I will list a few that I will work into owning at some point...
- Artillery Luger...they just speak to me and they are a mechanical work of art
- 1903 Männlicher Schönauer carbine in 6.5x54 is a big one on my list...the full mannlicher stock with butter knife bolt handle, rotary magazine and peep sight...so nice...handled a rebarrel in 7x57 by Griffin & Howe last night...close but not close enough
- falling block (Fahrquason, etc) in .360 x 2 1/4" black powder express...fantastic lines and plenty of horsepower for most needs
- best grade English Damascus 12 gauge double - would get sub-tubes to shoot 20 & 28 gauge in it at a fraction of the price
Most of the new guns don't speak to me and I own or have owned most of the current ones that do interest me. What are some classics on your list?
