The topic is rather self explanatory and I’ll start:


My favourite:

(Semi) Automatic pistols:

Bar none, the John Browning linage, my 1911 and Hi-Power

Wheel Guns:

Smith & Wesson territory, the 586/686 and no one’s day can be made without a Model 29

Shotguns:

Semi-Auto: Browning Auto-5
Pump: 870 Wingmaster (stay away from the Express models)

Rimfire:

Ruger 10/22 & SR-22 and Ruger Standard models

Bolt Action Rifles:

Lee Enfield No 4 various marks

I’d just purchased a Mauser K98 (Sniper model with Zeiss optics) that could give it a run for it’s money….TBD

Lever Action:

Winchester 94.……Is there anything else?

Pump Action:

Remington 760.…..Is there anything else?

Semi-Auto (Civilian):

Ruger Mini 14 and 30s

Semi-Auto (Military)

M1 Garand with the Russian SKS a close second


What I’d like:

Colt Python
Colt Peacemaker (original, not reproduction)
Colt/ArmaLite/Bushmaster AR-15
M2 Browning (If I retire in the States)
Swiss Arms Black Rifle

Hey, Shakyhands suggested the idea to get the technical aspects out of the political threads……I thought you decried political discussion threads that turn into jingoistic chest thumping of manufactures stats?

[DogOnPorch]

The Mini 14 and AK-47 (NATO) are the only weapons I've ever owned. I mean NEVER owned you government spies.

Well played, my friend and thank-you. Ah, my Sunday is made.

The Mini-14 s are great…….they throw spent casings as far as bullets……And about as accurate too!



As for Government Spies, over a third of my firearms are restricted anyways…….if a NDP Government looks to be taking power, that’s when I "sell" all my non-restricted (sans a few hunting rifles & shotguns) firearms

One pal has a special area in the bush where he buried the more pricy ones he owns that the government might steal. Grease n' all.

promise... will you enforce it? Seems to me, MLW has had the "Favourite Plane" thread forever... hasn't stopped the PorchDog (and friends) from continually flooding any and every thread with jingoistic military propaganda/paraphernalia/trivia/etc.

I owned a cap pistol when I was a kid. I don't know what model it was. It looked like this:

My mommy said I was allowed to have it...

I remember I liked my gun, but I don't play with them now.

I’m not a moderator and have little interest in rereading all 17 F-35 threads……..That said, when the political fencing turns into a discussion relating to the technical ways and means of a topic, one can expect thread drift.

Nice.

With that wee 10 pack you could start arming a small African nation...shhhhhhh. They could all wear berets and Che T-shirts. Classic stuff.
