What is the last gun that you bought?

Norinco SKS "Paratrooper" carbine, today. Found it in a pawn shop in fair-to-good condition (some rust on the bolt top, some bluing wear on the gas tube above the barrel, and missing both the bayonet and the cleaning rod.) Everything about it looks pretty good, and the bore is practically gleaming. OTD for $290. Had been eyeing the Marlin 336W at Wal-Mart for $345 (followed by $50 Remington MIR), but got turned off by the store's lack of enthusiasm for the sale when I arrived on two different occasions within two hours of their cutoff time for gun sales.

Purpose was (is) to be a "knock-around" truck/Jeep rifle.
I bought one of those new in 93-94. I still have it. Loved the fact it takes standard ak-47 magazines.
 
A Pietta 1858 Remington New Model Army.
It's a CA 2018 Ammogeddon thing

In addition to the above CZ TS that I bought a couple months ago, I added the "retro" (correct) magwell to my Bren 805 and added a CZ 75 SA also

It's like I'm in a CZ craze or something! The TS being a factory competition gun compelled me to see what a regular 75 was like ... Not being a DA/SA fan, when I was shopping I came across the 75 SA and was sold ... I really like the flat trigger in the TS and seeing that on the SA I knew it was the one. Although it doesn't have the 2lb trigger & short reset the TS has, its closer to 5lb, still a little rough but it's kind of 1911-ish.

Husqvarna model 1970 (1900 commercial push feed action) with a beautiful heavy chunk of wood, blued, in .25-'06.

First pic is with the wood stock it came with (pronghorn & desert mulie format)

Second pic is same rifle in an MPI Ultra light stock (high alpine sheep & goat format) - the rifle weighs almost 2 pounds less with the latter stock.

Need a better scope at some point.

Bought a Ruger Blackhawk .357 with 4 5/8" barrel. Very pleased with the quality. I must have got an exceptional one. I'd post a pic but everybody here has seen plenty. Xmas is coming and I don't even know what gun I am going to buy just that a gun is what I want for a gift to myself.
 
In this order over the last 3 months or so. Talk about a slight addiction
1. Mossberg 46M (b)
2. Mossberg 151M
3. Mossberg 146B
4. Mossberg 144
 
Used CZ 75 PO 1 (version of the Compact): 9mm. This is my first handgun larger than the pair of E.G. Makarovs.

What a superb piece of engineering! And 14-rd. mag.
Nice ergonomics plus Mild recoil. And as a Lefty the mag and slide release are ok.

I bought a Kimber Micro .380. I haven't seen it yet, it is still in transit to my FFL. This is a picture taken by the vendor.

I am not much for "tacti-cool" but I liked the Desert Night colour combo when I saw it at a gunshow.
 
This one. Waterfowl runs from the beginning of September through the end of February, so we're pretty close almost inseparable

Not much to look at but mechanically sound. I was going to spray paint it camo, but then I ran into this website.

So I started thinkin maybe I should do it up. I really hate these Model 12s.

You're right. Those scratches and dings means something to somebody, I should preserve that. :)

Love those 16 gauge Model 12s. I know at least a half dozen people who were given Model 12s by their fathers, uncles or grandfathers, all of them were 16 gauges.
