Always on the lookout for a _________.

All matching Beretta Garand.

BM59/62/69 don't really do it for me but I have never been able to shake the odd attraction to a pristine, white-lettered Beretta Garand.

Todd.

I have gathered pretty much all of the ones that have interested me. Only one I haven’t come across yet is the Beeman imported/KricoModel 340 ST Kricotronic.

Not holding my breath though Beeman was the exclusive importer for the two years they did and Robert Beeman told me they only imported maybe 10 of them, though he could have been talking about the more rare centerfire ones.

I then went to the mfg. and confirmed the same. I did find it interesting that they contacted Remington among others and no deal was made, then they designed and built their failed EtronX rifles that required special primers/ammunition.

“Dear Morris,

there was only a small number of this rifles built in the early 80th.
As KRICO was not strong enough to penetrate the UIT-Match rifle business we stopped the project.
In the mean time we offered our know how to REMINGTON, ANSCHÜTZ, WALTHER and more companies in this business, but these are to conservative to see the advantages of this firing system.
We are still looking for a potential partner.

Meh, Ive got nearly everything Ive ever really sought out. Still always keeping my eyes out for poor, neglected old rimfires in need of saving.

3"-3.5" K or N frame smiths, though I don't have a single one.
SMLE that headspaces properly, though I don't own a single one
SMLE that's been sporterized, that headspaces properly, though I don't own a single one
SW40F that's so cheap I can't say no, though I don't own a single one
4 5/8" 3-screw blackhawks (or whatever that length actually is for Rugers), though I don't own a single one
Ruger MKI, MKII, or MKIII grip frames/lowers for less than the cost of a complete pistol
Replica 1849 not made by Uberti, with 5 or 6" barrel, though I don't have a single one.
Remington 1875 or 1890 replicas, though I don't have a single one.
S&W Schofield or Number 3 replicas, though I don't have a single one.
1860 Army replica with fluted cylinder though I don't have a single one.

An all steel S&W 39.

An affordable Flintlock long rifle with a decent grained maple stock.

Always on the look out for an affordable colt 1903 or Savage 1907. Finances and opportunity have never quite crossed paths for that purchase. Those are the only two guns that could get me into .32acp

Top 5, in no particular order:

1) Colt SAA (or a reasonable facsimile of), in .45 Colt and with a 4 5/8" barrel.
2) Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless.
3) Colt New Frontier .22 in .22LR/.22 Magnum with a 4 3/8" barrel.
4) Colt Gold Cup National Match in 9mm.
5) Colt Gold Cup in .38 Super.

Hmmm, I sensing there's some sort of trend here but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Pre 64 Model 94's in great condition.....

Hi...
Always looking for another Dan Wesson revolver particularly in .41Magnum or .414SuperMag.
Looking for a Virginian Dragoon in .45Colt...had a chance to buy one some years ago and didn't pull the trigger. Regret that decision.
Looking for a nice lever action rifle in .41Magnum.
Always interested in a Sako rifle with a nice wooden stock...have a couple, would like to have a couple more. Never find a nice one when I have money to spend on such things.

Lately I have to developed a "need" for a Quigley style rifle in .45/70. Don't know why...have no real "need" for one, but I would like to have one for range use and to play with a new to me caliber.

Also interested in a nickel plated SAA clone with a 7-1/2" barrel in .44Special or .45Colt.
Been looking for a while now but can't seem to be able to find one and no local shop is taking orders for firearms that they can't guarantee they can get.

Rem Model 7's.

I love the action, same mag length as the 700 SA, but 1/2" shorter, with a larger loading port. I've got 3, one of which is out being re-barreled now. Would love to find a beater that I could customize.

Always on the lookout for a _________.
Deal. ,I have bought or been gifted a variety of arms I would never have looked for but they were cheap or free so now they live in the menagerie!

For me the _____ is generally a good deal on more mags, especially the more pricey ones. Managed to get most of my EDC X9 mags for about half price, which was nice considering they are normally $40+ each.

Probably precious few magazine sales in the near future though.

An M1A. Trained on the M-14 in BCT in 1967, first CF rifle I ever fired. My idea of a battle rifle.
An S&W 5 screw M&P. My idea of a classic revolver.

My M1A is a fine hunting rifle as well, a bit heavy for long walking days but mine is accurate and very comfortable to shoot all day long.

I’m always on the lookout for:
1. Pre-64 Win 94s
2. Savage 24s
3. Pre-lock Smith & Wessons particularly J and N frames.
4. Colt Woodsmen

Of course, if the price is not right I’ll pass it up but the hunt is part of the fun.

For $70 SKS's and mosin's.

I have several Colt Government models and variants. My carry pistol is a Colt (LW) Commander in .45 ACP.

What I really would like is a commercial, pre 70 series Government Model - preferably made prior to WW2 - with a factory nickel finish in good shape. At a price I could 'reasonably afford'. (Not selling the house.)

And I'm always looking for complete, unrusted WW1 rifles.

If I were rich....either an FN49 or a Winchester 1895. Both in x54r

Nothing special but I’ve been looking for a long time for a nice blued Rossi lever-action in .357mag with a 16” barrel.
Found and bought one yesterday in near-new condition at a very reasonable price. And this was at a crappy little gun show where most everything else was ridiculously priced. Which just goes to show that you never know when lightning will strike.

I have one of those, it’s a great little gun. Congrats on your find .
(It’s here with its 16” brethren in .45 Colt and a Win 94 in .44)



I’m always looking for, but never finding ones I can reasonably afford, a DW .32 H&R and/or a 4” S&W model 57 .41.

Oh, and maybe a Rem 1100 in 28 gauge .

Stay safe.

Lately?
