Which Gun Are You Proudest To Own ?

Well I would have to substitute "of" for "to own" but my 1936 M70 30-06 hands down. I restocked it from a blank 20 years ago, spent 9 months on the job, checkering, beaded cheek piece, curved steel but plate and all. I don't know if I will ever have that kind of Patience again-last gun I stocked.

AR15.

My a.h. Fox sterlingworth given to me by my grandfather when i was 15 and my dads mod. 37 winchester and my fox mod. B just for starters.

I have a like new model 19 that I bought for my Dad about 35 years ago. I got it back when he passed away about 4 years ago. I am mighty proud of it.

My proudest friearm to own is a 1911 from 1943. Received it from my grandfather and will be passed down throughout the family.

I always wanted an 8 shot .357 since I found out about them in the mid 80s. Way out of my range at the time and I had other priorities like cars, babes and motorcycles.

But I finally got that 8 shooter, and even cooler one that I wanted, a S&W M327 R8 M&P .357 Scandium Aluminum, and tacticool.

Really tough call. As a history geek I have to go w/ my 1939 K98k Mauser made by Sauer & Son in Suhl Germany. She wasn't captured til 45'. The last inch of the bore is destroyed from frantic cleaning w/ out a guard, or simply the vast # of rounds she has swallowed- but I can't bring myself to change it. A lot of history there; she speaks to me when I hold her. She speaks of the courage and fear, the valor and sorrow, of the young men who held her long before me.

I used to have a Daisy 880 bb/pellet gun. It was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, able to kill big game such as birds and squirrels. Sadly, it is in gun heaven, but will forever live on in my heart.

My Grandfather's Marlin 336 and it's a 1948 RC model.

He gave it to me a few years ago, the same year he passed away from cancer It was his deer rifle for many decades.

He was a proud Marine who served in the Pacific during WW2 and survived the battle of Okinawa. He was a good man.

I am proud of my 200 plus guns. All of them.

I suppose it's my Dad's Sears 12 ga pump he used for turkey shoots. He didn't hunt, or fish, or care much about guns, but he enjoyed going to the local fire dept turkey shoots on Friday night. Won more than his share. It's also the gun my wife was hunting with the day she suffered a near fatal ruptured aneurysm in her brain. By the grace of God she survived and plans to return to hunting in a couple of weeks.



Then this is the one of my own that I've had the longest. Got it back in 77 or 78 I guess. Every deer I ever killed but one I killed with this gun. It's a Sears/Mossberg pump 12 ga.



Between the two of them, they're not worth much more than what it would cost to buy a weeks groceries, but I guess I'll keep them.

There`s 2 for me. Both Shotguns.
For my 10th birthday, my Dad gave me a Beautiful little .410 single. All the metalwork, (barrel, reciever, buttplate, foregrip hardware) was chrome and the woodwork was high gloss black enamalled.
Then for my 16th birthday, I recieved a 12ga O/U Lanber. Walnut stock, Deep blueing on the barrel, engraved reciever with gold inlay. A labrador gun dog on the Right and a brace of pheasants on the wing on the left. and an inscription from dad. It was my 30th on the 5th and I still have both of these guns.

I have many favorites but if I had to select just one, it would be my Thompson Center Icon in 308. It is perfect.

1) The 1884 Colt Lightning my great-grandfather carried as a lawman.

2) The Wilson CQB I carry on duty.

It's a toss up.

Either the Belgian Browning Sweet Sixteen I received from my grandfather, or the Dan Wesson .357 Magnum Revolver I got from Dad. Love them both.

I'm proudes of the Kimber Tactical Pro II bought used for a fantastic deal. It's not inherited, but any one of my ancestors would be proud of the steal I got it for!

Mine is my handed down Winchester 1300 nothing fancy but my grandpa loved and now so do I.

My very old Ruger 45 Colt. Been a long time friend

My 1939 Turkish Mauser. Simply because of what it is.

I would have to say all of them. All of the guns I have and all of the guns that each of you have.

I am proud to be an American who can own as many guns as I want and that I have the freedom to pass that along to other Americans.

A freedom that is a RIGHT.

I would have to go with my Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308, this thing is awesome, it will easily shoot 1.5" groups at 200 yards.

My 1873 Winchester, made in 1889, that still works great and shoots accurately.

I get a lot of attention with it at the range, and I just love the fact that a gun that old, 110 years, works so well.

The gun which I have the most pride in is a '42 Lithgow .303 given to me by a long dead relative.

It ain't pretty, it ain't cute, it ain't supposed to be.

It was mass produced at the Small Arms Factory at Lithgow at about the same time men with identical rifles were teaching the Imperial Japanese Army a serve lesson in manners.

My 03A3, and my M1A.

My father in law's 30 carbine that he carried when he fought on Iwo Jima. He earned the Bronze Star during the invasion and the fact he was carrying this weapon while doing it makes it very special to me. I've already promised my son he would be the next to own this keepsake.
