What is the last gun that you bought?

I got a little more nostalgic and went with a Colt SP1. :)

I have always loved the original AR-15/M-16. I carried one throughout basic training. It was made by the Hydra-Matic Division of General Motors. Paradoxically, it was stored in space number 223 in the weapons room. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
 
I'm awful as far as purchasing firearms. For all of the time I spend dealing with firearms issues, I haven't bought a gun in over 3 years. :(

The last thing I bought was my G19.
 
I just bought this Ruger 9mm LW Commander 3 weeks ago. It shoots great and even though I'm a 45ACP guy at heart it will see a lot of carry time. I have a bad back and when I can't carry my Colt LW 45ACP Commander the Ruger will be my next choice!!

Bought a couple before deploying out for a year, thinking I may not be able to buy when I get home (ironic to be military overseas to defend freedoms that I stand to lose while in harm's way). Anyway, been a life-long 1911 lover, but bought my first Glock with a non-MOS 34 model with the intent to shoot USPSA with it when I get home. I cannot hit the broad side of a barn with it, but that will come with time.

Also bought a Sig P320 Compact, which I am loving. The trigger is amazingly good and I like the modularity a lot. If a long-slide, IPSC focused conversion kit comes out, the Glock may need to find a new home.

And, in my down time away from home, I am looking at 7.62 rifles, like the SA SOCOM, the Desert Tech MDR, Kel Tec RFB and the Ruger 762 for the "one rifle to rule them all" need.
 
Just ordered Taurus 809 9mm with Novak sights.
This is first Taurus I'm ordering never had one before. Hope I like it.
Not received it yet.
 
I just bought a G20 in fde. I carefully explained to my wife how bears have been spotted just one county away. She just rolled her eyes and said "get whatever you want"
 
CZ 452 Trainer, like new, with five 10-round magazines, for $235 OTD. What a happy, happy day!

Edited to add: Stealthfixr, thank you for your service!!
 
Last night I bought a Mosin Nagant M39 Finnish SAKO from Classic Firearms, my first Mosin. I know, I know...very late to the Mosin party, but at least I got what I think is a good one before they are all gone.

Thanks, ACP!
 
Sent my model 29 into S&W to a four inch barrel. They ruined it, barrel was seized and trashed the frame. So they sent me a replacement. I told them if I have to go with a lock, frame mounted firing pin and a production action then they can throw in some engraving.
So here it is. Machine engraved, presentation case.

I haven't taken pictures of it yet, but it's a 1957 BSA Imperial Featherweight in .30-06. It has a built-in muzzle brake, factory sling swivels, and a gorgeous Schnabel stock.

The action is a Mauser variant, with a Winchester 54-style rib along the bolt as a stabilizing guide. The ejector also comes up from underneath like a 54; the left lug is solid. The cocking piece is tall and skinny like an SMLE, and sticks out the back when cocked as an indicator. The safety is on the bolt shroud, a lever hinged forward and back. The floorplate has a commercial Mauser style release lever in the trigger guard.

BSA made that style of rifle from the mid '50s to early '60s, then went to a new design with a small extractor and plunger ejector, similar to the post'64 Winchesters. I like my older model much better.

The rear sight is well ahead of the receiver, dovetailed into a knot in the barrel, like some of the modern high-end rifles do. Except this one was made in 1957.

The muzzle brake is just slots at the end of the barrel. BSA didn't keep that feature long, and reportedly had a "range hood" that could be attached to block the ports when other shooters threatened you with torches and pitchforks.

The top of the receiver is dovetailed to take Parker-Hale type scope rings. Which are, of course, oddball British bits... it looks like I'll have to find some rings first, then buy a scope to match.
 
After debating and looking at it for 2 months. I finally broke down and bought a Vepr12. I havent shot it yet but I'm sure I will like it.
 
Just picked up a sporterized Springfield 1903. My first US milsurp, and my first .30-06 rifle. Serial number is around 1,300,000.

Finished my 18" AR build with a cheap 18" stainless barrel from PSA. Still likes to hang around 1 Moa with 55gr vmax. Had to test it out at the farm as soon as it was assembled.

Weatherby SA-08 youth model 20 ga for my minuscule wife and scrawny kids to use at the trap range. They love it.

At the same time, bought a Ruger Mklll bull barrel but haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet. :cuss:
