Ok, you're limited to 6

[s&w 24]

centerfire rifle 1903 springfield sporter in either 358 hawk or 375
hawk\scovill with a striker mounted peep sight and a
tough 6X scope ( if I were traveling the world I'd tip my
hat to the 375)
rimfire rifle 1922 springfield sporter configured to match the
1903
shotgun fox model b dbl in 12 ga

revolver S&W 24 5" nickeled with kieth type sights and jordan grips
SLP 1903 colt 32 auto
rimfire pistol S&W 18 4" BBL nickeled with jordan grips


after 24 hrs. to ponder I might go with a 3" model 24 instead of a 5" because they just look cool. On the long guns if I could have another centerfire over a rimfire I'd take a 257 kimber chambered rifle made on a custom "short" 1903 action (cut,cut,weld, then tinker) and if I were going to get realy wild I'd make up a pedersen device for the 375 and replace the 1903 colt with a 1911 chambered for the 375 pederson round I cooked up ( something like a 200 gr 375 bullet a 1200 fps).

[vynx]

Hmmmm....I reserve the right to change my preference but if I had to choose in ten minutes here goes.

1. Remington 7600 pump in .30-06 lightweight, accurate, magazine fed, fast and .30-06 is common with a lot of variety in factory loads + milspec ammo availability.

2. Ruger 10/22 in .22 LR just so common so I could always get mag's and parts

3. Benelli SBE - 12 gauge cause it is reliable

4. Taurus titanium model 445sh2c .44 special snubnose - small & powerful & light & concealable.

5. Glock 22 in .40SW because it is so common and lightweight and reliable

6. Taurus model 941 in .22 magnum

Now what about second and third choices in each actegory?

 

[Boats]

Rifle: 1940 Walnut K-31 7.5x55mm Swiss. The least expensive rifle I have ever owned is also the most accurate and the only one I have ever had that has shot multiple sub-MOA five shot groups with iron sights.

Rimfire Rifle: Marlin 39A. Because it is better than a Ruger 10/22 and way better than a Daisy Red Ryder.

Shotgun: Mossberg 590A1 if I must, though I'd sooner have a second centerfire rifle.

Revolver: Ruger KGP-141 because it would likely last several more generations without going out of time.

Pistol: Colt Commander NRM. Like this needs much explanation?

Rimfire Handgun: Ruger SP-101 in .22cal

6 Guns

Lemme see...Wow. red-blooded Americans who are gonna let somebody else dictate what they are allowed to have. Interesting...

Hear that buzzin' sound? It's the signers of the Declaration of Independence spinnin' in the ground at 30,000 rpms.

In 1919, "they" said that nobody could drink beer. America drank beer anyway. Lots of it.

"They" told us that 55 mph was the national speed limit. Americans drove faster than that anyway.

"They" told us that hi-cap magazines were prohibited. Americans bought'em even if they didn't need'em.

"They" make veiled threats of ammunition limits. Americans immediately respond by buying more ammo than they'll shoot up in 5 years.

When "They" decide that we may only own 6 guns and X amount of ammunition...what'll we do? Carry on with the fine old American tradition that asks: "Who the hell are YOU to tell ME what I can and can't have?"
Or will we comply?

buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[MountainBear]

M-1 Garand, because I can and I like the platform and the caliber.
CZ 452 Luxe Already have one and its a tack driver.
Remington 870 I guess, its the most adaptable shotgun I can think of.

S&W 1911 Stainless It works well, looks good, and has never failed to work.
S&W .357 Mag. Pick your model old, new, whatever. Its a Smith .357.
S&W K-17 .22 LR I own it already. Its a great gun and will always work.

I guess the pistols look a little like I'm a Smith and Wesson homer, but I'm really not. I like them all, but I guess the Smith's are on my subconsious...

 

[hillbilly]

But the thing is, no, I am not limited to only six guns.

[grimjaw]

One centerfire rifle of any caliber.
Swiss K-31. If it's going to be my only centerfire rifle, I want something with reach, accuracy, ruggedness, and decent capacity (6+1). Only drawback are the sights, although scout scopes are available, and ammo availability.

One rimfire rifle.
I'm not sure on this one, but it would be semi-auto and box magazine fed, probably Marlin or Ruger, and .22LR.

One shotgun.
Remington 870 12 gauge, and I'm sure it won't be lonely.

One centerfire Revolver
Ruger GP100 Stainless .357 Magnum, 6" bbl half lug, with a little bit of Cylinder & Slide TLC. I've been very satisfied with the GP100, and prefer them in operation and maintenance to S&W.

One centerfire Pistol
Glock 19. Capacity, concealable, reliable, consistent, rugged, proven.

One rimfire pistol or revolver.
Ruger Single Six 9.5" bbl convertible .22LR/.22WMR, drilled and tapped. More fun than a barrel of monkeys.

[Keith Wheeler]

This is really tough for me, because a huge part of my love for firearms exists outside of those two categories (belt-feds and SMGs).

1) Galil or FN FAL
2) Ubiquitous Ruger 10/22
3) I've never owned a shottie; I understand the 870 fits my "style"
4) I've never owned a revolver, but I guess my grandfathers .44, because it was his
5) My CZ-75, early model, that gun has never let me down
6) Something semi-auto, stainless, and suppressed

[vynx]

Hey Ze.... that lever action .30-06 - is it a Browning BLR? Just wondering. I almost said the BLR in .308.

 

[heypete]

Long Guns:
Centerfire: Scoped Remington 700 in .30-06 or .308 (depending on what strikes my fancy). Simple, reliable, and durable. Easy to clean with basic cleaning agents. Simplicity of action = reliability and ease of maintenance. It projects a powerful shot to long distances. I was pondering my AR and M1 Garand, but maintenance, cleaning, and parts issues for both were a concern (specifically, the AR needs q-tips, pipe-cleaners, and other assorted small things to keep in good working order. The M1 requires grease as well as oil to keep running smoothly. Both require tools to effectively disassemble, maintain, and reassemble. Both also require magazines or clips, which can be damaged, lost, or confiscated.).

I'm still quite fond of the AR and M1, and generally prefer using either of them above the Rem 700 for fun at the range, but for real-world practical use over the years, the Rem 700 wins out due to its simplicity.

Oh, yeah, left-handed if possible...otherwise I'd stick with the bought-used right-handed one I have now.

Rimfire: Scoped CZ-452 American Left-Handed. This rifle has stunning lines, is extremely accurate, simple to maintain, and can be used with or without magazines as the situation requires. It'd be threaded for the Gem-Tech Outback II suppressor I have coming (ATF's being slow), so it could be used discretely for various purposes.

Shotgun: Mossberg 500. It's mechanically simple, reliable, and durable. It can handle shotshells of varying lengths and power, is a breeze to clean, and is more than suitable for my anticipated purposes (though having some longer, choked barrels might be useful for hunting...the 20" cylinder bore barrel on it now is ok for closer range stuff).

Handguns:

Rimfire: Ruger MkII or MkIII 22/45. Mechanically simple (I don't see what the hassle is with people disassembling and reassembling them...I find them to be quite easy indeed, but maybe that's me) and reliable. Threaded for suppressor the CZ-452 above would have. The heavy-barreled versions are quite accurate indeed, and the 22/45 controls are simple and easy to use for lefties. Magazines are an issue, but presumably one could re-stock them.

Revolver: I have limited knowledge on revolvers and don't own any. Still, I'd imagine a mid-sized revolver (no greater than 6" barrel) by Colt, Ruger, S&W, Taurus, or any of the other major manufacturers would be quite suitable indeed. Chambered in .357 Mag to take advantage of that caliber, as well as .38 Specials.

Centerfire: Glock 19. Although I'm a big fan of the XD-45, the fact that Springfield doesn't sell replacement parts could be an issue. Also, the XD requires tools for detail-stripping while the Glock 19 requires nothing more than a pencil, a round of .223, or something else that's thin enough to drive out pins with. 9mm ammo is cheap, plentiful, and available in a variety of configurations. The Glock is freakishly reliable, durable, rugged, and more than acceptably accurate for my purposes. It is trivially field-stripped, and detail-stripping requires only a few more minutes. I've owned one for years (before selling it [it was registered to me when I bought it in California -- now that I'm in Arizona, I don't want any registered guns] to get some money to pay bills and buy the XD-45) and am quite familiar with its care and feeding. It fits quite naturally in my hand and puts bullets where I want.

.....

Of course, the fact that I'm being forced to choose only six is terrible.
