I'm still trying to decide 
I want a milsup for a "project rifle" this year.
Got down to 2: Either a 7.5 Swiss K-31 or a 22LR Romanian Cugir?????
They both would be shooters. The K-31 would be sporterized for my son as his deer/hog rifle. The Cugir would be mine and made into a competiion rifle for one gun silhouette/bench contour barrels.
Which one should it be?

Just took delivery of my first of the year. Walther GSP (.22) in the briefcase, with 3 trigger packs, muzzle weight, and scope mount.

This is the year I pledge to get a CZ-75 with a Kadet kit. Of course, that will not merely be my first gun of this year but uh...ever.

- Springfield XD Service Model in 9mm
- Kimber Custom II Stainless
- Winchester Model 53
Last but not least, a LMT MRP, probably carbine length, with a 14.5" barrel, and a permanently attached Phantom. And a Colt lower to put it on.

I was hoping to get a garand for myself and a Kimber in 9mm for my wife. However after watching 60 Minutes the other night I think I might need to get a Barett in .50cal.
I promised myself that I would not buy any more weapons until I have purchased my reloading setup. It's killing me. So I am saving up to get a Dillon 550B and associated parts and pieces. I need the reloader because I have a project to rebuild an old Savage 110 in 270 cal into a 6.5/06. And I have to be able to reload to have any ammo.
oh the pain, the pain . . .

It's between 2 different guns. Either a Benelli Nova turkey gun or an AR15 carbine style or both. A SigPro 9mm would be nice too.

Good year
I had a good end of year and was able to get some goodies for first time in a while. I've been lucky enough to get a couple more:
No 4 Mk 1 Enfield and a K-31.
(Last year ended with a CETME, AK-47/WASR, and an AR-15)
Next on the list is a FAL. (saving my lunch money somethin' fierce!)

A pre-B model CZ-75 9mm, with adjustable Millett sights and factory wood grips. Why so precise? 'Cause the FFL and USPS MO are both in the mail, that's why! I'm righting a wrong from my youth, I never shoulda sold the first one I acquired back in the late 80's. Next one will be a T/C Encore or G-2.

Not exactly planned......
My wife and I were talking about this and I said that I really have all the guns that I plan to want. So I said it will probably be some impulse purchase like a Langdon SIG P220 or a CZ452 but only if I find one set up the way I want it already scoped, trigger job etc.
Three hours later we walk into my psychic gunshop and Bam there it is. I feel so guilty now. See thread here. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=120814

A Marlin 1895 in 45-70 was ordered and paid for the last week of December, 2004. I took delivery the first week of January, 2005. It was simultaneously the last purchase of 2004 and the first of 2005!

Gibbs Frontier 45-70 Carbine or a Taurus Millenium Pro in 45acp.

Unless someone can talk me out of it for quality reasons, my first firearm purchase of '05 and first firearm purchase ever will probably be a CIA SAM 1911 .45...anyone think it's a waste of money? I found one for a really low price.
If I don't buy that, I'll probably buy a Glock (can't decide which model yet) at the gun show coming up week after next.

Probably some sort of 12 gauge. I also have my eye on a Beretta .32 and the Walther G22. So many guns, so little cash!
