What one single firearm would you choose as a gift?

[Solomonson]

If you were to be gifted one firearm today to add to your collection, what would you choose? A firearm you were obliged to retain and not sell, a firearm based on its merits as a firearm and not because it was Hitler's Luger, etc.

I think I would choose a Holland and Holland 4 bore double rifle like the one recently sold at Julia's:

Simple: I have what I "need" but have always wanted a Winny Model 94 .30-30 Golden Spike edition....

If you want Solomonson I can send you my FFL's address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hanzo581]

Winchester Model 1873 in .357, this one to be specific. I want it something fierce.

Probably a Python with either a 4 or 6 in barrel. If I was required to keep it, I wouldn't feel bad about taking it to the range!

 

[Mn Fats]

Something sentimental. My mothers mint condition 1943 Colt 1911A1 comes to mind. If not based in reality, I'd take something full auto like a Tommy gun.

 

[DM~]

A "guild gun" Vierling to my specs...

I guess I could live with a double rifle from David McKay Brown, to my specs though! lol

[CraigC]

I'd rather have a double gun I can actually use, like the Merkel .500NE I looked at several times while the Atlanta and Nashville NRA conventions.

 

[RPRNY]

A Kimber Valier 20 ga 28" splinter forend, straight stock, choked IC/M, or the "Dickinson" equivalent. If necessary, I too could live with a McKay Brown round action in the same spec.

 

[horsemen61]

A custom .223 Rem bolt action with a 26 inch full bull barrel like this to shoot often

 

[Schwing]

I am normally old-school but I have always had a sentimental fondness for the FN P90... Not the PS90 civilian model. Of course, I don't see them being legal any time soon so ...

 

[ontarget]

I would go with a very high quality flintlock rifle in a Pennsylvania or Kentucky pattern.

 

[Kookla]

I'd go with something high quality like a really high end .22 lr.

 

[hdwhit]

A 9mm P-08 "Luger" Pistol. Always thought they were cool. Always wanted one. Never enough to spend the money, but as a gift, that's a different story.

 

[JeeperCreeper]

Hi Point Carbine.

Lifetime Warranty and no resale value.

A Kimber Valier 20 ga 28" splinter forend, straight stock, choked IC/M, or the "Dickinson" equivalent. If necessary, I too could live with a McKay Brown round action in the same spec.

I don't know about you, but I don't care who made it, or how much it cost, I still go hunting with it...

I don't own any safe queens! EVERYTHING get's used and hunted with, including my drillings and double rifles!...

You should save your money and buy yourself a nicer 22!

I have both, a couple Anschutz sporters and a NULA model 20, Melvin Forbes made my Mod 20 exactly the way "I" wanted it!

They are an absolute pleasure to shoot, 22's are my fav firearms to shoot too...

[Walkalong]

Definitely a double rifle of some sort.

 

[chicharrones]

Dear Gun Fairy,

I would like an Australian International Arms M10-A2 bolt action carbine in 7.62x39, please.

Thank you,
chicharrones

 

[tomrkba]

I would go with either a Heirloom Precision 1911 made to my specs or an Accuracy International bolt gun with all the bells and whistles.

 

[Corpral_Agarn]

Winchester 94 (or 73, haven't decided) in 45 Colt.

YES, PLEASE.

 

[Captcurt]

Gotta go with one of my hero's favorites. I want a Model 70 Winchester Super Grade in 270 Win. That's right, Uncle Jack, I've wanted one for 55 years.

What, for shooting cows?

One could hunt with an H&H 4-bore. So long as they were stout of frame and heart...

GLOCK

 

[JeffG]

Probably a Lyman Sharps in 45/70.
