Any you DON'T want?

[Hoop]

Guns I'm not interested in at all (Don't get me wrong, if given to me, I'd keep them long enough to sell them):

Muzzle loaders
Wheel guns
Ruger rimfires
Centerfires smaller than 9mm

The only guns that there is even a remote chance that I will specifically attempt to purchase in the next couple of years:

Kadet kit for CZ 75
Walther P99
CZ compact decocker

Everything else I would not specifically save or search for but if stumbled on for the right price (like my (former) Ruger P-89 with 2 hi-caps for $150), might be purchased for trade bait or maybe even kept if it was real fun to shoot.

 

[MagKnightX]

Any "modern" style muzzleloader. If I get a BP rifle, I want one that doesn't try to look like something else.

I wouldn't want to spend money on an AR-10, but if someone gave it to me, I'd probably keep it for a while and then sell it.

Any gun that is too small for my hands is off my list immediately. Also, SA revolvers are pretty much off.

I think that's it.

 

[Gewehr98]

"Give me your tired, your poor..."

Your Kahr K9's, your S&W Model 41 and 52 autoloaders, your C&R toggletop Lugers, 94-96-98 Mausers, turnbolt Mannlichers, Schmidt-Rubins, Lee-Enfields, U.S. Enfields, Krags, Springfields, Garands, your Norinco 1911's, Ruger 10/22's and #1's, Tikka 595's, and various John Moses Browning designs, for they may find shelter in my humble abode.

But there's no room at the inn for Grendels, Glocks, Kel-Tecs, Sigmas, or other such autoloading pistols constructed from the products of the oil well and refinery cracking tower. Same goes for the Remington 710, Benelli plastic shotguns, and the whole tactical plastical H&K family. Might be a CETME or HK-91/G3 in my future, once I make up or buy a batch of non-reloadable .308. But that SLB-2000 is just butt-ugly. (See John Moses Browning reference, above) And, since I qualify with a Beretta M9 (aka 92) each year, I've found another reason to be glad to retire in a couple years - I won't have to handle one anymore.

(That's probably gonna hurt Skunk's feelings, the bit about the H&K's, and Beretta)

 

[Matt G]

In line muzzle loaders don't do a thing for me.

Bolt action handguns like the XP-100 do nothing for me.

Full-sized derringers do nothing at all for me.

"Wannabe" guns, with fake suppressors (flash or sound), fake extended magazines, fake heat guards, fake selector switches, bayonet lugs, lasers, night scopes, etc... --they don't even begin to jingle my bells. Likewise non-firing replica guns.

I'm just not interested in hanging extra gadgets on a pistol. IPSC rigs, raceguns with ports and weights and glass and perhaps lights-- they do NOT inspire any interest in me.

But gimme a hard-working repeater pistol, a work of art tack-driving rifle, a rugged working warhorse rifle/carbine/pistol, a handy saddle or truck carbine, a reliable well-fitting shotgun, a lovingly-reproduced old-style muzzleloader, a fine target pistol or rifle, a fun rimfire, a beauty of a barbecue gun, a fine revolver, or a classic practical hunting rig, and watch my eyes light up. Truth be told, the ones I like or love are in the vast majority.

 

[556A2]

Springfield XDs (Just a Glock with a grip safety IMO)

"Tactical" 1911s

Non-chrome lined AR-15s

Rugers or Smith & Wesson (Unless used, politics only)

Anything under .50BMG with a muzzle brake (especially ARs)

.40 S&W

M14/M1A rifles

 

[Jeeper]

Desert Eagle!!!!!! If I ever own one please kill me with it.

 

[Ala Dan]

All those "el cheapo" handguns that have been talked
about for years, not only here; but over at TFL as well.
With that said, I'm like my friend 10-Ring as I'm not
much of a .40 caliber fan. Out of a SIG P229, Glock 23,
and Glock 27; the G-27 was by far and away the best!

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

 

[Shooter973]

Don't want!

I will never buy a firearm made in a Communist country!!!!! I was shot at by to many of them is years gone by. Just politics now I guess! Let the Commie Bastards starve!!!!!!

 

[jims98z28]

I would be hard pressed to sell any gun that was given to me for free, even if it became a safe queen. Unless is was a Beretta, I just don't like them.
Anything else I would keep unless I already had one or it was a real POS.

 

[762x51]

Glocks, S&W autos, Hi-points, Mini-14's, and muzzleloaders all do nothing for me.

 

[Majic]

Any Glock and all it's tupperware cousins
Any Sig (shot several and just was not impressed)
Any Kahr
any space age, light weight, new alloyed nothing
Any Ruger semi-auto (and yes throw their .22s in too)
Any Smith semi-auto (they started off right, but switched to using a brick as their design mold)
Any DAO semi-auto (build an idiot proof gun and better idiots emerge)
Anything with Tactical on it (no need in hanging everything including spare pair of pants off the front of firearms)
No handgun with ports (if it's that hard to controll get a weaker cartridge)
Desert Eagle (Monster pistol that's too picky with it's loads)

There are alot more but that's enough for now.

 

[goosegunner]

Any gun with "space-age-tecno-polymers"
any gun with unneccesary extras that can make my gun fail, exept a safety and maby a scope.
Any gun with a design younger than me.
Any military semi/full auto younger than 50 years
any gun without iron sights

 

[KRAUTGUNNER]

Guns I really HATE:

Ruger and S&W autopistols, Nagant-revolver M1895, all Taurus firearms, NORINCO guns, the FN Hi-Power, ALL french firearms ever made, the various Krag-Joergensen rifles, the Mannlicher-Carcano M1891 and M1938 rifles, the Ross rifle and the US M60 machine gun.

I'd NEVER keep one of THOSE!!!

 

[Futo Inu]

OMG - How could people NOT want: Sigs, CZs, AR-10s, Tommy Guns, certain Kel-Tecs, and cool old milsurps?!? Wow, different strokes indeed.

Category 1: What I would not buy, and would sell if given to me:

-ANY Ruger, due to politics (and esp. the Mini-14, due to design)
-ANY S&W, due to politics
-ANY .40 s&W, 9mm, or .45 Glocks, except the subcompact 40 (the M27). 10mms are good though. (reformed Glockaholic)
-Walther PPK, Sig 232, or any oversized-for-its-caliber small defensive pistol, as compared with more modern choices.
-ANY .25 "acp" gun.
-ANY double rifle or over-under shotgun costing more than $900 (i.e. pretty much anything but the EAAs)
-ANY hunting gun with a caliber over .375-.338 -ish. If I can't accomplish my task with this caliber or less with proper shot placement, I shouldn't be trying to shoot it. Alien invasions excepted, and of course everyone needs a .50BMG, but it's not a "hunting" gun.
-ANY French gun, due to politics.
-ANY derringer/mini-revolver (except for that one in .45-70, just for the "holy crap" factor)

Category 2: What I would not buy, but are somewhat interesting and would keep if given to me:

-ANY Revolver, except for Tauruses, .454 Casull/.45 LC, .44 Mag or .41 Mag. (dunno, I just like autos). A Taurus in .22 Hornet I WANT.
-The HK Soccom - anything that big needs a shoulder stock.
-AR15s (kinda neat since you have all those uppers options, but I perceive no need for one)
-Milsurps with 29" +- barrels - cool for collectibility, but cumbersome to shoot and handle. Might get one and cut it down a bit.
-Desert Eagles


Category 3: Things I want

-There ain't enough bandwidth...

more later....appt here..

 

[Nightcrawler]

AR-10s

How could I not want an AR-10? Easy. It's everything I don't like about the AR-15, except bigger and more expensive.

I'll pass, thanks. Give me a FAL any day. Or an M14, or a .308 Galil, or any other .308 Kalashnikov, or a G3, even...

 

[dandean316]

I'm suprised at the number of Glock comments here. I don't like them too, but I see their appeal to the cranially challenged. I had a polymer Kimber and I hated it so I swore off plastic guns forever.



In addition:
1) over unders. had to have the Ruger Red Label 12 ga. Nice gun, points and shoots great, just don't pheasant hunt enough to justify keeping. Sold to buy a reloader and made my money back.
2) small bore shotguns built on large frames
3) engraved shotguns
4) any autos not on the 1911 idea.
5) rifle calibers in a handgun
6) all the "new" cartridges Wasnt' the .475 doing the job? Was the .480 needed? .357 SIG? And a .45 GLOCK cartridge? What's the point?

But my least favorite is the gun a guy buys and hardly ever shoots. I know a guy who has $15,000 worth of guns and shoots less than 50 rounds a year. What a waste.

Maybe a waste in your eyes, but maybe an investment in the eyes of the owner. When my son was 5 or 6 he used to love holding my Python. So I went out and bought a like new Diamondback and put it away. When he turned 15 the Diamondback was his birthday present. He's 20 now, but the Diamondback only gets shot on special occasions, as he will grab something else to shoot any other time. Now that maybe a waste to you, but when he gets in his 40's like me that revolver will be worth a nice piece of change.

 

[Gator]

Any Chinese made firearm. I know some are very well made, the Norinco 1911 for example, but NO THANK YOU. The idea of owning what many consider to be a symbol of freedom that was manufactured by slave labor and/or by the Red Army just turns my stomach.

Don't get me started on American flags made in China!!!

 

[19112XS]

1. Any tupperware.
2. Any S&W Auto.
3. Any modern SA Revolver, old OK.
4. Anything engraved except Browning pistols.
5. Ruger (I'm sure they're fine just not my thing.)
6. El Cheapos.

Tam. With the .50BMG you drive to the range, set the target up, drive home, shoot the target. Repeat as desired. Also with a .50 BMG and a CCW you can park that little jewel anywhere you wish. Noone will say anything 'cept nice rifle M'am.

[Fed168]

Wallhanging firearms, cheap guns, unreliable guns, fancy dan new calibres that are the answer waiting for a question.
