Most Beautiful Firearm

[McCall911]

I guess I'm just one of those stick-in-the-mud traditionalists.

Lon Paul custom in 10.75x68 caliber:

 

[Gas Operated]

I vote for the S&W Model 27

 

[revjen45]

Artillery Luger or any German Doppelbuchse Drilling.

 

[jad0110]

IMHO, S&W wheel guns (esp K-Frames) and 1911s

 

[Funderb]

that chopped mosin is a disgrace to the entire russian population during wwII.

 

[Flame Red]

There are so many and so many cool ones in this thread. This is my favorite.

+1 on Glocks and AKs. Especially with a bakalite magazine. I'm always taken aback at how often they're called ugly.

THE ONLY ORIGINAL BAD BOY OE BIGGEST BADDEST ICON

Holland and Holland.
Nothing beats a $100,000 shotgun

Flintlocks

It's hard to beat some of the beautiful work done on custom flintlocks.

 

[Auburn1992]

 

[Medusa]

Maybe not the prettiest, but it has some elegance.



Or something more classic - a beautiful symbios of wood and metal.

Or true classic. I kind of like the clean lines and good engineering.

NC76, what is that revolver carbine?

 

[raveneap]

My favorite is the Colt 1851 Navy for pure elegance in design and function. But I doubt I'll ever have an original. That said, the SW wheelguns are my favorites that I do have.

I was gonna post a pic of the aero, but I think the swede beat me to it. That GAU-8 is just one beautiful piece of engineering.

The most beautiful, my Dad's Model 10 (RIP):



2nd most, my Grand-dads Stephens .22 which I handed down to my Nephew's son just last month:


3rd most, these I got from my good friend Dr. Sam Hutchison (RIP):
F.I.E Titan II .380

and an AMT AutoMag III in 9mm WinMag (9x29)



These I will always keep and treasure until they get handed down to those who will care for them and appreciate them as much as I do.

Hero Dog.

You win

I dont compete with someone who lost a loved one.

 

[herohog]

It's not a competition man, it's a parade. It's for us all to enjoy. Keep posting them guys and gals!

 

[martinc64]

not mine....have no pic of mine

 

[ColinthePilot]

I love anything with "M1" at the beginning, to include Garand, M1A/M14, and Carbine, in that order.

 

[Coastie2010]

I vote for the Navy Luger. Has a slightly shorter barrel than the Artillery Luger, which I always thought was excessive. Navy Model looked just about right.

 

[Claude Clay]

older i get the younger they look

 

[boredelmo]

Neato, whats this?

 

[Hunter0924]

A few I believe should be in the running.

 

[mgregg85]

I always liked the engraving on this little piece.

Form and function.
