If you had free ammo what gun would get.

[Brian Williams]

One of the reasons I like Revolvers and Bolt actions is I do not have to run around to gather my brass after a shooting session so I can reload it, So...


If you had unlimited ammo supply what gun(s) would you have. Lets leave out full auto or class III devices. , but what would you get

My short list would be a
good Milspec 1911
a Blued BHP
a short and lightweight AR
M1 carbine

 

[GigaBuist]

- a 1911 pattern 10mm
- Something in .50BMG... maybe a low-end Barrett.
- That .400 Corbon barrel for my G21 would look more sensible.
- A 37mm launcher would be more sensible too if it was free to feed.

 

[RustyHammer]

.50 Cal ..

 

[McNutt]

A really good .45 1911. I could shoot that all day, but a bigger gun might leave me sore too quickly.

 

[Citadel99]

I'd be itchin' for a FN FiveseveN.

[Brian Williams]

Just got back from a short range session with my daughter Gus dddysgrl and we were shooting my S&W 13 and 35, 357 and 22lr, They would be 2 more calibers I would shoot a lot if it were for free....

 

[R.H. Lee]

Ditto on the .50, can't decide on bolt action or semi auto, though.
Also:
M1 Garand NM
Some high end tack driver .308, maybe a PSS?

 

[mainmech48]

Since you stipulated-out most of the really fascinating and exotic stuff that we Proles are debarred from satisfying our curiousity about by law and/or economics, most of my personal list is pretty much renderred moot.

Lacking ANYWHERE within a couple of day's drive with enough open space to even begin exploring its forte of long-range accuracy, anything in .50 BMG would be an exercise in frustration for me.

The FN five-seven would be a thought, but sorta low on the scale in my Personal Gee-Whiz Meter in terms of Walter Mitty charm.

On the other hand, there's plenty of Mitty in the various "African" calibers from the beginning of the last century. Unfortunately, I lack the level of masochism I'd need to get much more out of shooting them than permanent physical damage.

Now if we could get into something like a Thompson or an MG42.......

 

[Rockrivr1]

I'd also have to chime in on the 50 Cal. I have a Serbu BFG-50 that I LOVE taking to the range but can only do so sparingly. Being in Massachusetts it's near impossible to buy ammo on-line, so I have to spring for gun show and local reseller prices which average about $2 a round for surplus.

Can you say PROFIT!!!!!

 

[BamBam-31]

K-31

 

[Jick42]

This...........................

Mechem NTW 20mm Rifle

 

[DMK]

Swiss K-31: I always wanted one, but worry that ammo may be difficult to buy years down the road.

One of the AK varients in 5.56x39: Seems like a fun and effective caliber but I just can't justify stocking up on it and 7.62x39 and 5.56x45.

 

[Black Majik]

Accuracy International AWP .50

 

[esheato]

A good high-quality O/U of the Browning persuasion in .410.

Practically cost prohibitive to buy factory new and a darn PITA to reload. I'd gladly take all the free .410 in 9 shot that I could find storage for.

[Poodleshooter]

That's probably the only scenario in which I would buy a rifle chambered in .50BMG or any wildcat cartridge.
Maybe a 24 gauge or 32 gauge double, just to say I had one.
.700 Nitro?
A Henry in .44 rimfire?

 

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

155 mm M198 Towed Howitzer.

If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

A Levergun in .45 Colt

[5ptdeerhunter]

If I can get a gun in any caliber and not have to worry about ammo prices I would get something in .22lr.

Just joking

I would probably get something in .50bmg or maybe something I could actually use like a NEF 45/70.

 

[gbran]

Four Bore or 600 nitro

I could shoot these all day long everyday if the ammo was free. Maybe I could get one of those 500 S&W Scandim revolvers too.

All joking aside, I'd probably get me a varmint gun in 22-250 or maybe one of the new Ruger 204's.

 

[Penforhire]

Oh yeah, .50's for sure. Both BMG long rifle and AE Desert Eagle. Next on the list would be some accurate hunting rifle (7 mm Sako? maybe a new WSSM Magnum?).

 

[AZLibertarian]

If you had free ammo what gun would get

Um...How about one of each?

Seriously, I guess I'd go with the 50. Although the upfront cost for a gun/scope is pretty steep in itself (and Mrs. AZLib wouldn't approve of such a large dent in our budget. )

 

[HABU]

A 30-378. $85 a box!
