Prettiest gun?

[ed dixon]

Forget shooters, last-ditch survival and smartest design -- what makes you smile just to look at it? Winchester '94 here.

 

[Harbinger]

First gen. Colt SAA.

 

[joab]

Toss up between a Thompson and a coach gun

 

[cracked butt]

Custom Mauser dangerous game rifles.

 

[MeekandMild]

Tossup between a Marlin 1895 and a Ruger Super Blackhawk.

 

[4v50 Gary]

Long rifle.

 

[shep854]

S&W 10, 4", thin barrel is one of the most graceful guns ever made

What shep854 said.

I finally bought a 4" 10-5 a few months ago. Sometimes I just take it out and set it down in front of me so my eyes can gaze upon its beauty.

[WhiteKnight]

Pretty much any bolt action.

 

[angrywalkindude]

Winchester 94 Abraham Lincoln commemorative.

 

[Unisaw]

5-1/2" bbl. S&W Model 41 made in the 1970s. Compared to all of my other guns, it's a work of art.

 

[gwitness]

easy.....My Ruger Vaquero, 5-1/2" barrel, polished stainless, ivory grips, in 45 LC.

 

[Dienekes]

4" Colt 3rd variation Woodsman Match Target . I have been enchanged by these starting around 1959 and haven't done anything about it yet.

Audrey Hepburn may be gone but if she had been a gun she would have been this one--elegance personified.

A '57 T-Bird would fit right in here, too.

...I really feel sorry for anyone born too late to appreciate those.

 

[gulogulo1970]

Colt Python, Blue, 4" barrel, beautifully balanced lines, flats and curves.

 

[Majic]

One of the great old side x sides from the days gone by.

 

[gazpacho]

Colt 1861 Army

 

[TrapperReady]

Im especially fond of Winchester Model 12s.

 

[Dionysusigma]

The M3 Grease Gun and/or Sten for their beautiful simplicity, but for craftsmanship...

...and others. I'm more of an EBR fan, so bullpups catch my interest as well.

 

[hksw]

Freedom Arms Model 83 Premier.

 

[Zach S]

Thompson. When I got mine, I would prop it up in front of me and just stare at it. I still do, on occasion.

 

[atek3]

24k gold desert eagle...oh wait i thought this was the ugliest gun thread.

[Ashendale]

any Colt 1911 U.S.G.I. WWI
also Colt commercials during the same time period

 

[thumbtack]

For me it is the M1A.

 

[Bigjake]

hmm ..... the M1 Garand

 

[Third_Rail]

A hard question to answer, one that required quite a bit of thought... but after thinking for about 5 minutes, my answer is...


A well made FAL with wooden furniture.
