Bucket List Gun/Caliber

[drm-hp]

This would do just fine!

1874 Sharps, 44-90
1886 Winchester, 40-82
1905 Colt, 45 acp

 

[DgTech]

HK MP5
Thompson sub

 

[drysdaleg88]

Anything in 50bmg

I have often thought about a Colt Mustang because Dad had one. But I just haven't talked myself into stocking .380. I have also thought about a 1911 in .38 super, but once again... more new ammo for the caliber.

 

[krvincen]

I have always wanted a Bren Ten

 

[BugI02]

I like the looks of the 1911, but personally, a 1911 in .22 is like a 2 wheel drive Jeep. Not really a Jeep (1911), that being said, if I came across a good deal on a 1911 .22, I probably would still pick one up.

The little 80% one Browning makes is kind of cool but way too pricey for dedicated 22

You should reload for it, anyway. The original was developed to punch through the body armor of its day and was 130 gr pushed at 1300fps. The only way to get that is to load it yourself

Second the HK MP5
Les Baer in 38 super, preferably a comanche, as well as 10mm (Premier II 5")
SBR in 357 sig (because I can, at least so far)
Venezuelan contract FN 49 in 7 x 57

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Greek Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903/14. I have a box of ammo for it already... just in case.

Really, any variation on this site:

Or step up to the 10mm Underwood 135 grain at 1600 fps. May not punch through armor, but it's gonna leave a bruise!

I have this pistol. And yes, it's too much $$ for what it is. But I tried my friend's suppressor on it, and now I gotta have one.

[STAG556]

Original Colt Python, Coonan 1911 in .357 magnum and a lever gun in 45-90. Those are the only two bucket list guns. The rest are just wantsies

You can find one on gunbroker for the small sum of of like $25K

 

[bobjones223]

STILL waiting to shoot my first PHOTON BLASTER!!!

 

[STAG556]

I don't know if it's a bucket list item yet or not but that lever action chambered in 500 S&W has my ears perked

 

[Cheeki Breeki]

AKS-74U In 5.45x39mm of course.

Finally acquired an AKS-74 after years of searching, and I’ve got to say this is my favorite caliber to shoot hands down. I was ever so late to the master race, but I’m here to stay.

 

[Mongo59]

I have a 10mm, 38 super, and 22lr on my want list. Didnt know they have them in 44mag, 45wm, and 50. Guess I'm not halfway...

The 38 super is a great round to shoot. When it came out it was the most powerful pistol round for about 12.5 seconds.

To me, the only hold back is a lack of different projectile offerings which I am about to resolve tomorrow with a loader...

I think that's 3..

38 super was developed in the late 20s. 10mm in 1983. Like saying they should have put 30mm GAUs in P51s

 

[peterock]

I would like to acquire the NFA guns from the action movies I grew up with so a full auto MP5 and a FA Uzi.

And so it goes. Take on from the top of the list and buy it, add one or more new entries to the bottom of the list
