What is your most prized gun?

I like all of them at some point, but ultimately they are just guns and are meant to be used. I am not a collector by any means--if I don't use something, or if I have something redundant, I wind up selling it.

I do have one that is sentimental to me, though: As a wedding present, my wife got me a Saiga 7.62x39, which I have since "converted". I still need to get some wooden furiture for it, but I love that thing. I would definitely say it is my "most prized"

I did have a S&W model 36 (P&R) that I was really attached to, but I sold it so I could buy my first 1911. Which I am also attached to, but not so much since I haven't even shot it yet :)

My 1918 U.S. Property Colt 1911. It was refinished sometime in the 90's, but I got it for a song and it is my most accurate handgun.
 
I have a few

1. A Winchester 52B purchased by my brother in 1948 and was the first firearm I shot.
2. An orginal Sharps Calvery Carbine
3 & 4. Custom Muzzleloaders assembles from parts from various suppliers not kits, 1 a percussion Hawkin, the other a flint Tenn. Poor Boy.
 
It's too hard to choose just one but these two certainly are prized to me.

1926 A.H. Fox Sterlingworth......Still attracts game birds like a magnet to steel!

M1 Garand.....Can't say anymore than Patton did.

1949 Remington 512. Had it since new, 1st firearm and it has sentimental value placing its value to me well above pieces I have that cost what a car did back then.
 
A Remington Model 788 with a nice piece of wood and a trigger job. I wish I could say my Kimber Longmaster Classic, but everything is wrong with that gun including the price.
 
Just before I left college for the army in 1966, I got "caught" with a mint matching C96 boomhandle rig.
It was a gift from the vet who brought it home.
At that time they were illegal with the stock.
I was "allowed" to surrender it with paperwork, but no arrrest.
Today they are legal-I want it back!
