What guns do you collect?

[tacdriver]

I had an O3 FFL for curios & relic, but I let it lapse last year

I laid them out as I was doing my serial number audit and my younger son said dad that would make a nice picture, so I agreed with him.

He wanted to take a pic of the stuff in the other safe but I told him the other safe is up to date...he was bummed out.

I'm just more of an accumullector, but I used to collect S&W 1904 4th change revolvers.

 

[Kentuckypilgrim]

My last 9 guns have been smiths. Six revolvers and three third generation semi-autos.

 

[Dj15802]

I'm not sure how it happened but I've acquired quite a few .22's in multiple platforms.

 

[jaybird_123]

My collection theme is guns that shoot when I pull the trigger.

Lol. Ya, I fall in love with every gun I see. I just cant afford to buy them.

 

[Shootin'IN]

The cheap guns, Mosin Nagant & AKs or they were before the panic.
Here are a few of the Mosin Nagant's family picture.

From bottom to top they are;
Polish M44 1953 yr
Hungarian M44 1954 yr
Hungarian M38 scout scoped
Russian 91/30 1943 yr
Russian 91/30 1943 Sniper P/U scope

I have a couple Mosin Nagants, love those fugly Russian Rifles.............

 

[drgnrobo]

I have a hard time passing up a 1911 deal especially Springfield Armory

 

[mike45]

I want two of every kind. When I get the call to build a gun ark, I'll be ready.

 

[Rollerman]

I don't think of myself as a collector, but I do have a thing for High Standard .22 pistols.

 

[Hillbillyblood]

Any I can get past the Wife

 

[SmokinSigs357]

9MM Sigs, which turned into 9MM handguns made in Germany with German proof marks, hence the addition of the Walther PPQ and the HK P30.

 

[inccwchris]

Ruger and Smith and Wesson revolvers.

Specifically Security Sixes.

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

I love collecting surplus bolt action rifles.
I plan on getting a MAS 36, Swiss K31, and a M1917 Eddystone.

 

[TheJoker]

I'm working on one rifle from every country in WWII. It is of special interest if it was made by a company that wasn't originally an arms manufacturer...say an IBM M1 Carbine or a Smith Corona 1903A3 or a Baldwin Locomotive Works M1917.

I'm also partial to S&W, Colt and Walther.

Started with an old Remington Rolling Block Egyptian military marked. That sparked my interest in military firearms and I decided to go with World War 1. Somehow that Evolved into "hey these Mausers are SO varied, I should get more" followed by "Wow Mosin-Nagant rifle sure has been in service for a while, I should get all the varieties" to "BUY ALL THE MILSURPS IN EXISTENCE".

So, now basically any military service firearm. My only restraint, self imposed, is nothing import-marked IF it can be avoided at all. So far, so good, never had trouble tracking down a bring-back, but it's getting harder with newer stuff.

So, if anyone has a cannon, you know who to run it by if you want to unload it!

This could be the mother of all boating accidents.

 

[Sgt7330]

USGI, but I seem to migrate back to Garands. 2 more since the this group pic

 

[littletommy]

My Ruger handguns are starting to add up, especially after the addition of my new SR1911! I'm a little behind in their selection of single action revolvers, but I'll get there.

I also have numerous Mosin Nagants, and several of the different varieties, oh hell, who am I kidding, I have way more of those than Rugers.

 

[geronimojoe85]

At one time I had a respectable collection of mil-surp rifles; Mausers, enfields, carcanos, etc. I've only ever had one mosin nagant though, I never really thought much of the design and they seemed like dime a dozen type truck guns.

Over the last few rough years I've sold most of that collection.

I'd say if I collect anything it's old top break revolvers and off designs that didn't catch on. Nothing super rare just odd, like Astra 400s, star super B, CZ 27, like I say nothing rare by any sense, just odd.
