I'd have to go with my WASR. Yeah, WASR's are junk AK's and all that. But it holds a special place in my heart.

My favorite? The first gun my father gave to me: A Remington model 12C .22 pump. I still have it 48 years later. It was 40 years old then. It still works perfectly. Just holding it brings back a lot of memories.
Another vote on the US M1 Garand as my favorite.
Mine is a total mixmaster, Springfield 1.1 million, manufactured in January 1943, so it more likely than not saw service in WWII. Was sold to teh Danes and rebuilt with a Var barrel. Bought it from CMP as a woodless literally the last weekend they were selling them from the North store
, and topped it all off is a Korean stock complete with rack markings.

Nostalgia Time - My First Shotgun
I learned to hunt with a Savage single shot 20 gauge, it had the dovetail lever which is almost impossible to find on single barreled break actions. I absolutely revered that gun and pulled off some amazing shots with it. When I "grew out of it" it was passed on to my brothers kids [against my will] and I never saw it again ... they probably lost it in a card game or traded it for joint [angry glare].
I'd pay quadruple what that gun is worth to have it back again but alas I shall never see it.

Have to love those Marlin 39A's!
Hands down, my all time favorite firearm is my Marlin Golden 39A. Mine is 1961 vintage and i inherited it when i was 10 so i've had it for 18 years now! It is my go to whenever i'm yearning for a companion at the shooting range or my trusted hunting partner when out small game hunting. Every time i take it out shooting i relive all the memories that we have together. The 39A is a fine piece of machinery and will outlive me i'm sure.

I have a lot of favorites, but this one was the first gun my dad gave me so it tops my list. It still has the finish 
I put on it when I was about 13. It belongs to my son now.
Marlin Model 80

My Winchester 94 Trapper (16in barrel with saddle ring) in .44 mag/,44 special. I bought it for myself as an 18th birthday present. It was the first gun I ever bought. I agree that a lever action carbine is about the perfect gun. I like the .44 mag in it, perfect for hogs, and you don't have to skin any rabbits you shoot with it. Small, dang little handy gun.
A close second is the Remington 7400 in .30-06 I inherited from my great grandfather when I was six or so (of course I didn't get to shoot it for a few years).

M1 Garand, hands down.
I remeber a guy asking me what my favorite gun was. I almost responded "Browning High Power" because I was enamored with the one I had just aquired. As I thought about though- knowing this fellow was a real "tool guy" I said "I don't know- what's your favorite tool?"
I guess the answer to both questions is "It depends on the situation". Learned that answer at Ft Benning a long time ago.

Remington 512 with Weaver G6 scope. First rifle I owned and still have. Got it as a gift from my Grandfather in 1948. Still looks near new and has at least 1,000 rds go thru it each year.

You know, I believe it's my little 5.5" SS Single-Six. It's a friendly, capable little gun.

Most cherished would be the Remmie 521T .22 Dad bought me as my first gun & his SxS 12 gauge (the fact that he used this one makes it invaluable!). Favorite would have to be a group:
Handguns - Model 57 Smith & Colt Python
Shotgun: A sweet 28 gauge Red Label
Long gun: TC G2 Carbine .204 Ruger (well, kinda long)
If I could only have one, I reckon I'd keep Dad's old SxS . . . but, I'm planning on keeping them ALL (plus mebbe 1 or 10 more . . . ).
