please don't tell me, I will only want to make little paper targets with your name on them!

My complete list would take too much bandwidth, but here's a start.

1. M1 Garand (likely soon)
2. M1A (within a year or two)
3. HK91
4. Semi BAR
5. .38 Super STI Limited
6. .38 Super STI Open
7. M1 Carbine
8. Bolt Gun in a Magnum Caliber
9. Rifle, Shotgun and Pistols for SASS (Cowboy)
10. HK93

I dunno ... it changes day to day.

Ain't that the truth. I have purchased two rifles recently that were not on my wishlist the last time this thread came around. I keep my wish list fluid and adaptable.




At the moment, I'm looking forward to getting a SAR-2 to do the full AK-74 treatment on.



I wouldn't wait very long to do it. The SAR 2s won't last forever and the gettin's good right now as far as mags and ammo go.

We All Know I Am Cheap, so my list is short:

1) Another .38 snubby, voted the firearm Most Likely To Be On My Person When The SHTF, preferably a hammerless airweight.

2) 2 more Post-Ban 16" Barrelled AR's in .223 with Y-comp Muzzle brakes and decent (not sniper, just battle) accuracy characteristics

3) Remington 870, preferably Wilson Combat in either 18" or 20" (Not picky) with extended magazine.

4) 1911A1 pattern pistol of decent quality in .45acp that takes colt parts (Thinking RIA, any thoughts?)

5) Any bolt-action rifle made by Holland & Holland (As if I could AFFORD something like that) in .30-06 or heavier.

6) A Glock 17 with a few hi-caps


And finally, the firearm I've always wanted but probably won't be able to afford until I am very very old:

7) A 1928 Thompson Submachine Gun (NFA Transferable) in at LEAST shootable condition, so that I might own a tiny piece of history.

That's it.  Everything else is just something I'd like to have at the moment...could come and go at anytime.

I love this, so many people want so many weapons that I have including M1 Garands (Gots lots of theses ) M1 carbines, 03A3s, heck, even my 'ol .455 Webley, though I really need another cylinder for it so I can chop that one to accept .45 auto in clips.

What I want? More M1s, More Carbines

But mainly, A nice AR, all one manufacturer, a good manufacturer, colt, bushy, Rock river. (And C-Mags)
Dual CZ 85s two tone
A Glock, I really want a Glock

But my top 2, I want an M16 and an M14, all original, Full Auto, and cases if ammo, a nice round number of cases, 100 maybe
Everythign I want is low ticket it seems, except the M14, I have heard there are not many of them at all  and a '16 is about $5K right?  I need a better job
