What is the last gun that you bought?

One week ago (Feb. 23rd) I found a Uberti repro of a Remington 1875 revolver at a local gun store. It has a 5.5" barrel, color case hardened frame, it's in .45 Colt. It's used but in good condition with very minor scratches orbiting the cylinder. I have been looking for this model for a year and a half. I already have one nickel plated with 7.5" barrel. Quest fulfilled!!!!! :D:thumbup:

EDIT: I just saw Usonia3's post #11473 above. Verrrry nice! Mine is very similar except mine has a short barrel.

Nice gun Usonia3!!
 
#2 sister calls me. Her and her husband want a gun. Told her good luck because this is not the time to be gun shopping. Yesterday I visit a friends gun shop and there is an old good condition S&W M&P 38 Special, pre Model 10 gun. I ask Jimmy (owner) how much out the door? Mechanically sound, imitation stag grips not quite pretty but not ugly. We could call it a "house" gun and let it go at that. $300 and I said sold. I was going to loan my sister my really nice little Model 10 2" snubby but this solves that problem.

While hanging out an older gent (hell at 71 I am not young) comes in with a S&W box. Super clean excellent Model 15 in box with all original papers. I had bought a Model 15 maybe 3 years ago we gifted to our son-in-law for Christmas.

The above was the one we gifted. Today I will get the one I bought. Gent left and I was right on Jimmy. :) Told him I was patiently waiting. So I will loan my sister the old M&P and end up with a sweet Model 15 for me. Pictures of those later. I view the Model 15 as a Model 10 with adjustable sights. :) Just couldn't say no to myself. Son-in-law loves his.

I just got this one in from PSA last week. Its a 10.5" in .223....AND a brace should be here anyday now and :thumbup:
Over the next few weeks I'm planning on adding in some color accents to brake up the scary black gun :)look 20210306_144942.jpg

Just came back from the "Militaria" show. Bought a very clean and complete Model 1893 "Spanish" Mauser carbine (I think). It's the short barreled item and made that way. I cannot find any organizational markings (scrubbed?) and the only serial number shown is "X 0000". For my WWI rifle collection. If the receiver was scrubbed, it was a good job. Doesn't show any sign of 'scrubbing'. Nice rifle anyway.
 
Ruger Hawkeye, 338 rcm. Also bought 250 pieces of brass, 120 rnds of Hornady ammo -- will keep me busy until the price of primers comes back to Earth. Fun, buying a rifle/cartridge that is no longer being made!
 
A Mossberg Patriot rifle in 450 Bushmaster. If the S&W revolvers posted above are considered the fine china of the firearms world, the Mossberg Patriot is the plastic fork.
 
Just took delivery on another half a gun...This one an unthreaded 5.5 blued Ruger MK IV upper, barrel only with sights, from Volquartsen. This one is designated to jump on the suppressor bandwagon with a cut and thread for a Super Shorty. Thinking on a cut to 2", which, when the suppressor is added, will screw the Dead Air Mask almost flush with the reciever.

A regular LGS I goto had a sale this weekend. All new S&W handguns were 30% off. So got a new Victory .22 for $350 and a SD9VE for $280. They had a range so fresh out of the box they were fired. Turns out the Victory was a huge lemon so far. First round fired but would not extract. Took a screwdriver to remove it, numerous times it would FTE and double feed at the same time.
 
Bought my first ever AR over Christmas. I have sold thousands of them when I was in the industry but never really had any desire to own one. Apparently it is actually a pistol since it has a 10.5 inch barrel and a brace thing on the stock. Guy I got it from paid about $1100 to put it together.

Anyway I shot it and did like it. I put a mag thru it and so did my wife. It seemed accurate and had a decent trigger. Fun gun to shoot and not as loud(10.5 inch barrel) as I thought it would be. The red dot scope thing worked great.

I then took my Norinco AK and shot a mag of it for the first time in forever. I still 100% without a doubt prefer the AK. But the AR will be a fun range toy a few times a year.
