Your Dream Mil Surplus weapons?

[andrewdl007]

I live for historic and military weapons. I have a list a mile long of Mil Surplus guns I would like to buy. If you could have one military rifle and one pistol from any army from any time what would they be? I would have to pick... a Mauser K98 and the Colt M1908 .380 pistols that Generals got, just for some variety.

Hitler's Luger.

 

[JWarren]

Are we including Class III? Are we going into near modern military arms?

I'll play it both ways:

Standard non-Class III:

1903A4 Springfield
Luger

or
M1D Garand
1911A1

or

Dragunov (not copy)
P38

Class III: (and subsituting Sub-gun for pistol at will)

M14
MP5

or

Galil Sniper
Uzi

or

BAR
Thompson



Just a few thoughts.

im not great at these games, but i'd want a beretta m9 that our guys carry now. something about the look of those guns always appealed to me. i think it was watching lethal weapon as a kid.

as for the rifle? a nice ol' cetme with wood furniture. neither is really unique, but the looks of those weapons appeals very strongly to me.

A Pennsylvania Rifle in mint condition. Yeah I know, it's not technically a surplus rifle but hey....

FN-FAL, 90 Counties can't be wrong!

While not an issue weapon they were used in the revolution and there ain't many things much pretty'r than a flint lock long rifle set in a tiger maple stock ! I'm with you on this one.

But for the sake of pure military issue I'll take a 1903 A4 sniper rifle and perhaps a calvary Colt.

I would like to own every small arm from WWII. While modern weapons are great, I really like the wepons from that era.

 

[jrfoxx]

Civil war rifle and pistol (any type, verified to have seen action, from both the north and south), and a revolutionary war rifle and pistol (again, from both sides).
Without being too specific and/or greedy, those would please me the most.

He had anything he could get his hands on.

JWarren's list is perfect.

 

[kfranz]

JWarren's list is perfect.

No, it is not.

Hilaire Belloc's sentiments seem appropriate when creating such a list....

"Whatever happens we have got / The Maxim Gun, and they have not."

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

All I want is 1 each of all the Mosin Nagant variants.

And some storage space to go with that.

 

[JWarren]

JWarren's list is perfect.

No, it is not.

Hehe.... what can I say.... The heart wants what the heart wants.
