    They're not that unusual or rare, but probably my Polish P83 in 9mm Mak.

    It's one of the later, and in my opinion better variants of the Mak design. The DA/SA trigger is nice, and the heel mag release is a nice rocker switch instead of the stiff, bent sheet metal of the regular Mak. Almost the ENTIRE gun is made of sheet metal. The slide is two pieces of stamped sheet metal nested inside each other, and the frame is two pieces of sheet metal welded together. You can see the seams and the welds of how it's built.

    They were super cheap several years ago but then went extinct on the primary market.
    Any chance you have lost interest in it? Asking for a friend...

    Not really rare or unique. But I have one of the first AR15s that Wilson Combat made.
    What made this one a little more unique is it was Bill Wilson's personal gun. I have paper work and I confirmed it personally though a call to WC.

    Model 1819 Hall Breech-Loading Rifle. It was not entirely successful due to gas leakage at the breech, but the efforts of John Hall to perfect precision production methods at Harper's Ferry would pave the way for interchangeable parts down the road. The breech block is hinged at the rear and tips up at the forward end. Mine was converted from the original flintlock to percussion.

    No.1 Ruger Bicentennial Model
    300 Winchester Magnum heavy barrel stamped "Varmit Special"
    Bought it for my High School Graduation present to myself in 1976.
    Must have had some really big varmints back then.
